Both Standard and Premium Firewall SKUs are available in the new public regions. Firewall Policy support is planned to release shortly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"azure-firewall-premium-sku-support-for-self-signed-certificates\">Azure Firewall Premium SKU support for self-signed certificates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For non-production deployments, you can use the Azure Firewall Premium certification auto-generation mechanism, which automatically creates for you the following three resources, ties them together, and sets up transport layer security (TLS) inspection with a single click of a button:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">Managed Identity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">Key Vault.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">Self-signed intermediate CA certificate.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/09817176-d8a2-414b-a8c9-c40cf174e943.webp\" alt=\"An image of Azure Firewall Premium SKU with a drop down menu for the new auto-generated certification mechanism.\" title=\"Azure Firewall Premium SKU support for self-signed certificates\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"secure-hub-now-supports-availability-zones\">Secure Hub now supports Availability Zones<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With Availability Zones, your availability increases to 99.99 percent uptime. A <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/azure\/firewall-manager\/secured-virtual-hub\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">secured virtual hub<\/a> can now be configured during deployment to span multiple Availability Zones for increased availability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/b8855d6f-4ec0-4a54-a44d-28ff39e76617.webp\" alt=\"An image of creating a new secured virtual hub with a new option to include Availability Zones.\" title=\"Secure Hub now supports Availability Zones\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"deploy-azure-firewall-without-public-ip-in-forced-tunnel-mode\">Deploy Azure Firewall without public IP in Forced Tunnel mode<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Azure Firewall service requires public IP for its operational purposes. While secure, some deployments don\u2019t prefer exposing public IP directly to the internet. In such cases, customers can deploy Azure Firewall in Forced Tunnel mode. This configuration creates a management NIC which is used by Azure Firewall for its operations. The Tenant Datapath network can be configured without a public IP, and internet traffic can be forced tunneled to another Firewall or completely blocked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Note that Forced Tunnel mode cannot be configured at Run Time. You can either redeploy the Firewall or use the <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/azure\/firewall\/firewall-faq#how-can-i-stop-and-start-azure-firewall\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stop and start facility<\/a> to reconfigure existing Azure Firewalls in Forced Tunnel mode. Secure Hub Firewalls are always deployed in Forced Tunnel mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\"
