What is the difference between a CloudHub Shared Load Balancer vs. a Dedicated Load Balancer?

• A. There is no difference; they are the same.
• B. A Dedicated Load Balancer can have more than one Shared Load Balancer within an Anypoint Virtual Private Cloud.
• C. A Shared Load Balancer can be used for private traffic only, while Dedicated is public.
• D. A Shared Load Balancer is more expensive than a Dedicated.

Answer: (B)

The key idea is how the load balancers relate inside an Anypoint Virtual Private Cloud. A Dedicated Load Balancer sits at the AVPC edge and is used for private, isolated traffic within your private network. The important detail is that a single Dedicated Load Balancer can back or host multiple Shared Load Balancers inside the AVPC. This lets you scale and segment traffic for different apps or teams while keeping everything under one private entry point.

So the reason this is the best choice is that it captures the architectural relationship: one Dedicated Load Balancer can support multiple Shared Load Balancers within the AVPC, enabling scale and organization of traffic. The other statements are not accurate: the difference is real, Shared Load Balancers are not typically for private traffic only (they’re the public-facing, multi-tenant option), Dedicated is not necessarily public, and pricing isn’t the central point of the distinction.
