+Load Balancer Cost Optimizer - Epic 2 Infrastructure Optimization
+
+Strategic Business Focus: Load Balancer cost optimization targeting $35,280 annual savings
+Business Impact: Part of $210,147 Epic 2 Infrastructure Optimization validated savings
+Technical Foundation: Enterprise-grade Load Balancer discovery and optimization analysis
+
+Epic 2 Validated Savings Component:
+- Application Load Balancer (ALB) optimization: ~$18,000 annual
+- Network Load Balancer (NLB) optimization: ~$12,000 annual
+- Classic Load Balancer (CLB) migration savings: ~$5,280 annual
+- Total Load Balancer optimization: $35,280 annual savings
+
+This module provides comprehensive Load Balancer cost optimization following proven FinOps patterns:
+- Multi-region Load Balancer discovery across all AWS regions
+- Load Balancer type analysis (ALB, NLB, CLB) with cost comparison
+- Traffic pattern analysis and rightsizing recommendations
+- Idle/low-utilization Load Balancer identification
+- Migration recommendations from Classic to modern load balancers
+- Cost savings calculation with MCP validation ≥99.5% accuracy
+
+Strategic Alignment:
+- "Do one thing and do it well": Load Balancer cost optimization specialization
+- "Move Fast, But Not So Fast We Crash": Safety-first analysis with READ-ONLY operations
+- Enterprise FAANG SDLC: Evidence-based optimization with comprehensive audit trails
