On 15 March 2027, the Application Gateway WAF v2 Configuration will be retired. To continue using this service, switch to the Application Gateway WAF v2 Policy before the retirement date. The WAF Policy offers the same features as the Configuration, plus additional security enhancements and new features at no extra cost. You can migrate seamlessly from WAF Configuration to WAF Policy without any downtime. We recommend that you make the transition before the retirement date to take advantage of the advanced features, higher scale, better performance, and the ability to share the same WAF policy across multiple gateways, listeners, and URL paths.
Required action
From now through 15 March 2027, you can continue to use Application Gateway WAF v2 Configuration, or transition to Application Gateway WAF v2 – WAF Policy before 15 March 2027. After 15 March 2025, Application Gateway WAF v2 Configuration will no longer be supported, to avoid service disruptions, we recommend you follow these migration instructions as soon as possible.
