Azure Deployment
Environments will retire on February 22, 2027. Beginning on September
14, 2026, Azure Deployment Environments will begin the closing-down
process. After retirement, the service will no longer be available.
To help avoid disruption, we recommend that you begin
assessing your current usage and planning your transition now. Review the
environments, templates, and workflows in your organization that depend on
Azure Deployment Environments and identify the replacement approach that best
supports your requirements.
What this means for you
- You
should review all current Azure Deployment Environments usage across
subscriptions, projects, templates, and deployment workflows.
- You
should identify an alternative approach for environment provisioning and
developer self-service before the retirement date.
- You
should begin validating your migration plan as early as possible to minimize
operational and development impact.
Recommended action
- Inventory
your current environments, templates, catalogs, and provisioning workflows.
- Determine
the target platform or service that will replace Azure Deployment Environments
for your organization.
- Test
your migration path, including governance, access control,
infrastructure-as-code compatibility, and developer workflow readiness.
- Communicate
internal timelines to platform engineering teams, developers, and
administrators.
