Cloud Services (extended support) deprecation

Hi,

So two major components of Cloud Services (extended support) are scheduled for deprecation in September 2025.

Load Balancer (Basic SKU)

https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/updates/azure-basic-load-balancer-will-be-retired-on-30-september-2025-upgrade-to-standard-load-balancer/

IP Address (Basic SKU)

https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/updates/upgrade-to-standard-sku-public-ip-addresses-in-azure-by-30-september-2025-basic-sku-will-be-retired/

As far as I understand existing deployments of Cloud Services won't be affected.

But what about new deployments for Cloud Services? Does it mean that Cloud Services (extended support) are going to be deprecated too? Since Load Balancer (Standard) is not supported for them

    Q: But what about new deployments for Cloud Services? Does it mean that Cloud Services (extended support) are going to be deprecated too? Since Load Balancer (Standard) is not supported for them?

    On confirmation with the internal team, deprecation of Load Balancer (Basic SKU) and IP Address (Basic SKU) doesn't imply that Cloud Services (extended support) is going to be deprecated.

    Hope that addresses your concern.

    If nothing will be done with an exsisting Cloud Services (extended support) what will happen after the retirement of Load Balancer (Basic SKU) and IP Address (Basic SKU)?
    Will Cloud Services (extended support) still work? Will retired services upgrade automatically?
    Or if some adjustemts need to be made, what are the steps that need to be taken?

    Thanks!
