AZ-104: Microsoft Azure Administrator Full Course - Azure Traffic Manager Profiles

The video tutorial explains Azure Traffic Manager, a tool for managing network traffic across global data centers. Unlike traditional load balancers, Traffic Manager uses DNS to direct user requests to the nearest endpoint, improving performance and availability. It supports various endpoints, including Azure and non-Azure services, and offers health checks and automatic failover. The tutorial covers different routing methods like priority, performance, geographic, and weighted, and introduces new methods like multi-value and subnet routing. Traffic Manager is ideal for hybrid cloud deployments and enhances user experience by reducing latency.
