Upgrade to Standard SKU Public IPs in Azure by September 30, 2025.

admin

This email is not about free IPs being gone, but rather it's informing you that the Basic SKU public IP address will be discontinued by September 30th, 2025. This means that after this date, you won't be able to create new public IP addresses unless you upgrade to the Standard SKU. The Standard SKU offers improved functionality, including access to various other Azure products such as standard load balancers, Azure firewalls, and NAT gateways. The default security settings will be enforced if any of your basic SKU public IP addresses are deployed in Azure cloud services (external support), which will not affect these deployments and no further action is required for them. It also mentions that technical support or creating a support request will be necessary for those who need assistance with the upgrade process.
