Traffic Manager returns DNS answers. Cached answers can outlive a routing change. This regional URL stays in its region; refreshing it does not re-test Traffic Manager selection.
You are viewing a regional Azure Container App, not a Traffic Manager proxy. Follow the signal from DNS selection to probe health to real application work.

/health is the Traffic Manager monitor signal. A green probe is only as useful as what it checks.
/work simulates a user operation. In false-positive mode, the probe returns 200 while useful work returns 503.
| Mode | /health | /work | Lesson |
|---|---|---|---|
| healthy | 200 | 200 | Healthy probe, successful work |
| unhealthy | 503 | 503 | Application failure is visible |
| dependency-failure | 503 | 503 | Dependency-aware health is visible |
| false-positive | 200 | 503 | Shallow probe hides failed work |
ACA platform probes /live and /ready stay at 200 in every mode so the simulated failure remains observable. Changing a mode requires an authenticated management-plane deployment; there is no public toggle.
