Azure Spring Cloud is now Azure Spring Apps

Since 2019, we’ve expanded the capabilities of Azure Spring Cloud, including the Enterprise tier we announced in preview at SpringOne in 2021.  Azure Spring Cloud is a fully featured platform for all types of Spring applications, and to better reflect this we’re now calling the service Azure Spring Apps. 

We’ve created new versions for Azure CLI, as well as new plugins for Maven, IntelliJ and VS Code. Existing versions will continue to operate in deprecation mode.  

You’ll see this change is already reflected in the Azure portal, Azure CLI, API, Azure marketplace, and VMware Tanzu product descriptions.  
The name has already been updated in Microsoft Docs, but you will continue to see the old name in some places for a while as we work to update assets such as screenshots, videos, and diagrams. 

Changes in the Azure billing meter description, Powershell, Github actions, Azure DevOps task and Nubesgen will take place in upcoming weeks.  

As introducing the name change in Terraform unavoidably interrupts existing behavior, we’re still in the process of evaluating whether we’ll change the name in Terraform.  

Action recommended 

1. Upgrade to the new version of Azure CLI with

   az extension add -n spring

   You can optionally remove the old extension using 

   az extension remove -n spring-cloud 

2. Upgrade plugins for Maven , IntelliJ and VS Code.
