Description

Azure Application Gateway introduces two new PowerShell scripts to simplify migration from V1 (Standard or WAF) to V2 (Standard_V2 or WAF_V2) services.  

As V1 SKUs’ is scheduled to retire by April 2026, we advise migrating early and take advantage of Application Gateway V2’s superior performance, scalability, monitoring, and unique features. 

Enhanced cloning script:  

  • Automates configuration replication from an existing V1 gateway to a new V2 gateway.  
  • Eliminates manual entry of front-end TLS and trusted root certificates. 
  • Supports creation of private-only V2 gateways. 

Public IP retention script: 

Enables retention of existing V1 public IP address with V2 gateway.
