Upcoming policy updates will impact Azure App Service managed certificates as of 28 July 2025 – not sure if it applies to me

I have gotten multiple emails about policy updates that will impact certificate renewal. I’ve gone through the email and although our endpoints are publicly accessible we have not ever setup anything with Traffic Manager and do not have a profile. I’m trying to figure out if I will be impacted when renewal happens next month.

While the majority of certificates won’t be impacted, you’ll no longer be able to create or renew certificates as of 28 July 2025 if:

  • Your app is only accessible privately via IP restrictions, private endpoints, or any other method that restricts public access. Public accessibility will be required. 
  • Your app uses nested or external endpoints. Only Azure endpoints using Azure Traffic Manager will be supported. 
  • Your app relies on *.trafficmanager.net domains. Traffic Manager domain certificates will no longer be supported. 
    If any of the scenarios above apply to you, you’ll need to update your secure sockets layer (SSL) certificate management approach before your current certificate expires.

My app uses Azure endpoints with public endpoints. However, we are not using Azure Traffic Manager. Does this mean that we will be required to use Traffic Manager? This article seems vague.
