I want to create around 10 Azure Functions which integrate with our SharePoint lists/libraries. now i will create them based on version 6.0 LTS, as follow:- User's image

now as i know that .net 6.0 will reach its end of life on november 2024.. so will our azure functions need to be upgraded to the latest version (.net 8) after November 2024? second question, is there a point of time in the future where our Azure function will stop working if they have not been upgraded? Thanks

    @john john Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A, apologize for any inconvenience caused on this.

    • Yes, you need to upgrade your application to latest versions of specific runtime (.NET 8) once .NET 6 has reached to End of life.
    • Your applications will continue to run but you won't be eligible for new features, security patches, and performance optimizations until you upgrade them to a supported language version.
    • For more information, refer to this Language runtime support policy documentation.

    Feel free to reach back to me if you have any further questions on this.
