Got a mail from microsoft stating that Azure Functions Service Bus extension v4.x ends on 31 March 2025

Question

Hi, Got a mail from microsoft as below

You're receiving this notice because you're currently using the Azure Functions Service Bus extension v4.x. If you're using this extension indirectly through another service or your Functions app is not managed by you, please disregard this notice. Azure Functions Service Bus extension v4.x. will be retired on 31 March 2025, please transition to Azure Functions Service Bus extension v5.x. by that date.

We are not using “Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.ServiceBus” for which the mail is showing but we are using the below packages WindowsAzure.ServiceBus  Version="5.1.0" Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.ServiceBus  Version="2.3.0" Will the above versions also get affected or these can be as it is?

Answer 1

Hi @Abhijit Rajan,
Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft Q&A platform.

As per the details provided it appears that the retirement only applies to the Azure Functions Service Bus extension v4.x. Since you are using different packages (WindowsAzure.ServiceBus Version="5.1.0" and Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.ServiceBus Version="2.3.0"), which are not the same as the one mentioned in the email (Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.ServiceBus), your current versions should not be affected by the retirement of v4.x.

For your reference, please follow this Links : Document1, Document2.

I hope the above provided information will help you in better understanding and solve your concern, if you have any further queries please feel free to reach out to us.
