Exam 70-487 topic 7 question 2 discussion

Actual exam question from Microsoft's 70-487

Question #: 2
Topic #: 7

You are developing an application. You use Azure Traffic Manager to direct traffic to two regions based on the location of the user. You create one parent profile and three child profiles. You set the value of the MinChildEndpoints property for each child profile to 2.
You need to configure fault tolerance for the application.
Which traffic routing method should you use for child profiles?

A. Weighted
B. Priority
C. Geographic
D. Performance

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B 🗳️
The Traffic Manager profile contains a prioritized list of service endpoints. By default, Traffic Manager sends all traffic to the primary (highest-priority) endpoint. If the primary endpoint is not available, Traffic Manager routes the traffic to the next endpoint.
Incorrect Answers:
A: The 'Weighted' traffic-routing method allows you to distribute traffic evenly or to use a pre-defined weighting.
C: A geographic region can be mapped only to one endpoint in a Traffic Manager profile when the routing type is Geographic Routing.
D: Deploying endpoints in two or more locations across the globe can improve the responsiveness of many applications by routing traffic to the location that is
'closest' to you. The 'Performance' traffic-routing method provides this capability.

I think it should be "Performance" for the parent profile and "Priority" for the children profiles. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/traffic-manager/traffic-manager-nested-profiles Example 3: Prioritized failover regions in 'Performance' traffic routing

"Priority: Select Priority when you want to use a primary service endpoint for all traffic, and provide backups in case the primary or the backup endpoints are unavailable." Source: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/traffic-manager/traffic-manager-routing-methods
