General availability: Always Serve for Azure Traffic Manager

Today we are announcing that Always Serve for Azure Traffic Manager (ATM) is now generally available. You can disable endpoint health checks from an ATM profile and always serve traffic to that given endpoint. You can also now choose to use 3rd party health check tools to determine endpoint health, and ATM native health checks can be disabled, allowing flexible health check setups. 

When creating or updating an endpoint, one can enable Always Serve.  The feature is enabled in the Azure portal, the API version “2022-04-01”, and Azure PowerShell.

For more information on how to enable Always Serve, please refer to documentation.
