### Description{% #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.

## Compliant Code Examples{% #compliant-code-examples %}

```terraform
resource "azurerm_function_app" "negative" {
  name                       = "test-azure-functions"
  location                   = azurerm_resource_group.example.location
  resource_group_name        = azurerm_resource_group.example.name
  app_service_plan_id        = azurerm_app_service_plan.example.id
  storage_account_name       = azurerm_storage_account.example.name
  storage_account_access_key = azurerm_storage_account.example.primary_access_key

  site_config {
    dotnet_framework_version = "v4.0"
    scm_type                 = "LocalGit"
    min_tls_version = 1.2
    http2_enabled = true
  }
}
```
