Generally Available: Azure DNS enables DNS-based load balancing through Traffic Manager linked records

integration with Azure Traffic Manager. Customers can directly associate an

Azure DNS record set with a Traffic Manager profile, eliminating the need to

records by removing the unsigned trafficmanager.net domain from the DNS

resolution chain.
