#  [ Find your Azure resources nearing end-of-life with the Service Retirement
Workbook ](https://blog.danskingdom.com/Find-your-Azure-resources-nearing-end-
of-life-with-the-Service-Retirement-Workbook/)

__ February 8, 2024  __ 1 minute read

The Azure portal has a Service Retirement Workbook that shows all of the
services you are using which are being retired within the next few years. This
could be things like having to update your apps because Azure no longer
supports TLS 1.0/1.1, old versions of Node.js or .NET, or the retiring of a
service like Classic Cloud Services. This is extremely helpful when your
organization has many teams using a lot of different services, and they need
time to plan the update or migration work into their roadmaps. Shout out to my
colleague Amer Gill for showing me this!

To access the view in the Azure portal, open up the ` Advisor ` , navigate to
` Workbooks ` (or use [ this link
](https://portal.azure.com/#view/Microsoft_Azure_Expert/AdvisorMenuBlade/~/workbooks)
), and open the ` Service Retirement (Preview) ` workbook.

At the top you will see a list of services you are using that are being
retired soon, the date they are being retired, how many of your resources will
be affected, and a link to documentation about the retirement and actions to
take.

Below that is a list of resources that will be affected by the service
retirements you have selected in the list above. This tells you the resources’
subscription, resource group, name, type, location, tags, and a link to
actions to take.

You can also export the results to Excel, making the information easy to share
with others.

Having a single up-to-date view of all the services being retired, which
resources will be affected, and links to documentation on actions that need to
be taken is extremely helpful and convenient. Anybody in the organization is
able to view the workbook, and as teams migrate their resources to newer
services they are removed from the list, giving a realtime view of which
resources still need attention.

**Recommended Action:** Set up a recurring reminder to check this workbook
every month or quarter, so you can stay on top of any upcoming retirements
that may affect you or your organization. Share this information
