 This article explains how to upgrade your Basic SKU public IPs to Standard SKU. Upgrading to Standard public IPs ensures continued support after retirement and [provides enhanced security and availability](#basic-sku-vs-standard-sku) for your workloads.
 ## Steps to complete the upgrade

   | Virtual Machine | Use scripts or manually detach and upgrade public IPs. For standalone virtual machines, you can use the [upgrade script](public-ip-upgrade-vm.md) or for virtual machines in an availability set use [this script](public-ip-upgrade-availability-set.md). |
   | Virtual Machine Scale Sets | [Replace basic SKU instance public IP addresses](/azure/virtual-machine-scale-sets/virtual-machine-scale-sets-networking#public-ipv4-per-virtual-machine) with new standard SKU. |
   | Load Balancer (Basic SKU) | New Load Balancer SKU required. Use the upgrade script [Upgrade Basic Load Balancer to Standard SKU](../../load-balancer/upgrade-basic-standard-with-powershell.md) to upgrade to Standard Load Balancer. |
-  | VPN Gateway (using Basic IPs) | VPN Gateway migration is required. All non-AZ SKUs become AZ SKUs. Follow the [VPN Gateway migration guidance](../../vpn-gateway/basic-public-ip-migrate-howto.md) to upgrade to Standard SKU public IPs. |

+  | Application Gateway (v1 SKU) | New AppGW SKU required. Use this [migration script to migrate from v1 to v2](../../application-gateway/migrate-v1-v2.md). The Basic SKU public IP is scheduled to be retired by September 2025; however, Basic IP resources linked to Application Gateway V1 deployments will not be affected until V1 Application Gateway itself is retired. For more details, please see [here](/azure/application-gateway/retirement-faq#does-the-retirement-of-basic-sku-public-ips-in-september-2025-affect-my-existing-v1-application-gateways). |
   | Azure Databricks (using Basic IPs) | For ephemeral workloads, Standard SKU public IP addresses are automatically deployed as virtual machines (VMs) cycle out through regular usage attrition with new VMs. For long running workloads, we recommended manually [restarting the compute resources](/azure/databricks/compute/clusters-manage#restart) which replaces existing Basic IPs with Standard IPs.  |
