Why each option
To implement Azure Traffic Manager for failover, ensuring all traffic redirects from App1eu to App1us if App1eu becomes unresponsive, two specific resources are required.
The priority routing method is essential for failover scenarios as it directs all traffic to the primary endpoint (App1eu) and automatically switches to a lower-priority endpoint (App1us) if the primary becomes unhealthy. This mechanism directly addresses the requirement for traffic redirection upon unresponsiveness.
The geographic routing method distributes traffic based on the user's origin location and would not achieve the desired failover behavior where all traffic shifts to a single backup endpoint.
A CNAME record in the custom DNS domain (fabrikam.com) is necessary to point the user-facing FQDN to the Azure Traffic Manager profile's DNS name. This allows client requests to be routed through Traffic Manager for load balancing and failover management.
A TXT record is used for domain verification or other text-based information, not for directing user traffic to a service like Traffic Manager.
A real user measurements key is used for performance-based routing decisions by collecting client-side latency data and is not required for a simple priority-based failover setup.
