If you onboarded to Azure Arc-enabled VMware vSphere before **August 21, 2023**, and your VMs were Azure-enabled, you'll encounter the following breaking changes:

- For the VMs with Arc agents, starting from **February 27, 2024**, you'll no longer be able to perform any Azure management service-related operations.
