===== Notification to Ahsay-BIAAS Subscriber - VM Migration Programme =====

=== Posted Date: 2022-February-22 ===

According to Microsoft Azure's policy (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/classic-vm-deprecation), VM created using Azure Resource Manager (ARM, Classic-VM) will be retiring on March 1, 2023.

Ahsay Services Team will be taking the following action in the migration plan:

1. Migrate your Classic-VM instance to Azure Service Manager \\
2. Reinstall New Supported OS ([[public:version_9:start_here:9005_ahsay_software_compatibility_list_scl_for_version_9.1_or_above|Ahsay Software Compatibility List]])

The migration process will be performed in Week 3 of March, 2022 (14-18/March) in Ahsay's schedule.

If you would like to know your eligibility in this migration programme, or to work out the exact timeframe with us, please raise a ticket on Ahsay Partner Portal (https://www.ahsay.com/partners), or reply to the Notification we sent to you earlier (with Mail Subject "[Ahsay] Important news about your BIAAS Instance") before 4/March/2022.

Thank you!

Note: \\
1. Services Downtime is estimated for 3 hours. During the migration, all Ahsay-BIAAS operations will be unavailable. \\
2. Public IP of the VM will be changed after the VM migration. If you are using a custom URL to connect your AhsayACB/AhsayOBM to AhsayCBS, you must update your DNS record afterward.
