Updating Basic Public IP, Basic Load Balancer attached to Classic Cloud Service

Question

We have the following in our Azure Subscription:

1 x Basic Public IP (Dynamic allocation)
1 x Basic Load Balancer (Public IP attached to)
1 x Classic Cloud Service Extended

A deadline for both the Public IP and Load Balancer has been put in place by MS to be upgraded by September this year.

My concern is we upgrade the Load Balancer using the Powershell script found on a MS article (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/load-balancer/upgrade-basic-standard-with-powershell) which in turn should upgrade the existing Public IP and set to a static allocation. But I am not sure if a standard Load Balancer is compatible with our Classic Cloud Service in Extended support.

Can anyone advise or point me in the right direction as how to mitigate this issue.

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thank you for reaching out & I hope you are doing well.

Unfortunately, standard load balancer is not supported for Cloud Services Extended Support (CSES). CSES is a parity offering with Cloud services Classic, which also did not support it. As of now there is no update on this to be supported in future.

However, I would request you to submit this feature to Azure Cloud Services - Feedback Community here.

Also, search and follow feature announcements at Azure updates site here.
