Detect affected Azure Resources from Service Retirement with Azure Advisor
Hi All,
Azure Advisor is a personalized cloud consultant that helps you follow best practices and optimize your Azure deployments. It analyzes your resource configuration and usage telemetry, then recommends solutions based on that data.
I recently detected that there is a Workbook in Azure Advisor that shows affected Resources from a Service Retirement
In Azure Advisor click on Workbooks
Select the Workbook “Service Retirement (Preview)”
You will see a List of Service Retirement Notices and on the bottom the affected Resources in your Azure Subscriptions
Upgrade Public IP SKU
In my case it’s about the Basic SKU of public IP’s that will be retired
On September 30, 2025, Basic SKU public IPs will be retired. For more information, see the official announcement. If you are currently using Basic SKU public IPs, make sure to upgrade to Standard SKU public IPs prior to the retirement date.
On the Public IP the SKU is “Basic” and you have a Banner to upgrade to “Standard” SKU
If you click it, it informs you that you need to have a static IP and it must be disassociated from any other Resources
Let’s disassociate the Public IP from the NIC
Make sure the IP is set to Static
Now it’s possible to upgrade the SKU to standard
A Dialog informs you that you can’t revert this change
Afterwards you need to associate the Public IP back to the NIC
Upgrade of the SKU of the Public IP Resource has been completed
After i did that to all of the Public IP’s i can’t see any more any affected Resources in Azure Advisort
Summary
It’s a good idea to regularly check if you have affected Resources that are in the Scope of a Service Retirement.
