1---2name: azure-traffic-manager3description: Expert knowledge for Azure Traffic Manager development including troubleshooting, best practices, decision making, architecture & design patterns, configuration, and integrations & coding patterns. Use when configuring profiles/endpoints, routing methods, RUM JS, nested designs, or Traffic View–based tuning, and other Azure Traffic Manager related development tasks. Not for Azure Front Door (use azure-front-door), Azure Load Balancer (use azure-load-balancer), Azure Virtual WAN (use azure-virtual-wan), Azure Application Gateway (use azure-application-gateway).4---5# Azure Traffic Manager Skill67This skill provides expert guidance for Azure Traffic Manager. Covers troubleshooting, best practices, decision making, architecture & design patterns, configuration, and integrations & coding patterns. It combines local quick-reference content with remote documentation fetching capabilities.89## How to Use This Skill1011> **IMPORTANT for Agent**: Use the **Category Index** below to locate relevant sections. For categories with line ranges (e.g., `L35-L120`), use `read_file` with the specified lines. For categories with file links (e.g., `[security.md](security.md)`), use `read_file` on the linked reference file1213> **IMPORTANT for Agent**: If `metadata.generated_at` is more than 3 months old, suggest the user pull the latest version from the repository. If `mcp_microsoftdocs` tools are not available, suggest the user install it: [Installation Guide](https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/mcp/blob/main/README.md)1415This skill requires **network access** to fetch documentation content:16- **Preferred**: Use `mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch` with query string `from=learn-agent-skill`. Returns Markdown.17- **Fallback**: Use `fetch_webpage` with query string `from=learn-agent-skill&accept=text/markdown`. Returns Markdown.1819## Category Index2021| Category | Lines | Description |22|----------|-------|-------------|23| Troubleshooting | L34-L38 | Testing Traffic Manager routing behavior, verifying
