Azure Traffic Manager
Save
Azure Traffic Manager is a cloud-based traffic load balancer that distributes incoming traffic across multiple endpoints in your Azure cloud architecture. It provides high availability and low latency by dynamically routing traffic to the best available endpoint based on factors such as geographic location, latency, and availability. Azure Traffic Manager helps ensure that your applications and services are always available to your users, even in the event of failures or maintenance.
How Azure Traffic Manager Works
Azure Traffic Manager uses a Domain Name System (DNS) based load balancing to distribute traffic. When a client makes a DNS request for a domain that is managed by Azure Traffic Manager, the traffic manager responds with the IP address of the most appropriate endpoint. Azure Traffic Manager continuously monitors the health of the endpoints and automatically redirects traffic away from unhealthy endpoints.
