How does the 'performance' option in azure traffic manager work with child profiles,when the child profiles contain data centers in different sub-regions?
I understand the performance option sends traffic to the nearest data center which makes sense, but what about when it's choosing between nested-profiles, as those profiles could contain data centers anywhere.
SO, if I create several nested profiles 'europe-zone', 'us-zone', 'asia-zone' each with a number of different data centers below it how will the traffic be routed exactly / exactly how will it select a zone.
europe-zone
1.1 north-europe
1.2 west-europe
us-zone
2.1 east-us
2.2 west-us
2.3 central-us
asia-zone
3.1 japan
3.2 east-asia
I have not find any detailed info on this scenario, the examples given, for example this one http://azure.microsoft.com/blog/2014/10/29/new-azure-traffic-manager-nested-profiles/ don't explain the behaviour.
Remember I could have had profiles like
1. profile #1
- 1.1 japan
- 1.2 west-us
2. profile #2
- 2.1 west-us
- 2.2 japan
so how would it select then?
