Azure Batch Certificates will be retired on 29 February 2024

As part of our efforts to modernise Batch to use the latest standard and secure Azure technologies and to improve composability with other offerings in the Azure ecosystem, we’ll retire Batch Certificates on **29 February 2024**. Please transition to [Azure Key Vault](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/key-vault/general/best-practices) as soon as possible to more quickly realise the security and composability benefits. **Required Action** Follow these [steps](https://aka.ms/batchcertificatesmigration) to transition using Azure Key Vault **before 29 February 2024.** After that, the Certificate functionality may cease to work properly and requests to create and/or resize pools with certificates will be rejected. **Help and Support** If you have any questions, get answers from community experts in [Microsoft Q&A](https://aka.ms/batchmicrosoftqna). If you have a support plan and you need technical help, please create a [support request](https://ms.portal.azure.com/#view/Microsoft%5FAzure%5FSupport/HelpAndSupportBlade/~/overview). * Batch * Features * Retirements * [ Batch](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/services/batch/)
