Description

Azure DNS now offers a seamless way to integrate with Azure Traffic Manager for DNS-based traffic routing. Customers can now directly associate Azure DNS record set with Traffic Manager profiles without creating CNAME record for trafficmanager.net domain. This improves lookup latency by eliminating a CNAME hop and enables DNSSEC compatibility for load balanced records by removing unsigned trafficmanager.net domain from CNAME lookup chain.
