Generally Available: Layer 7 policy with Advanced Container Networking Services (ACNS) for AKS

To address the growing need for granular traffic control in microservices architectures, Azure Container Networking Services now offers Layer 7 Policy as a generally available feature. This capability empowers customers to enforce fine-grained traffic controls at the application layer, supporting protocols such as HTTP, HTTPS, gRPC, and Kafka. By bridging gaps in zero-trust enforcement and microservice isolation, Layer 7 Policy enhances security posture, provides deeper traffic visibility, and simplifies policy management, all without compromising performance.
