🚨🌩️ Azure Change alert
Implicit outbound internet access for VMs is being retired, no more “mystery egress” in Azure
🔧 What’s happening:
•
#Azure VMs will no longer get default outbound Internet access
• New VNets → private by default
• You must explicitly configure egress (NAT Gateway, LB outbound, Firewall, Public IP)
⚠️ Risks:
• Breaks infra relying on “free” outbound
• IaC using old defaults may fail
• Blind-spot egress paths disappear
🛡️ Security win:
• Aligns w/ Zero Trust
• More control over IPs, logging, packet inspection
• Better egress governance threat monitoring
✅ Action:
• Audit VNets/subnets for default outbound
• Add explicit NAT/firewall rules
• Update Terraform/ARM/Bicep
• Test workloads needing updates/telemetry
