Retirement: Prompt Flow in Azure ML and Foundry

Prompt Flow will be retired from Microsoft Foundry and Azure Machine Learning on April 20, 2027 and replaced by a single, modern orchestration platform: Microsoft Agent Framework. This change unlocks powerful new capabilities, including a unified, future-proof foundation for building intelligent agents and workflows with support for advanced agent architectures.

Key dates:

• April 3, 2026: General Availability (GA) of Microsoft Agent Framework.
• April 20, 2026: Public announcement of Prompt Flow deprecation.
• April 20, 2027: Full retirement of Prompt Flow from Azure ML, Microsoft Foundry, and VS Code.

What you need to do:

For most orchestration scenarios, Microsoft Agent Framework is the recommended migration path, with Microsoft Foundry options to review if you also depend on evaluation or tracing. We recommend a phased migration approach: rebuild key workloads, validate them thoroughly, and move deployments to supported alternatives ahead of retirement.

Why migrate early?

You’ll gain access to richer tooling, improved reliability, and the latest Foundry innovations.
