When will East US and South Central have Vtap capabilities? The lack of this, is causing delay on new innovation in our security space.

Hello @Marlany Naidoo

Thank you for reaching out to Q&A

I understand that the absence of Azure vTAP capabilities in your target regions is affecting planned security initiatives and delaying innovation efforts.

Based on the latest information available to us, East** US is included in the Azure vTAP rollout and is available for **deployment.

Regarding South** Central US, I could find a product feedback item requesting Azure vTAP availability in that region; however, there is currently no published ETA or committed release timeline **available for South Central US. The request remains under review.

If South Central US support is critical for your security roadmap, we recommend engaging your Microsoft account team and highlighting the business impact so that the feedback can be properly routed and tracked by the product group.

We understand the importance of this capability for your use case and appreciate you bringing this requirement forward. Should any official roadmap updates become available, they will be communicated through the appropriate Microsoft channels.

Please let us know if you would like us to share the currently supported Azure vTAP regions or discuss possible interim design alternatives.
