Http2 support for app gateway backend pools

Twan van Beers (NB) 5

We want to deploy a gRPC based webapp but can’t front it with app gateway as that can’t send http2 through to the backend

are there any plans to support this scenario so we can have a scalable https2 based gRPC solution?

@Twan van Beers (NB) ,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thank you for reaching out & I hope you are doing well.

Currently, both Azure Front Door and Application Gateway do not support HTTP2 access to Origin/Backend.

I will check internally if HTTP2 Support is in the Pipeline and get back to you shortly.

Cheers,

Thank you! I did find that a self hosted gateway with API management could perhaps work but at a cost of $3 per hour. It seems odd that front end or app gateway can’t support http 2. It isn’t a particularly new standard…?
