Exam AZ-400 topic 8 question 43 discussion

Actual exam question from Microsoft's AZ-400

Question #: 43
Topic #: 8

SIMULATION -
You plan to deploy a website that will be hosted in two Azure regions.
You need to create an Azure Traffic Manager profile named az400123456789n1-tm in a resource group named RG1lod123456789. The solution must ensure that users will always connect to a copy of the website that is in the same country.
To complete this task, sign in to the Microsoft Azure portal.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: See explanation below.
1. Go to the Azure portal, navigate to Traffic Manager profiles and click on the Add button to create a routing profile.

2, In the Create Traffic Manager profile, enter, or select these settings:

Name: az400123456789n1-tm -

Routing method: Geographic -

Resource group: RG1lod123456789 -

Note: Traffic Manager profiles can be configured to use the Geographic routing method so that users are directed to specific endpoints (Azure, External or Nested) based on which geographic location their DNS query originates from. This empowers Traffic Manager customers to enable scenarios where knowing a user's geographic region and routing them based on that is important.

I got this and 7more of this labs in a single shot and 1 use case, labs when you start a lab you will have the labs in a right panel and a kind of virtual machine in the middle (this will be a simulator where it will open a browser with the azure portal page)

Based on the following link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/traffic-manager/traffic-manager-routing-methods "With the 'Performance' traffic-routing method, you can route traffic to the location that is 'closest' to you. The 'closest' endpoint isn't necessarily closest as measured by geographic distance. Instead, the 'Performance' traffic-routing method determines the closest endpoint by measuring network latency. " The question says "The solution must ENSURE that users will always connect to a copy of the website that is in the SAME COUNTRY". Putting all together, Geographic seems more suited to me, because "Performance" does not guarantee it will be in the same country.

I believe it can done with both Performance and Geographic option. I think Performace option is better than Geography. Performance optiion will redirect user to closest endpoint with lowest latency. Geography option will redirect user endpoint which is mapped to that geography location. It may not be closest. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/traffic-manager/traffic-manager-faqs#how-do-i-decide-if-i-should-use-performance-routing-method-or-geographic-routing-method

Looking at it again. "Permformance" routing seems better fit in this case. Not sure which one correct. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/traffic-manager/traffic-manager-routing-methods
