About Azure Traffic Manager

Azure Traffic Manager was launched by Microsoft as part of its Azure cloud platform to address the need for efficient traffic management and load balancing across multiple global endpoints. It was designed to enhance the availability and performance of applications by directing user requests based on various routing methods. The specific year of its creation is not widely documented, but it has been a vital component of Azure's offerings for several years, evolving to meet the growing demands of cloud-based services.

Strengths of Azure Traffic Manager include global traffic distribution, multiple routing methods, and integration with Azure services. Weaknesses may involve dependency on DNS propagation and potential latency in DNS-based routing changes. Competitors include Amazon Route 53, Google Cloud Load Balancing, and Cloudflare Load Balancer.
