Microsoft Foundry's model router expanded to 28 global standard regions and 21 data zone regions, added GPT-5.6 and Claude Opus 4.8 while retiring end-of-life models, and logs which model handled each request. .NET Conf 2026 was set for November 10-12, marking the launch of .NET 11. Separately, Azure VMware Solution license-included SKUs retire after October 31st, requiring customers to bring their own Broadcom VCF licenses by August 30th, 2027, and extended support billing for Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server on versions 11-13 begins at 7 cents per vCore hour. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

Extended support billing for Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server begins at 7 cents per vCore hour, with servers running PostgreSQL 11, 12, and 13 auto-enrolled starting August 1st. Teams still on those versions start paying the premium regardless of whether an upgrade is already underway. _Developers planning Postgres version upgrades follow billing changes like this on daily.dev to avoid surprise charges._ ### Can I use my own AI models in Visual Studio instead of the default one?
