Description

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. The feature also enables installation of a trusted certificate authority onto the nodes as part of bootstrapping a cluster. 

 

HTTP Proxy can now be enabled on an existing cluster by updating the cluster to add an HTTP Proxy configuration. AKS will automatically reimage all node pools in the cluster when you update the proxy configuration on your cluster using the az aks update command. You can use Pod Disruption Budgets (PDBs) to safeguard disruption to critical pods during reimage.
