Creating a Traffic Manager on Microsoft Azure

To use the Virtual Traffic Manager (Traffic Manager) on the Microsoft Azure platform, you create one or more virtual machine “instances” using the Azure Certified Traffic Manager template available from the Azure marketplace. Each instance is a version of the Traffic Manager Virtual Appliance variant, optimized for Azure. No other installation is necessary, although you must log into a newly deployed instance to configure the Traffic Manager software before it can be used to manage your services.
