Azure Scheduler Depreciation
Azure Scheduler will be deprecated next year on September 30, 2019! So, this came up as a totally unexpected call from the Azure team which proved to be a total nightmare for cloud users across the globe.
Important
Logic Apps can be placed as an equal alternate for Azure Scheduler. So, users depending on Azure Scheduler can move on to logic Apps for scheduling the necessary workloads and the migration process would only take a couple of minutes.
