Generally Available: TLS and TCP termination on Azure Application Gateway

Share

Services

Azure Application Gateway has introduced general availability support for TLS and TCP protocol termination. This enhancement enables you to load balance and securely process non-HTTP(S) traffic for applications that rely on TCP or TLS protocols. The gateway terminates the incoming connection at the proxy and establishes a new connection to the backend servers. The TLS certificate management is available for both HTTPS and TLS protocols on a resource, simplifying the certificate operations and providing a single endpoint for clients. With this release, the TLS/TCP proxy also brings support for [Client IP preservation](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/application-gateway/proxy-protocol-header) using the PROXY protocol header, as well as support for port 22 on listeners. This capability is available on Application Gateway Standard v2 and WAF v2 SKUs. [Learn more](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/application-gateway/tcp-tls-proxy-overview).
