Azure Applicatin Gateway Standard V1 to WAF V2 directly

Question

Hi Experts,

I have few existing applications on Standards V1 and we would like to migrate to WAF V2. Is there any way to directly move to WAF V2.

Hello @CloudArch ,

There is no direct approach to migrate Application gateway standard V1 SKU to Application gateway WAF V2.
If you want to migrate from v1 to v2, follow the steps in this article which provides an Azure PowerShell script that does the following:

1. Creates a new Standard_v2 or WAF_v2 gateway in a virtual network subnet that you specify.
2. Seamlessly copies the configuration associated with the v1 Standard or WAF gateway to the newly created Standard_V2 or WAF_V2 gateway.

But there are a few limitations that you need to refer to.

The second method would be to simply create a new Application gateway WAF V2 from scratch and migrate your applications.

Kindly let us know if the above helps or you need further assistance on this issue.
