You manage a cloud service that hosts a customer-facing application. The application allows
users to upload images and create collages. The cloud service is running in two medium
instances and utilizes Azure Queue storage for image processing. The storage account is
configured to be locally redundant.
The sales department plans to send a newsletter to potential clients. As a result, you expect
a significant increase in global traffic.
You need to recommend a solution that meets the following requirements:
✑ Configure the cloud service to ensure the application is responsive to the traffic increase.
✑ Minimize hosting and administration costs.

D.
Deploy a new cloud service in a separate data center. Use Azure Traffic Manager to load
balance traffic between the cloud services.
