Your Azure Single URL Ping Tests are About to Get Expensive

Read Original

Microsoft is retiring Azure's free Classic Ping Tests (Single URL Ping Tests) on 30 September 2026, forcing a migration to paid Standard Web Tests. This article explains the retirement, details the significant potential cost increase (with a client example showing a jump from £23 to ~£1916 per month), and provides a KQL query to estimate your own cost impact. It also covers the migration process to Standard Web Tests, which offer more features but are billed per execution.
