RETIREMENT

Retirement: Azure API Management STV1 compute platform is retired as of August 31, 2024

Published date: Sep 05, 2024

In August 2021, Azure announced that the retirement of Cloud Services (classic) would happen on August 31, 2024. As Azure API Management stv1 compute platform runs on Cloud Services (classic), we announced that they would retire on the same date. Now that we have passed that date, decommissioning of the stv1 hardware has begun, and this may affect the availability and performance of your instances hosted on the stv1.  

Starting September 1, 2024, the Service Level Agreement (SLA) and Service Credits will no longer apply to any stv1 compute instances that remain in production.

Customers must complete migration to the Azure API Management stv2 compute platform immediately. If you do not complete the migration, your API Management stv1 instances will be automatically migrated, which may result in downtime. We will automatically migrate all remaining stv1 service instances to the stv2 compute platform starting September 1, 2024. All affected customers will be notified of the upcoming automatic migration one week in advance. Please note that the automatic migration may cause downtime for your upstream API consumers. 

Required action

To avoid service disruption, please follow the steps to migrate all your existing instances hosted on the stv1 compute platform to the stv2 compute platform as soon as possible.
