Hi Adam,

The message you are seeing is normal.

What SKU is your current VPN Gateway? This will help me give you more specific advice. The migration procedure that will allow you to upgrade your Public IP to Standard SKU varies depending on your VPN Gateway SKU.

1. If your VPN Gateway SKU is Basic, the migration approach for Basic SKU VPN Gateway has not been published. The current timeline is for it to be published by July 30, 2025. There is no action needed yet.

Screenshot excerpt from documentation below:

2. If your VPN SKU is not Basic, please navigate to your VPN Gateway in the portal, click Settings -- Configuration to see if you have Migrate tab. If you have Migrate tab, please follow instructions in article below:

If Migrate tab is not there, it means the migration functionality hasn't rolled out to the region yet. Please see article below for more detailed information on timelines:

TP,

Thanks for the super prompt response.

The SKU is showing "SKU: Basic"

Hope this helps. If I am reading the response correctly, there is no migration path yet?

You checked the SKU of your VPN Gateway, correct? If yes and it is Basic, then there is no action needed yet since the migration path isn't available. They are supposed to release an update by end of this month.

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 if you are on Basic SKU VPN Gateway. I just wanted to give you latest info.
