What Azure service to use for DR strategy - Traffic Manager , App Gateway , Load balancer or Azure Front door in terms for HA and high resilience


Azure DR strategy what to use Traffic Manager , App Gateway , Load balancer or Azure Front door in terms for HA and high resilience.


Solution

  • Microsoft Azure services like Application Gateway, Front Door, Load Balancer and Traffic Manager can be divided into two categories:

    • Global load-balancing services such as Traffic Manager and Front Door distribute traffic from your end users across your regional backends, across clouds and even your hybrid on-premises services.
    • Regional load-balancing services such as Load Balancers and Application Gateways provide the ability to distribute traffic to virtual machines (VMs) within a virtual network (VNETs) or service endpoints within a region.

    When choosing a global load balancer between Traffic Manager and Azure Front Door for global routing, you should consider what’s similar and what’s different about the two services.
