--- slug: /myaccount/load-balancer title: Load Balancer Documentation --- Use these guides to plan, create, manage, and troubleshoot Load Balancers in MyAccount. Most workflows start from **Compute > Load Balancer** in the left navigation. A Load Balancer distributes incoming traffic across a group of backend nodes so your application stays available, scales with demand, and tolerates the failure of an individual server. E2E Cloud offers two types: an **Application Load Balancer (ALB)** that works at Layer 7 for HTTP and HTTPS traffic, and a **Network Load Balancer (NLB)** that works at Layer 4 for TCP traffic. If you are not sure which one you need, start with [Choose a Load Balancer](/docs/myaccount/load-balancer/getting-started/choose-load-balancer). import { LbFeatureCards, LbGettingStartedCards, LbManageCards, LbTroubleshootCards, } from "@site/docs/myaccount/load-balancer/loadBalancerCards";
