Load Balancer Failover Policy

Load Balancer Failover Policy is a networking resilience policy that defines when traffic should move to another path or region for traffic distribution. It uses health signals, priorities, and cooldown windows so teams can recover from outages predictably while keeping evidence, reliability, and public-safe operational boundaries clear.

“The network engineering team used Load Balancer Failover Policy when traffic shifted between regions, so the team could recover from outages predictably before traffic crossed a service boundary.”
