On 12 November, we received a notice about TLS 1.2 transition for resources that interact with Azure services. Is that only for resources in Azure resource manager, or is it a larger scope than that? How can I find out?

On 12 November, we received a notice about TLS 1.2 transition for resources that interact with Azure services. Is that only for resources in Azure resource manager, or is it a larger scope than that? How can I find out?

The email body was like so:

If you have resources that interact with Azure services and still use TLS 1.1 or earlier, transition them to TLS 1.2 or later by 31 October 2024
You're receiving this email because you're an Azure customer.

To enhance security and provide best-in-class encryption for your data, we'll require interactions with Azure services to be secured using Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.2 or later beginning 31 October 2024, when support for TLS 1.0 and 1.1 will end.

The Microsoft implementation of older TLS versions is not known to be vulnerable, however, TLS 1.2 and later offer improved security with features such as perfect forward secrecy and stronger cipher suites.

Recommended action
To avoid potential service disruptions, confirm that your resources that interact with Azure services are using TLS 1.2 or later. Then:

If they're already exclusively using TLS 1.2 or later, you don't need to take further action.
If they still have a dependency on TLS 1.0 or 1.1, transition them to TLS 1.2 or later by 31 October 2024.
