Mesage in Azure Portal "Classic IaaS Machines are now deprecated and will retire on march 1, 2023"

Question

Hi

Got a message in Azure Portal "Classic IaaS Machines are now deprecated and will retire on march 1, 2023"

But I got a mail from Microsoft classic Machines functionality will be fully retired on September 1, 2023

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/classic-vm-deprecation

Does it mean Classic VM no longer access from March 1 2023 or from September 1, 2023 ?

Thank you

Lalith

Hi @Lalith Jayantha

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Q&A platform. Happy to answer your question.

Earlier announced date was for retirement of classic VMs was March 1st 2023. Classic VMs will be fully retired from September 1st 2023 as per the document

• On September 1, 2023, customers will no longer be able to start IaaS VMs by using ASM. Any that are still running or allocated will be stopped and deallocated.
• On September 1, 2023, subscriptions that are not migrated to Azure Resource Manager will be informed regarding timelines for deleting any remaining VMs (classic).

Please note, the banner will be updated in the portal in case of any changes in the announcement dates.

Hope this helps!
