Received a mail from Azure with subject "Action recommended: We're deprecating the Windows Server Gen2 preview offer"

Mail Body:
Migrate to the latest version of Windows Server to ensure continued support and updates
You're receiving this notice because you're currently operating virtual machines with a version of Windows Server that is no longer serviced with security or quality updates.
We've deprecated the Windows Server Gen2 preview offer in the Azure Marketplace. This offer will no longer be visible in the Azure Marketplace or Azure portal, and Windows Server Gen2 images will no longer receive support and security updates.
Recommended action
We encourage you to migrate to the latest supported version of Windows Server.
If you have any questions, please contact us.

We are using Windows Server 2019. I am not sure what we are expected to do now.
Can someone guide?

Regards

@ViswanathMV-0248 Thank you for your query!!!

You got this email since you are using the Gen2 Preview image. This image was made specifically for preview. More info here.

It is no longer in preview and we have a regular Gen2 VM image in the marketplace.

More info here

So you might need to migrate your workload to a new VM using the Gen2 image that is not in preview. Preview images are not intended for production workloads.One such doc is this

Hope it helps!!!
