.NET 6 In-process worker model

Question

I have Azure Function Apps running on .NET 6 (LTS) In-process worker model. There is a service health advisory released from Microsoft that they will end the support of .NET 6 on Azure Function from 12th November 2024 onwards. Also,there is one more Microsoft documentation where they mentioned In-process worker model will be retired on 2026. Can someone please tell me what will going to happen on 12th November 2024, did my Function Apps running on .NET 6 in-process model will also get impacted and needs to be upgraded in .NET 8 isolated model or i have no actions to perform till 2026??

Answer 1

@Chakraborty, Shubham Thanks for reaching out. Support ends for the in-process model on November 10, 2026. For more information, see this support announcement. For continued full support, you should migrate your apps to the isolated worker model.

This means that after November 12, 2024, Microsoft will no longer provide support for .NET 6 on Azure Functions. However, your Function Apps running on .NET 6 in-process model will continue to run, but you will not receive any updates or support from Microsoft.
