 <h2>Multi-tenancy</h2>
 <p>Multi-tenancy has different levels of isolations. Almost all PaaS vendors only provide container multi-tenancy like virtual machine, LXC or docker, etc. Yet, this is not scalable for a large deployment scenario that has hundreds, thousands, or millions of tenants.</p>
 <p>Apache Stratos has both container and in-container multi-tenancy capability, making Apache Stratos unique in the PaaS space. With in-container multi-tenancy support, users can have high tenance density, which optimizes resource utilisation by sharing resources, such as CPU and memory across tenants.</p>

+<h2>Scalable dynamic load balancing</h2>
+<p>Load balancers play a major role in scaling applications in the cloud. Load balancers distribute incoming traffic into several server nodes, or clusters, or other resources to maximize throughput, minimize response time, and to provide mechanism scale application based on the workload.</p>
+<p>Apache Stratos is capable of provisioning scalable load balancers for any IaaS clouds as well as integrating with any third-party load balancers. This gives more flexibility and extendability while providing more efficient load balancing based on the deployment environment.</p>
+<h2>Apache Stratos load balancing features and benefits</h2>
+<p>Provisioning - Load balancers can spin up dynamically. Based on load balancer as cartridges, Apache Stratos will spin up defined minimum load balancers with the first application subscription. Moreover, it is capable of defining load balancers to spin up in every cloud and region, enabling effective multi-cloud deployment, especially for geo-graphical-based application deployments.</p>
+<p><strong>Flexibility</strong> - Can define service-level dedicated load balancing. Easy to define service-level load balancers via REST API while capable of carrying out load balancing in multiple services with a single load balancer.</p>
+<p><strong>Expandability</strong> - Capability of integrating with any third-party load balancers. With the message broker and topology-based model, it’s easy to integrate load balancers like HAProxy, nginx, AWS ELB, etc. It provides optimized load balancing based on the deployment (e.g. uses AWS ELB on EC2 deployment).</p>
