Apr 10, 2024Azure Lab Services - Planned Outage - April 19, 2024
Hello Everyone,
On April 19th, 2024, we will be updating our system between 1:00-10:00 pm UTC. Please expect downtime for most common operations like create/ update/ delete labs, start/stop virtual machines etc. The service will be available after the update. We will provide update on this post once the service update is complete. Thank you for your patience.

Why not doing that during weekend nights with low impacted.- SophieRyanCopper Contributor
DJean2024Students might have assignments due on Sunday/Monday. I think Friday is better

Hiagopinathan can you tell us which services will be down?
Will the access to the Labs and the virtual machines be impacted?
We use Azure Labs for educational purposes, and if the virtual machines don't work on the 18th April, then our students won't be able to access their virtual machines and it will have a great impact on our courses.Please let us know as soon as possible.
Best regards.

Hi ruidlh, in order to reduce the impact, the change has been postponed to April 19th instead of April 18th. most common operations like create/ update/ delete labs, start/stop virtual machines etc. will be impacted.- Rob2UCopper Contributor
Please clarify this because 0100 UTC on April 19 is 1900 CDT on April 18 and we will be using these labs for course work. Thanks! agopinathan

What services will be interrupted? Will devices that have schedules within this window remain available or lose connection?
