# Load Balancers | ||
|
||
A load balancer is a device that distributes network or application traffic across a number of servers to increase | ||
capacity, reliability, and reduce latency | ||
|
||
|
||
### How do Load balancers work | ||
|
||
Load balancers are deployed onto your chosen network providing access to other instances within your VPC. | ||
|
||
Available in 3 specification to suit your use case, from small sites with low traffic requirements up to large | ||
applications with high traffic throughput. | ||
|
||
|
||
### Creating a Load balancer | ||
|
||
On your ANS Portal you will find your load balancers listed under the Networking section of the main navigation bar. | ||
|
||
From the load balancer resource screen, click the `Create Load balancer` button, where you can now create your | ||
load balancer using our deployment screen. | ||
|
||
It is recommended that you give your load balancer an identifying name, you can now configure where you load balancer | ||
is intended to deploy to, and choose the specification size for your use case. | ||
|
||

|
||
When ready, click the `Create Load balancer` button to start the deployment. You will then be redirected to the | ||
overview screen for your new load balancer. | ||
|
||

|
||
When the infrastructure is deployed, you will then be able to manage the configuration of your load balancer. | ||
More information on how to configure a load balancer is available in our | ||
[Getting started](/network/load-balancers/getting-started/) guide | ||
|
||
|
||
### Managing your Load balancer | ||
|
||
eCloud Load balancers are managed from two locations, the infrastructure itself is managed from the eCloud VPC section | ||
of the Portal, but the management of the load balancer itself, is done via the | ||
[Load balancer Management](/network/load-balancers/) screens. | ||
|
||
|
||
### Deleting a Load balancer | ||
|
||
On your ANS Portal select the load balancer you wish to delete and browse to the overview screen. | ||
|
||
Before you can delete the infrastructure, you will need to ensure all dependent resources have been removed, this | ||
includes any Virtual IPs configured and that no production traffic is pointed at the load balancer. | ||
|
||
Once dependent resources are removed, you can click the `Delete Load balancer` button to trigger the removal process. | ||
