Plan now and prevent headaches later! We've been talking about this for a while, and we want you to be prepared. Starting September 30, Microsoft will remove default outbound internet access for all new Azure virtual machines (VMs). If you’re unprepared, this could cause unexpected disruptions, especially for dynamic workloads.
Here’s what you need to know:
🔹 Why the change? It’s all about security—aligning with Zero Trust principles and reducing risks.
🔹 What does this mean for you? New VMs will need an explicit method for outbound connectivity, so no more automatic access.
🔹 How do you prepare? Audit your current VMs, review dependencies, and explore your options, from Azure NAT Gateway to Aviatrix Distributed Cloud Firewall (DCF) for secure, scalable internet access.
This is more than just a technical update; it’s an opportunity to future-proof your cloud strategy.
