What’s extra special is that the cloud providers are now disincentivised from making those load balancers zone topology aware. If they made them efficiently pick the same zone whenever possible, they would be missing out on cross-AZ traffic billing, which is basically a money printer.
- zokier 3y agoAWS ELB certainly is zone aware, iirc cross-zone load-balancing is opt-in
- jiggawatts 3y agoAzure load balancers certainly aren’t. I guess that’s just one more reason to prefer AWS over Azure.
