## What breaks

The end of support covers all versions of HPC Pack. After the end of support date, HPC Pack receives no updates, fixes, or technical support. Existing deployments remain operational but unsupported. Until that date, Microsoft provides limited, retirement-only support: security updates, guidance from existing documentation, and case-by-case evaluation of long-term support options where available, with no non-security fixes, new features, validation of new operating systems, hardware, dependencies, architectures, or integrations, migration planning or consulting, or unsupported configurations.

## What to do

1. Assess your HPC Pack workloads and begin transitioning them.
2. Consider Azure Batch for managed parallel and HPC scheduling, or another appropriate Azure service. No alternative guarantees one-to-one feature parity.
3. Engage your Microsoft account team or Cloud Solution Architect for planning.
4. Share needs and transition challenges through the [ESU Extend Request](https://forms.cloud.microsoft/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=v4j5cvGGr0GRqy180BHbR0FNZgYky3lJpHzezA6g7ExUOFlFRk1MOU1GU1hGVlRRRkc2UVJBSTBRSi4u) form.

## Replacement

Not stated by vendor.
