Support is August 27, 2027. HPC Pack is now entering a one-year retirement
period. Microsoft will provide
limited, retirement-only support during this period. The scope of this support
is defined below so customers know what to expect.
In scope until End of
Support:
• Security/CVE response and necessary security updates.
• Guidance from existing documentation and validated
configurations.
• Assistance with supported components and documented
functionality.
• Case-by-case evaluation of long-term support options where
available.
Out of scope:
• Non-security fixes or product improvements.
• New features, custom code, or design changes.
• Validation of new operating systems, hardware,
dependencies, architectures, or integrations.
• New product investigation or documentation.
• Migration planning, execution, or consulting.
• Unsupported configurations.
After August 27, 2027, HPC Pack will receive no updates,
fixes, or technical support. Existing deployments will remain operational but
unsupported.
Required action
Begin assessing and transitioning workloads now. Consider
Azure Batch for managed parallel and HPC scheduling, or another appropriate
Azure service. No alternative guarantees one-to-one feature parity. Engage your
Microsoft account team or Cloud Solution Architect for planning.
