Description: A Traffic Policy Document in cloud computing services is a set of guidelines that defines how network traffic should be managed towards the resources of an application or service. This document establishes the rules and configurations that determine how traffic is distributed among different instances, zones, or resources, thus optimizing availability and performance. Traffic policies can include configurations such as latency-based routing, geographic routing, and weighted routing, among others. These configurations allow system administrators and solution architects to customize how users access their applications, ensuring that requests are directed to the most appropriate resources based on specific criteria. Implementing a Traffic Policy Document is crucial to ensure that applications are resilient and scalable, adapting to variations in workload and enhancing the end-user experience.
