Since launching the Azure portal in December 2015, we’ve continuously added functionality and migrated services from the original Azure classic portal. Today, the Azure portal is a hub for all Azure services and offers a rich management experience with capabilities such as dashboards for pinning resources, intelligent search for finding resources, Cloud Shell and Azure Resource Manager for automation, and tagging for resource management.
To provide a single, streamlined experience for Azure portal users, we will be sunsetting the Azure classic portal on January 8, 2018.
Current Azure classic portal users do not need to take any action—all our services and your resources will be available in the Azure portal. You can read about the latest features in the documentation. We’d love to hear from you if you have any questions or feedback.
