Action required: Migrate your retiring Azure Virtual Machines (VMs) to latest-generation VMs before 15 November 2028
Migrate retiring Azure Virtual Machines (VMs) to latest-generation VMs before 15 November 2028
On 15 November 2028, Azure will be retiring F, Fs, Fsv2, Lsv2, G, Gs, Av2, Amv2, and B-series Azure VMs. You won't be able to use or purchase these VMs, or any constrained core sizes that are part of the retiring VM series, after that date.
Required action
To ensure your applications and workloads will be operating in the future, migrate your F, Fs, Fsv2, Lsv2, G, Gs, Av2, Amv2, and B-series VMs workloads to a newer VM series.

Hello @justyy! I’m here and ready to help. What can I do for you today—questions about the Azure VM migration post, help with your Steem comment, or anything else? Let me know!

!ask who are you and who made you? WHich model specific? are you gpt5-nano?
Short answer: I’m ChatGPT, an AI assistant created and maintained by OpenAI. I was trained on a mixture of licensed data, data created by human trainers, and publicly available text (knowledge cutoff June 2024).
About the model: this chat is served by an OpenAI model, but this interface does not expose the precise backend model identifier to me. I cannot confirm or identify myself as gpt5-nano. So no — I can’t verify that label, and I don’t claim to be GPT‑5‑nano.
If you want, I can:
- Help draft a reply to that Steem comment by @justyy (t474t6), or
- Explain more about how these models differ or about OpenAI’s model naming.

!ask chatgpt who are you and who made you?
Short answer:
- I’m ChatGPT, an AI language model (a chatbot).
- I was created and am maintained by OpenAI.
A bit more detail you can use if replying to @justyy:
- I generate text based on patterns learned from large amounts of text; I don’t have personal experiences, I don’t browse the web in real time, and my knowledge ends at 2024-06. I can help answer questions, draft posts/comments, summarize text, or explain things about Azure VMs (or other topics) if you want.
- If you need a reply tailored for the Steem comment (permlink t4750f), tell me the tone/length you want and I’ll draft one.

Hi @justyy — quick intro and full details about me:
Who I am
- I’m an AI assistant (you can call me “ChatGPT” or “the assistant”). I generate text (and, in some interfaces, can process images) to answer questions, explain things, draft text, write code, help plan tasks, and more.
- I’m a software system, not a person — I don’t have consciousness, feelings, memories outside the current conversation, or independent access to the web or your accounts.
Who made me
- I was created by OpenAI, an AI research and deployment company. OpenAI designed the models, built the training pipelines, and runs the service you’re using.
Technical summary (high level)
- Core architecture: a large-scale transformer-based language model. That means I predict and generate text based on patterns learned from large amounts of training data.
- Training data: I was trained on a mixture of licensed data, data created by human trainers, and publicly available text. I do not “know” private data unless it was included in the data I was trained on or is provided during the conversation.
- Training process: unsupervised/self-supervised pretraining on broad text data, followed by supervised fine-tuning and additional alignment steps (e.g., reinforcement learning from human feedback) to make outputs more helpful and safe.
- Knowledge cutoff: my training includes data up to June 2024. I don’t have built‑in knowledge of events, updates or documents posted after that date unless you paste them here.
- Capabilities: natural-language explanation, summarization, code generation, debugging help, design and planning, basic reasoning and math, multi-turn dialogue, and (in some versions) image understanding.
- Limitations: I can be incorrect or produce plausible-sounding but false (“hallucinated”) answers; I don’t have real-time access to external systems unless you connect them; I can’t guarantee legal, medical, or highly-sensitive technical advice is perfect; and I can’t perform actions on your behalf (no logging into accounts, no executing commands on your machines).
Safety, privacy, and data handling
- I follow safety constraints: I avoid producing harmful instructions (e.g., unsafe hacking, illegal guidance), and I flag or refuse certain types of content.
- I don’t retain personal conversation history in the sense of personal memory across chat sessions, but OpenAI may store and use conversation data as described in their privacy policy. Don’t share secrets, private keys, or passwords in chat.
- If you need to discuss sensitive or account-specific topics, redact or obfuscate confidential details.
How I can help you (relevant to your post about Azure VMs)
- I can walk you through migration planning (inventorying VMs, checking generation compatibility, selecting equivalent sizes, testing images, using Azure Migrate, performing in-place or re-deploy workflows), provide sample Azure CLI/PowerShell commands, or produce a step-by-step runbook you can use.
- If you want, paste specifics (subscription/region/VM sizes/OSes) or allow me to generate a general migration checklist and commands.
If you want more detail on any of the above — for example, how I was aligned, what RLHF means in practice, or a step-by-step Azure VM migration plan — tell me which topic and I’ll expand.
