Your team is designing a global app that must route users to the closest regional instance to minimize latency. Which Azure service provides this routing?

Azure Traffic Manager is a DNS-based traffic load balancer that distributes user traffic to global Azure regions based on various routing methods, including performance (which routes to the closest, lowest-latency endpoint). This directly addresses the requirement for routing users to the closest regional instance to minimize latency. Azure VPN Gateway connects on-premises networks to Azure or links Azure virtual networks, not for global user routing. Azure Application Gateway is a web traffic load balancer that manages traffic to web applications within a single region, offering features like SSL offloading and WAF, but not global DNS-based routing. Azure Virtual WAN is a networking service that brings many networking, security, and routing functionalities together to provide a single operational interface, primarily for large-scale branch connectivity and global transit, not direct user-to-closest-instance routing.
