Notice: Download source for auto-deployments changing

[jeffw16]

A few weeks ago, we pushed out a change that changes auto-deployments to download the latest package data from GitHub rather than Azure Blob Storage. This is an underlying change that does not impact any StartStop V2 feature.

In the past several weeks, we have maintained both while customers' StartStop V2 instances automatically update and transition to the new download source. The vast majority of SSV2 instances have already upgraded to the latest version and are all set to go. To be more specific, more than 90% of SSV2 customers do not need to worry about this. As of June 24, 2024, fewer than 10% of SSV2 instances remain on an older version that will no longer be supported.

Beginning this week (the week of June 24, 2024), we will be retiring the Azure Blob Storage download source. Any StartStop V2 instance that hasn't been updated to the latest version will no longer be able to auto-upgrade in the future. To rectify such an occurrence, you can redeploy SSV2 from the Azure Marketplace by:

1. Stopping the SSV2 Azure Function
2. Redeploy SSV2 by going to the Azure Marketplace and deploying it to the same resource group with the exact same names as you used before

Thank you all for using StartStop V2 and we appreciate your understanding.
