Original: Load Balancing on AWS and GCP: A Practical Guide

Short summary

AWS and GCP offer mature managed load balancers with different naming and regional scope. AWS uses ALB for Layer 7 and NLB for Layer 4 with regional architecture, requiring Global Accelerator for multi-region reach. GCP's HTTP(S) Load Balancer is global by default, and both support Kubernetes integrations with similar health-check tuning.

  • •AWS load balancers (ALB/NLB) are regional; multi-region deployments need Global Accelerator or Route 53
  • •GCP's HTTP(S) Load Balancer is global by default via anycast IP, simpler multi-region setup
  • •Both platforms support native Kubernetes integration and equivalent health-check configuration
