Description


Until now, the host of a liveness or readiness probe of a microservice could be set in the microservice manifest.
To avoid potential security implications, setting the host in manifest probes will be disabled in Q3 2026 for CD versions and in the 2027 annual release. Uploading a microservice that uses the host parameter within the readiness or liveness probe will be rejected.

For testing purposes, the new behavior can already be enabled via a feature toggle core.ms-hosting.no-host-in-probes-in-manifest.

Important
In Q3 2026 for the CD versions and in 2027 for the yearly releases, the new behavior will become mandatory.
