AMS retirement: Where can I find final updated AVI API set which do not depends on Azure Media Services?

Question

Hi, As per the Azure media service retirement plan, and the below link, https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/updates/videoindexer-2/ azure video indexer API is also supposed to be updated. Microsoft declared (as per the above link) that these newly updated APIs should be available after 15th January 2024, but I don't find them yet. Where can I find the updated set of Azure AI Video Indexer APIs? Aren't they updated yet? Thanks,

Hello @Siddhartha Das Thanks for reaching out to us, it is mostly a type of account related change. The breaking API changes are list by the end of the month but the official document has not been updated, it should be updated before Feb 15th (I will check with product team for more details.) If you have an existing classic account - you need to migrate to ARM-based account, which do not use Azure Media Services.  

• New accounts: As of February 15, all newly created AVI accounts will be non-AMS dependent accounts. You'll no longer be able to create Classic accounts.
• Existing accounts: Existing classic accounts will continue to work through June 30, 2024. AVI will release an updated API version for the non-AMS dependent accounts that doesn’t contain any AMS related parameters. To continue using the account beyond June 30, 2024, classic accounts will have to go through two steps:

1. Connect the account as an ARM-based account. You can connect the accounts already. See Azure AI Video Indexer accounts for instructions.
2. Make the required changes to the AVI account to remove the AMS dependency. If this isn’t done, you won't be able to access the account or use it beyond June 30, 2024.

If you have an existing ARM-based account - you need to make minor API change.  Azure Resource Manager (ARM)-based accounts New accounts: As of February 15, all newly created AVI accounts will be non-AMS dependent accounts. You'll no longer be able to create AMS-dependent accounts. Existing accounts: Existing accounts will continue to work through June 30, 2024. To continue using the account beyond June 30, customers must go through the process to convert their account to a non-AMS dependent account. If you don’t convert your account to a non-AMS dependent account, you won't be able to access the account or use it beyond June 30. API changes Between February 15 to June 30, 2024, AVI will support both existing data and control plane APIs as well as the updated APIs that exclude all AMS related parameters. New AVI accounts as well as existing AVI accounts that have completed the steps to remove all AMS dependencies will only use the updated APIs that will exclude all AMS related parameters. On July 1, 2024, code using APIs with AMS parameters will no longer be supported. This applies to both control plane and data plane operations. Breaking changes - please refer to the document - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-video-indexer/azure-video-indexer-azure-media-services-retirement-announcement#breaking-api-changes I hope this helps.
