# Yandex IoT Core shutdown

{% note warning %}

We are sunsetting Yandex IoT Core. This page outlines the decommissioning timeline and procedure, and provides guidance for migration.

{% endnote %}

## What's happening {#what-happens}

We have made the decision to discontinue Yandex IoT Core. We understand this may impact your workflows, and we are committed to supporting you through a smooth transition to alternative solutions.

## Key dates {#key-dates}

The decommissioning process will follow these three stages:

* **April 27, 2026**: End of sales for Yandex IoT Core. Customers who signed up for the service earlier will be able to use it until November 1, 2026.

* **November 1, 2026**: Transition to read-only mode. Creating new resources and writing data to registries and brokers will become unavailable. Remaining Yandex IoT Core users will only be able to view resources they created earlier.

* **December 1, 2026**: Full decommissioning. Access to the interface will be disabled for all users.

## What happens to your data {#data}

Your data (lists of devices, device aliases, brokers, as well as device and broker certificates) will be preserved. After decommissioning, we will retain backup copies of your data until January 31, 2027, available to you upon request via our [support](https://center.yandex.cloud/support).
