Upgrade plan for Azure Data Factory connectors
This article describes future upgrades for some connectors of Azure Data Factory.
Note
"Deprecated" means we intend to remove the connector from a future release. Unless they are in Preview, connectors remain fully supported until they are officially deprecated. This deprecation notification can span a few months or longer. After removal, the connector will no longer work. This notice is to allow you sufficient time to plan and update your code before the connector is deprecated.

Release stages and support
This section describes the different release stages and support for each stage.
| Release stage | Notes |
|---|---|
| End of Support announcement | Before the end of the lifecycle at any stage, an end of support announcement is performed. Support Service Level Agreements (SLAs) are applicable for End of Support announced connectors, but all customers must upgrade to a new version of the connector no later than the End of Support date. During this stage, the existing connectors function as expected, but objects such as linked service can be created only on the new version of the connector. |
| End of Support | At this stage, the connector is considered as deprecated, and no longer supported. Your pipeline will not fail due to the deprecation but with below cautions: • No plan to fix bugs. • No plan to add any new features. If necessary due to outstanding security issues, or other factors, Microsoft might expedite moving into the final disabled stage at any time, at Microsoft's discretion. |
| Disabled | All pipelines that are running on legacy version connectors will no longer be able to execute. |
