After a Traffic Manager profile is created, we have the frontend endpoint and routing method defined. But we still need to define where the traffic needs to go after it's reached Traffic Manager. We need to add endpoints to the backend and define where the traffic is directed. In this recipe, we'll add a new endpoint to Traffic Manager.

The script can be...
