Invoke-WebRequest for the PowerShell cmdlet and 200 for the status code. This is because: The Invoke-WebRequest cmdlet can be used to send a request to a Traffic Manager endpoint (or any other URL), allowing you to manually check the HTTP response. A 200 HTTP status code generally indicates a successful HTTP request. If an endpoint is healthy and functioning correctly, it should respond with a 200 status code. Please note that this method does not directly check the status of the Azure Traffic Manager's health probe. To directly verify the status of a Traffic Manager endpoint, you would typically use the Get-AzTrafficManagerEndpoint cmdlet. However, as this cmdlet is not among the provided options, Invoke-WebRequest is the closest available option for this scenario.
