Hi,
So two major components of Cloud Services (extended support) are scheduled for deprecation in September 2025.
Load Balancer (Basic SKU)
IP Address (Basic SKU)
As far as I understand existing deployments of Cloud Services won't be affected.
But what about new deployments for Cloud Services? Does it mean that Cloud Services (extended support) are going to be deprecated too? Since Load Balancer (Standard) is not supported for them
Thanks!

Juan Manuel Cabello Martinez 0 Reputation points2025-04-04T13:51:55.7866667+00:00 es una autentica locura... y el tipo de migracion que proponen vale para 3 formularios, pero no para 300. Hay probabilidades de que abandone el uso de los sistemas cloud de Azure, pues sin ese saas, no me aporta ventajas sustanciales a tener una maquina virtual en azure o n un hoster...o incluso on-prem...para algunos casos

On confirmation with the internal team, deprecation of Load Balancer (Basic SKU) and IP Address (Basic SKU) doesn't imply that Cloud Services (extended support) is going to be deprecated.

Anonymous2024-11-19T14:43:57.56+00:00 That is nice to know, that cloud service extended is not to be deprecated right now. However, as for our scripting, we deploy the Microsoft.Network/publicIPAddresses first and the cloud service in a separate deployment (I guess that is as it should be). If Basic SKU for the publicIPAddresses is gone, can I then not create those going forward, then how do I deploy new environments?
Trying to do Microsoft.Network/publicIPAddresses deployment with Standard SKU, then a Microsoft.Compute/cloudServices afterwards fail with "Status Message: Standard public IP not supported for cloud services. (Code:StandardPublicIPAddressNotSupportedCloudService)".

Will Cloud Services (extended support) still work? Will retired services upgrade automatically?
Or if some adjustemts need to be made, what are the steps that need to be taken?Thanks!

Dennis Sheen 0 Reputation points2024-11-24T20:04:01.38+00:00 Just bumping this as in our test site we have upgraded the IP, but now cannot deploy the site with the "Publish (Extended support)" option as it gives variations of the error.
"Detail: Standard public IP not supported for cloud services."
@Sabina Jurek @Anonymous did you figure out the
"Or if some adjustments need to be made, what are the steps that need to be taken?" item?
