Background

Customers and Partners who deploy Acumatica on a private cloud can host the Acumatica application server and database using their provider of choice. Customer use Amazon (like Acumatica SaaS), Windows Azure, and partner supplied networks.

What is Changing?

Acumatica used to create Azure Configuration Packages to assist with deploying Acumatica to Azure Cloud Services (classic). These packages would accompany the releases as seen below.

In August of 2021 Microsoft announced plans to retire the classic deployment model and replace it. As a result, the Acumatica configuration packages require additional configuration and are no longer the preferred deployment method. Beginning with 2022 R1, Acumatica will no longer create these Azure specific deployment packages. 

Can I still Deploy on Azure?

Yes! We recommend creating a Windows virtual machine in the Azure portal so you can deploy Acumatica just as you would on a local server. But we also have instructions on how to deploy on Azure using the configuration packages from 2021 R2 and earlier.
