One-Time Import

The Configuration Importer tool can initialize or reset a Traffic Manager’s configuration to a pre-defined state in a single operation. This is known as a one-time import.

An administrator or orchestration tool (such as Docker or Kubernetes) might use a one-time import to deploy and configure a Traffic Manager in a single step. For example, a Traffic Manager Docker container can be deployed in a fully configured state from a single "docker run" command.

The one-time import can also be used to reset a running Traffic Manager's configuration to a specific state.
