The load balancing service is a regionalized service. It allows the caller to select a region
into which a load balancer is to be provisioned.
If load balancing Cloud Servers, you can determine the appropriate region to select by viewing
your Cloud Servers list and creating a load balancer within the same region as the data center in
which your Cloud Server resides. When your resources reside in the same region as your load
balancer, devices are in close proximity to each other and can take advantage of ServiceNet
connectivity for free data transfer between services.
If load balancing external servers, you can determine the appropriate region to select by
choosing the region that is geographically as close to your external servers as possible.
