Description

Enabling HTTP/2 for Azure Function Apps improves security and performance by providing better encryption and more efficient use of network resources compared to HTTP/1.1. If the http2_enabled attribute is not set to true in the site_config block, as shown below, the Function App defaults to HTTP/1.1, exposing it to potential vulnerabilities such as protocol downgrade attacks and inefficient data transfer:

site_config {
  http2_enabled = true
}

Leaving HTTP/2 disabled can result in degraded application security and responsiveness, making services more vulnerable to exploitation and less performant for end users.
