I have Azure Front Door Premium connected via Private Link to Container Apps Environment,
but I'm getting "Error 404 - This Container App is stopped or does not exist".
Setup:
- Container Apps Environment: internal-only configuration in West Europe
- Container Apps: 3 apps with internal ingress (all Running)
- AFD Premium: configured with Private Link enabled origins
- Private Link: Approved status
- Origins: configured with internal Container Apps URLs
- Custom domains: configured and validated (www, api, admin subdomains)
What I'm trying to achieve:
- Frontend and API should be publicly accessible via AFD Premium
- Admin panel protected by WAF rules (IP restrictions)
- All Container Apps remain internal (not exposed to internet directly)
- AFD Premium acts as the only public entry point
What I verified:
- Container Apps are running (verified via Azure CLI)
- Private Link connection is Approved
- AFD origins have correct Private Link configuration
- Custom domains are validated and active
Result:
- Access via AFD custom domains: "Error 404 - Container App stopped or does not exist"
- AFD cannot reach Container Apps despite approved Private Link
Is AFD Premium with Private Link supported for Container Apps with internal ingress? If yes, what configuration is missing?
