External load balancers direct public internet traffic to internal services using a public IP address. In contrast, internal load balancers manage traffic exclusively within a private network, routing requests between internal resources. Understanding this key difference is essential for building scalable and secure application architectures.

This is crucial for improving security, managing traffic, and organizing devices without needing separate physical hardware.
