About

Google Cloud Load Balancing is a managed load balancing service that distributes application traffic across virtual machines and containers on Google Cloud.

It supports global and regional load balancing, a single anycast IP address for worldwide deployments, automatic scaling without pre-warming, integration with Cloud CDN and Cloud Armor, and uses Envoy and Google Front End proxies to route and manage traffic.

Google Front End (GFE) is Google's globally distributed reverse proxy that accepts client connections at the network edge and routes requests to Google services.

It provides TLS termination, request routing, load balancing, and protection against denial-of-service attacks, and is available only as the underlying infrastructure for Google Cloud Load Balancing and other Google services.
