Equinix-native Load Balancer-as-a-Service now in public beta

Equinix-native Load Balancer-as-a-Service. It’s now in public beta, and if you have an Equinix Metal account you can take it for a spin free of charge (while in beta) via the console or the Metal API. Making it especially powerful is its use of our global high-speed network backbone. Launch an instance, and your user traffic will automatically get in the internet’s fast lane at the closest location possible!

You can read more about that—and generally about the direction of the product—in this blog post.

If you want to spin up a load balancer and feel the magic for yourself, all the details are in the docs. Here’s also a live demo from our recent developer event.
