You are responsible for managing your infrastructure, including but not limited to spinning down virtual machines and/or deleting any data contained on your infrastructure. Up until the EOL date, you will be billed for the services you use in accordance with your Terms of Service.
Is it possible to extend the EOL date if I can't migrate off the platform in time?
