About this tag
The sbmp retirement tag covers Microsoft Azure Service Bus guidance for the September 30, 2026 end of SBMP support. Tagged discussions distinguish two remediation paths: applications still communicating over the proprietary SBMP protocol must move to AMQP to avoid losing connectivity, while applications already using AMQP through legacy SDKs may continue operating but require migration for ongoing Microsoft support and updates. Relevant legacy libraries include WindowsAzure.ServiceBus, Microsoft.Azure.ServiceBus, and com.microsoft.azure.servicebus. The recommended planning approach is to identify which workloads use each protocol, test continuity, and assess migration to the supported Azure.Messaging.ServiceBus library according to operational risk.

Teams should validate confirmed...
