Migrate your data to Azure managed disks before unmanaged disks are retired on 30 September 2025
You’re receiving this email because you use Azure unmanaged disks.
On 30 September 2025, we’ll retire Azure unmanaged disks. Before that date, you’ll need to migrate any data that’s stored on unmanaged disks to managed disks, which provide additional capabilities including:
- Improved reliability, scalability, and ease of use.
- Simplified storage management.
- Built-in bursting capabilities to cost-effectively scale performance.
After 30 September 2025, any virtual machines that are still using unmanaged disk storage will become unavailable and the storage will be deallocated until the data is moved to a managed disk.
Page blobs will not be affected by this change.
Required action
To avoid service disruptions, review pricing and follow the steps to migrate your Windows or Linux virtual machines to managed disks before 30 September 2025.
