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.

HAProxy is an open-source load balancer and reverse proxy for TCP and HTTP-based applications.

It provides multiple load-balancing algorithms, TLS/SSL termination and certificate management, Lua scripting, a runtime API, hitless reloads, and built-in metrics for Prometheus.
