It's getting awfully close to the September 30 deadline given I have to arrange outages and go through change controls.
When am I going to be able to do this?

Hi Nick,
They are supposed to make announcement by June 30th. It looks like retirement has been pushed back to early 2026.

Thanks TP,
I appreciate you finding this.
It would be nice if inbetween increasing everyone's costs, Microsoft updated their own documentation (assumedely with Copilot, so it shouldn't take long).
The latest update published today states, in regards to Basic SKU VPN Gateway:
- Your actual IP address will not change, and connectivity will not be interrupted.
- An automated capability to remove the Basic public IP from your gateway will be available in Sept/Oct 2025
- Deprecation timeline of Basic IP for all VPN Gateways is moved from Sep 2025 to end of Jan 2026
- Because Microsoft is retiring Basic public IP resources, we’re updating the Basic VPN Gateway construct. You’ll see the Basic public IP reference as an attribute on your virtual network gateway.
- If you have scripts, ARM templates, or monitoring solutions that reference the Basic public IP resource, update them to use the IP address property of the virtual network gateway instead.
No action needed at this time. I just wanted to give you latest info.
