Updated Retirement Notice: Azure Data Catalog will now be retired on 15 May 2024
Published date: April 26, 2024
To enhance data security and comprehensive data management, we have moved up the retirement date of Azure Data Catalog to May 15, 2024. We strongly recommend migrating to Microsoft Purview before this date.
Like Azure Data Catalog, Microsoft Purview is more than just a data catalog; it’s a complete governance platform for data security. We’re committed to ensuring your migration to a secure solution is successful, especially given that your current data catalog offers insights into a large subset of organizational data assets. Swift migration to Purview is crucial for maintaining data security and governance standards.
Microsoft Purview is a fully managed cloud service that facilitates comprehensive data discovery and understanding of your data landscape. With Purview, you can effectively manage and govern your data across on-premises, multi-cloud, and SaaS environments, all while ensuring robust data security measures are in place, presenting a superior alternative to Azure Data Catalog. Additionally, with Microsoft Purview, you can:
- Create a holistic, up-to-date map of your data landscape.
- Drive automated data discovery, sensitive data classification, and end-to-end data lineage.
- Find valuable, trustworthy data through its data catalog.
Required action
All Azure Data Catalog resources will continue to be supported through 15 May 2024. We recommend reviewing the pricing and the steps to transition to Microsoft Purview before 15 May 2024.
