Worldwide Autoscaling and Load Balancing
Scale your applications on Google Compute Engine from zero to full-throttle with Google Cloud Load Balancing, with no pre-warming needed. Distribute your load-balanced compute resources in single or multiple regions, close to your users and to meet your high availability requirements. Cloud Load Balancing can put your resources behind a single anycast IP and scale your resources up or down with intelligent Autoscaling. Cloud Load Balancing comes in a variety of flavors and is integrated with Google Cloud CDN for optimal application and content delivery.
Global Load Balancing with Single Anycast IP
With Cloud Load Balancing, a single anycast IP front-ends all your backend instances in regions around the world. It provides cross-region load balancing including automatic multi-region failover which gently moves traffic in fractions if backends become unhealthy. In contrast to DNS-based Global Load Balancing solutions, Cloud Load Balancing reacts instantaneously to changes in users, traffic, network, backend health and other related conditions.
Software-Defined Load Balancing
Cloud Load Balancing is a fully distributed, software-defined, managed service for all your traffic. It is not an instance or device based solution, so you won’t be locked into physical load balancing infrastructure or face the HA, scale and management challenges inherent in instance based LBs. You can apply Cloud Load Balancing to all of your traffic: HTTP(S), TCP/SSL, and UDP. You can also terminate your SSL traffic with HTTPS Load Balancing and SSL proxy.
Over One Million Queries Per Second
Cloud Load Balancing is built on the same front-end serving infrastructure that powers Google. It supports 1 Million+ queries per second with consistent high performance and low latency. Traffic enters Cloud Load Balancing through 80+ distinct global load balancing locations, maximizing the distance traveled on Google's fast private network backbone.
Seamless Autoscaling
Cloud Load Balancing can scale as your users and traffic grow, including easily handling huge, unexpected and instantaneous spikes by diverting traffic to other regions in the world that can take traffic. Autoscaling does not require pre-warming, you can scale from zero to full throttle in a matter of seconds.
Internal Load Balancing
Internal Load Balancing enables you to build scalable and highly available internal services for your internal client instances without requiring your load balancers to be exposed to the Internet. GCP Internal Load Balancing is architected using Andromeda, Google’s software-defined network virtualization platform.
