D, Ds, Dv2, Dsv2, and Ls series Azure Virtual Machines will retire on May 1st, 2028. These VMs will no longer be able to be used or purchased after this date.
To ensure any applications and workloads running on these VMs will be operating in the future, you need to migrate your D, Ds, Dv2, Dsv2, and Ls series VMs workloads to a newer VM generation
Three-year
reserved instances for these VMs can also no longer be
purchased or renewed starting on May 1, 2025. One-year reserved VM
instances for these VMs will not be available for purchase or renewal starting
July 1, 2026 (previously May 1, 2027 – learn more here).
If you have a three-year reserved instance contract for these VMs, you’ll still receive your reservation benefit for the remainder of the contract. After that, you’ll be billed at pay-as-you-go rates. To plan for this change and avoid unexpected billing, we recommend reviewing your current reservation orders to identify impacted VMs and their expiration dates.
