Azure
Batch Support for select AlmaLinux Marketplace images Ending
Summary
Azure Batch will retire support for specific Marketplace images from the almalinux publisher as these images will be deprecated after December 29, 2024. If your workload utilizes Batch pools based on affected Marketplace images, then you will need to take action. Please migrate your workload to a publisher supported Marketplace image. After December 29, 2024, these Marketplace images will no longer be available. Afterwards, create pool and resize up operations for associated pools may fail. Existing pools may be subject to forced scale in to zero nodes at any point after this date. Customers who continue to use these pools past the indicated Batch support End of Life will be subject to potential security risks.
