Frequently asked questions
What does “closed to new customers” mean?
The provider no longer lets new accounts or projects start using the service, but customers who already use it keep running for now. It usually comes before an end-of-support date, so treat it as a signal to plan a move rather than as an immediate shutdown.
How is this page kept up to date?
Each entry is written from the provider's own announcement and links to it. The names and dates were last checked on 23 October 2026. Providers change things often, so always confirm on the linked source before you decide.
A service I use is listed. What should I do?
Open the source link and read the provider's migration guidance, note the dates, and list the workloads that depend on the service. Then use the service suggester to see the current alternatives across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, and ask for a review if the move is large.
Can I get these updates in a feed?
Yes. Add the Atom feed to any feed reader. The feed lists every change on this page and is refreshed whenever the page is.
Is CloudBrum part of AWS, Microsoft or Google?
No. CloudBrum is an independent website. Names and logos belong to their owners.
Is a service you depend on on this list?
