Migrate your classic storage accounts to Azure Resource Manager by 31 August 2024

You're receiving this email because you use classic storage accounts in Azure.

On 31 August 2024, we'll retire classic Azure storage accounts and they'll no longer be accessible. Before that date, you'll need to migrate them to Azure Resource Manager, which provides the same capabilities as well as new features, including:

  • A management layer that simplifies deployment by enabling you to create, update, and delete resources.
  • Resource grouping, which allows you to deploy, monitor, manage, and apply access control policies to resources as a group.

Beginning 1 August 2022, you'll no longer be able to create new classic storage account resources, however, resources created before that date will be supported through 31 August 2024.

Required action

To avoid losing access to your data, review Azure Resource Manager pricing and migrate your classic storage accounts before 31 August 2024.
