- Extended Support for SQL Server 2012/2012 R2 ended July 12, 2022
- Extended Support for Windows Server 2012/2012 R2 ended October 10, 2023
End of Support Options
- Modernize with Azure to a PaaS platform or Windows Server 2022 and SQL Server 2022 to stay up-to-date and avoid end of support
- Migrate to Azure and run securely with free Extended Security Updates and save more with Azure Hybrid Benefit.
End of support means the end of security updates, which may leave your business exposed to security risks and compliance concerns.
Modernize with Azure
Modernize to a PaaS platform such as Azure SQL Managed Instance or Azure App Service to always stay up-to-date, or upgrade to the latest version in Azure. With a PaaS platform, you can fully offload management tasks in the cloud, so teams can focus on delivering innovative apps and experiences for their businesses.
Furthermore, only Microsoft allows you to save significantly on the cost VMs and destinations such as Azure Stack HCI and Azure VMware Solution through Azure Hybrid Benefit.
