DigitalOcean fully manages Regional Load Balancers and Global Load Balancers, ensuring they are highly available load balancing services. Load balancers distribute traffic to groups of Droplets in specific regions or across different regions, which prevents the health of a backend service from depending on the health of a single server or a single region.

All datacenter regions offer regional load balancers, but Droplets in a regional load balancer’s backend pool must be in the same region as the load balancer.
Global load balancers are available in all regions except nyc1.
