What breaks
Azure Batch follows the Azure retirement dates for NVv3-series and NVv4-series VM support in Batch pools. After the retirement date, new Batch pools that specify the NVv3 or NVv4-series VM family cannot be created. Existing pools with NVv3 or NVv4-series VMs can no longer scale out and are subject to forced resize to zero nodes. The affected sizes are Standard_NV12s_v3, Standard_NV12hs_v3, Standard_NV24s_v3, Standard_NV24ms_v3, Standard_NV32ms_v3 and Standard_NV48s_v3 (NVv3), and Standard_NV4as_v4, Standard_NV4ahs_v4, Standard_NV8as_v4, Standard_NV8ahs_v4, Standard_NV16as_v4, Standard_NV16ahs_v4, Standard_NV32as_v4 and Standard_NV32ahs_v4 (NVv4).
