Azure Traffic Manager increases application responsiveness by leveraging performance routing and enables businesses to combine on-site and cloud systems. It offers different types of DNS-based traffic routing, including priority, performance, geographic, weighted round-robin, subnet, and multi-value. It also uses the geographic routing method to help with business geofencing needs. The software monitors Azure Services or external websites and services to improve the availability of essential apps. It directs users to another location when there is a system failure. Companies may use the software with on-premises scenarios like burst-to-cloud, migrate-to-cloud, and failover-to-cloud. They may utilize it to upgrade or maintain on-site datacenters without inconveniencing customers. ## What is Azure Traffic Manager used for?
