What does this PR do?
[Provide a clear, concise description of the changes]Users unfamiliar with platform-managed TLS were confused by the server listening on HTTP, interpreting it as a missing feature or misconfiguration rather than an intentional design. This section clarifies the architecture, explains how TLS is handled across Azure hosting platforms, and covers the responsibilities of users self-hosting outside Azure.
