AZ-104: Microsoft Azure Administrator Full Course - Traffic Manager: Priority Routing

The video tutorial explains how to ensure service reliability by using backup services and priority routing. It discusses how traffic managers prioritize service endpoints to maintain business continuity during service failures. The tutorial covers the configuration of traffic managers, endpoint monitoring, and the implementation of failover patterns. Priority routing is highlighted as a method to redirect traffic to secondary regions if the primary service fails, ensuring uninterrupted service.

Why is it important for an organization to have multiple endpoints for their services?

• To increase the speed of service delivery

• To ensure continuous operation even if one endpoint fails

• To reduce the cost of service maintenance

• To improve the quality of service

What is the primary function of a traffic manager in priority routing?

• To balance the load across all endpoints equally

• To send traffic to the endpoint with the least load

• To route traffic to the highest priority endpoint first

• To monitor the performance of all endpoints

How does a traffic manager decide to switch traffic from a primary to a secondary endpoint?

• Based on the time of day

• When the primary endpoint is disabled or fails

• When the secondary endpoint has more resources

• Randomly to test all endpoints

What is a key benefit of using priority routing in web applications?

• It reduces the need for backup services

• It ensures 100% traffic is always directed to the primary endpoint

• It allows for automatic failover to a secondary site

• It eliminates the need for endpoint monitoring

In priority routing, how are endpoint priorities typically configured?

• Manually by the administrator

• Automatically based on endpoint performance

• Explicitly or by default based on endpoint order

• Randomly to ensure fairness
