Major Azure VM Change: Default Outbound Internet Access Retirement!
A big change is coming to Microsoft Azure! In this video, we explore the upcoming retirement of default outbound internet access for Azure Virtual Machines, effective September 2025. If you're managing cloud virtual machines or deploying new compute resources, this change will impact how your VMs access the internet. Learn what this means for your Azure environment and how to prepare by configuring explicit internet access with options like NAT gateways, firewalls, public IP addresses, and Azure load balancers. Stick around for a live demo in the Azure Portal where we'll configure a NAT gateway to ensure secure, managed internet access for your VMs. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell for more Azure updates!
