"Today is the day Azure Storage stops supporting versions 1.0 and 1.1 of Transport Layer Security (TLS). TLS 1.2 is the new minimum. The change has been a long time coming. Microsoft warned users several years ago that February 3, 2026, was the cut-off date after which the deprecated standards would no longer be supported. The minimum TLS version is enforced at the storage account level."
"The retired standards, TLS 1.0 and 1.1, are, in a very real sense, from a different era of computing. TLS 1.0 dates back to 1999, and 1.1 was published in 2006. Both were deprecated in 2021, years after the 2008 publication of the TLS 1.2 standard. The latest protocol, TLS 1.3, was published in 2018. Microsoft has clung to the deprecated versions of TLS 1.0 and 1.1, primarily for backward compatibility."
Azure Storage stops supporting TLS 1.0 and 1.1 on February 3, 2026, with TLS 1.2 as the new minimum. The minimum TLS version is enforced at the storage account level and applies to hosted services such as Azure Files, Queue Storage, and Table Storage. TLS encrypts HTTPS communications between applications and servers to protect storage data in transit. TLS 1.0 originated in 1999 and 1.1 in 2006; both were deprecated in 2021. Microsoft delayed earlier retirement dates multiple times but has not signaled further extensions. Upgrading to TLS 1.2 improves speed, security, and regulatory compliance, but legacy systems pose migration challenges.
