Azure Traffic Manager is a DNS-based traffic load balancer that enables you to distribute traffic optimally to services across global Azure regions while providing high availability and responsiveness.
The traffic manager service is used to direct client requests to the most appropriate service endpoint that is based on a traffic routing method and health of the endpoint.
The different traffic routing methods available for the Azure Traffic Manager below
- Priority: Route traffic to another endpoint in case the primary falls.
- Weighted: Route traffic to the different endpoints based on weight.
- Performance: You want the end-users to use the "closest" endpoint in terms of the lowest network latency.
- Geographic: Users would be directed to the endpoint based on their geographic location.
- Subnet: This maps the set of end-users IP address ranges to a specific endpoint within a traffic manager profile.
