Retirement: Migrate to dedicated VM for your compute clusters

On September 30, 2025, Low-Priority VM will reach end of life. However, you will continue to be supported on Azure Machine Learning until March 31, 2026.  

To ensure that your clusters are not automatically scaled down it is recommended to migrate to dedicated VMs before that date.  

After March 31, 2026, you'll not be able to use your clusters with low-priority VM.  

Required action  

To ensure you're using a supported cluster, you can recreate your low-priority VM clusters with dedicated VM before March 31, 2026.
