What breaks

All AV36 SDDCs are retired after 30 Aug 2027, regardless of individual RI expiration dates, to align with the AVS License-included service retirement. On August 31, 2027, these SDDCs are no longer accessible, and Microsoft retains the data for up to 60 days so the customer can retrieve it. Broadcom ends support for the current AV36 VCF version on September 30, 2027, and the AV36 SKU is not compatible with VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9. June 30, 2026 was the last day to buy a 1-year RI for AV36 VCF BYOL.
