You’re receiving this notification because you're associated with one or more Azure subscriptions that use Azure SQL Database using FSV2 offer.
In 2020, we launched FSV2-series as a hardware choice Azure SQL Database, and we’ve been monitoring customer adoption and feedback on this hardware option. Due to limited regional availability of this hardware, we’ll be retiring support for the FSV2-series hardware option for Azure SQL Database on October 1, 2026.
How does this affect me?
Starting On October 1, 2025, customers who haven’t already deployed Azure SQL Database on FSV2-series won’t be able to create new databases on FSV2-series.
Existing Azure SQL Database FSV2-series customers can continue to use the databases until October 1, 2026 but should plan to migrate out of the FSV2-series HW on to other options within Azure SQL Database before then.
After October 1, 2026, Azure SQL Databases running on FSV2-series HW will no longer be supported. Remaining databases running on FSV2-series HW will be migrated to General-purpose tier with similar configurations.
Required action
We recommend transitioning to the Hyperscale premium-series or General-purpose standard-series (Gen5) service tier before October 1, 2026 to maintain comparable performance levels.
