Azure Orchestration Workflow Expiry Date

Question

Azure Orchestration Workflow Expiry Date

Yin, Sue 40

For Orchestration Workflow in Language Studio, the supported training config version is 2022-09-01 from Model Lifecycle article. And this is the only training config version I can select to train orchestration workflow in language studio, I can only select 2022-05-01 which is set as latest one.

With this training version, the expiry date of model will be 2026-04-30. Do we have any plan to release a new training config version? Or does it mean my orchestration model will be expired directly after 2026-04-30? How we should handle this?

Appreciate your suggestions, thank you.

@Anshika Varshney Thanks for sharing all the details. As there is no other training config version except for 2022-05-01, I cannot re-train and re-deploy to refresh the expiry date. Do you know if we will have any new training config versions later before 2026-04-30?

Hi Yin, Sue,

You’re right currently 2022-05-01 is the only available training configuration, so there’s no way to retrain today just to refresh the expiry date.

That said, based on past Azure AI Language Service lifecycle practices, new training configuration versions are usually released well before an existing one reaches its deployment expiration. The goal is to ensure customers have enough time to retrain and redeploy without disruption.

While there’s no publicly confirmed date yet for the next orchestration workflow training config, it’s expected to be available ahead of the 2026-04-30 expiry.

I hope this has been helpful! Thankyou!

@Anshika Varshney Really appreciate all the details. That's helpful.

I will monitor it later next year before the expiry date to ensure it will not be impacted. Thank you!

Hi Yin, Sue,

Thanks for bringing this up. This behavior is expected and is related to the Azure AI Language Service model lifecycle, not an issue with your orchestration workflow itself.

The expiry date shown in Language Studio corresponds to the training configuration version used by your orchestration workflow (for example, 2022-09-01). Each training configuration has a defined lifecycle that includes a training expiration date and a deployment expiration date.

Once the training configuration expires, you will no longer be able to train or retrain models using that configuration version. However, any model that was already trained and deployed can continue running until the deployment expiration date.

When the deployment expiration date is reached, the deployed orchestration workflow will stop serving predictions unless you retrain the model using a newer supported configuration and redeploy it.

To avoid disruption, it’s recommended to monitor new training configuration versions, retrain your orchestration workflow with the latest supported version before expiration, and then redeploy it. This will refresh the lifecycle dates and keep your workflow operational.

In short: the workflow isn’t being removed automatically the expiry simply indicates when you’ll need to update and redeploy using a newer model configuration to continue using the service.

Hope this helps clarify things! Please let me know if there are any remaining questions or additional details, I can help with, I’ll be glad to provide further clarification or guidance.

Thankyou!
