Traffic Manager example deployment ​

Contoso Corp have developed a new partner portal. The URL for this portal is https://partners.contoso.com/login.aspx.

The application is hosted in three regions of Azure. To improve availability and maximize global performance, they use Traffic Manager to distribute client traffic to the closest available endpoint.

To achieve this configuration, they complete the following steps:

1. Deploy three instances of their service. The DNS names of these deployments are contoso-us.cloudapp.net, contoso-eu.cloudapp.net, and contoso-asia.cloudapp.net.

2. Create a Traffic Manager profile, named contoso.trafficmanager.net, and configure it to use the 'Performance' traffic-routing method across the three endpoints.

3. Configure their vanity domain name, partners.contoso.com, to point to contoso.trafficmanager.net, using a DNS CNAME record.
