How it works...

Traffic Manager is assigned a public endpoint that must be an FQDN. All traffic arriving to that endpoint will be distributed to endpoints in the backend, using the routing method defined. The default routing method is performance. The performance method will distribute traffic based on the best possible performance available. For example, if we have more than one backend endpoint in the same region, traffic will be spread evenly. If the endpoints are located across different regions, Traffic Manager will direct traffic to the endpoint closest to the incoming traffic in terms of geographical location and minimum network latency.
