Cross-Zone Load Balancing is a feature that enables a load balancer to distribute incoming traffic evenly across all registered targets in all enabled Availability Zones, rather than just within its own zone [citation:3][citation:10].
Cross-Zone Load Balancing is a feature that allows a load balancer to distribute incoming traffic evenly across all registered targets in all enabled Availability Zones (AZs). Without this feature, each load balancer node distributes traffic only to targets in its own AZ, which can lead to uneven load distribution if the number of targets or request rates vary by AZ. With cross-zone load balancing enabled, each load balancer node can route traffic to targets in any of the enabled AZs, ensuring a more balanced load [citation:3][citation:10].
