Microsoft releases the public preview of Azure Private Application Gateway v2
This past week, Microsoft Azure announced the public preview of their Private Application Gateway v2, a feature that brings even more security and flexibility to your AKS clusters. No, this is not the second version of the private gateway. It is a new & complimentary feature to the existing V2 App Gateway that we've all come to know and love.
With Private Application Gateway v2, you can now have a private gateway for your Kubernetes services, enabling you to securely expose them to other services within your virtual network. This is a great way to make sure that your services are only accessible to authorized users and helps keep your network secure.
In addition, Private Application Gateway v2 comes with support for Virtual Network Service Endpoints, which means that your services can now connect directly to your virtual network without the need for a public IP address. This not only provides an additional layer of security but also reduces latency and can improve the overall performance of your services (plus it's one less public IP to pay for & manage).
But that's not all (I know. I'm starting to sound like I am plugging a Ron Popeil product), Private App Gateway v2 also includes a new feature called Path-based routing, which allows you to route traffic based on the URL path. This means that you can have multiple services running on the same IP address and port, but they can be differentiated based on their URL paths. This makes it easier to manage your services and provide a better experience to your users.

1 个月Hello Peter, Any news on when it's (App Gateway Private feature) gonna go public?
But it does not seem that you can change an existing instance in order to drop the public IP, it fails with: "does not support Application Gateway without Public IP for the selected SKU tier Standard_v2" (and yes, I have registered the feature and re-registered the Microsoft.Network provider) - you need to delete the app gw and re-create it - that's a bit of a bummer.
"But wait, there's more!"
