Load balancing Azure Blob Storage


Is there any way to load balance the Azure Blob Storage by just using Azure Load Balancer and the Blob Storage (without needing a service)?

What I'm trying to achieve is to hit a load-balancer url like:

https://load-balancer.somerandomazureurl.net

Which will route the request to a blob container (with same contents) in either West Europe or Central US data centers depending on the location and the load.


Solution

  • After some time - Azure Front Door is the right answer for this question. It allows load-balancing between the storage accounts so for a SPA (Single Page Application) the right solution is to use Azure Front Door and multiple storage accounts in the back-end which are configured to be static websites.
