Public Preview: Disable HTTP proxy
The HTTP proxy feature adds HTTP proxy support to AKS clusters, exposing a straightforward interface that you can use to secure AKS-required network traffic in proxy-dependent environments. With this feature, both AKS nodes and pods are configured to use the HTTP proxy. This feature also enables installation of a trusted certificate authority onto the nodes as part of bootstrapping a cluster.
You can now disable the HTTP proxy feature on existing AKS clusters. When creating a cluster, HTTP proxy is enabled by default. Once you disable HTTP proxy on a cluster, the proxy configuration is saved in the database but the proxy variables are removed from the pods and nodes.
