Azure Data Share will be retired on November 12, 2029

Azure Data Share will retire on November 12, 2029. Before that date, transition your data sharing workloads to Microsoft Fabric, which offers External data sharing, Cross tenant delegated shortcuts and IQ share or an appropriate data-source-specific sharing option. This change affects data providers, recipients, and applications that use Azure Data Share for snapshot-based or in-place sharing.

• Assess a transition path for each workload. Options include:
• Fabric external data sharing for supported OneLake data.
• Azure Data Factory or Fabric Data Factory pipelines for supported copies
• Azure SQL Database data virtualization (preview) for read-only file queries. File queries do not deliver snapshots or replace sharing lifecycle management.
• These are not one-to-one replacements, and no automatic migration path is established.
• Inventory your shares, subscriptions, schedules, integrations, and dependencies.
• Coordinate with providers and recipients.
• Validate access, networking, data completeness, refresh behavior, monitoring, and recovery before cutover. Do not delete or disable production Azure Data Share resources before testing is complete. Continue using existing Azure support channels for supported incidents until November 12, 2029. Engage your Microsoft account team for transition planning as needed.
