What is Azure Traffic Manager?

Azure Traffic Manager operates at the DNS level, efficiently managing incoming DNS requests based on your chosen routing strategy. For example, it can direct traffic to the nearest endpoints, which significantly improves the performance and responsiveness of applications. Azure Traffic Manager provides six different types of DNS-based routing options: Priority, performance, geographic, weighted round-robin, subnet, and multi-value. You have the flexibility to select the routing type that aligns with your requirements or even create combinations using nested profiles. By continuously monitoring both Azure services and external websites, Traffic Manager ensures that essential applications remain available, automatically redirecting users to alternative endpoints in case of a failure. In addition, it enhances application performance and accelerates content delivery by routing users to Azure endpoints or external resources that present the lowest network latency, contributing to a smooth user experience even under adverse conditions. This level of adaptability makes Azure Traffic Manager an indispensable asset for achieving optimal performance in an ever-evolving digital landscape, ensuring that applications can withstand fluctuations and maintain user satisfaction.
