This could be Yes as Public Standard LB now have option to be a Global or Regional LB. Question is outdated.

I don't see anywhere in documentation that a standard LB can be Global. Please enlighten. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/load-balancer/quickstart-load-balancer-standard-public-portal?tabs=option-1-create-load-balancer-standard

Ok but what about the other requirement. Does Load balancer "Support rate limiting"? I can't find anything in the docs about rate limiting for load balancer.
