Load Balancers Concepts

Generated on 23 May 2025

DigitalOcean fully manages Regional Load Balancers and Global Load Balancers, ensuring they are highly available load balancing services. Load balancers distribute traffic to groups of backend resources in specific regions or across different regions, which prevents the health of a service from depending on the health of a single server, cluster, or region.

Load Balancer Status

The statuses reflect how many nodes in a load balancer pass their latest health check.
