Hi all,
Microsoft has been sending these retirement notices for their Basi SKU Public IP addresses, which will be retired on September 30th, 2025:
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/updates?id=upgrade-to-standard-sku-public-ip-addresses-in-azure-by-30-september-2025-basic-sku-will-be-retired
I decided to do some research on this to see if any of my clients had Basic IP (I knew one of them had Standard, but wanted to double-check), so I went here for steps on how to check:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-network/ip-services/public-ip-upgrade?tabs=azureportal#upgrade-public-ip-address
-
Sign in to the Azure portal.
-
In the search box at the top of the portal, enter Public IP.
-
In the search results, select Public IP addresses.
-
In Public IP addresses, select myBasicPublicIP or the IP address you want to upgrade.
-
Select the upgrade banner at the top of the overview section in myBasicPublicIP.
To my surprise, I noticed that SPC uses these Basic SKU Public IP addresses to set up the main network for each subscription. Does this mean that these need to be upgraded before September 30th, otherwise they won't work? This could be a big deal. Could anyone at Sage or with a little more knowledge of cloud networking give a little guidance here?
