Hello,

My team's app's automatic update to Spring Boot 2.7.0 has been blocked by com.azure.spring:spring-cloud-azure-dependencies:4.1.0, claiming that

Spring Boot [2.7.0] is not compatible with this Spring Cloud Azure release
Change Spring Boot version to one of the following versions [2.5.x, 2.6.x].

The full error was

org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [com.azure.spring.cloud.autoconfigure.implementation.compatibility.AzureSpringBootVersionVerifier]: Factory method 'springCloudAzureSpringBootVersionVerifier' threw exception; nested exception is com.azure.spring.cloud.autoconfigure.implementation.compatibility.AzureCompatibilityNotMetException: Spring Cloud Azure/ Spring Boot version compatibility checks have failed: [[VerificationResult@16e1219f description = 'Spring Boot [2.7.0] is not compatible with this Spring Cloud Azure release', action = 'Change Spring Boot version to one of the following versions [2.5.x, 2.6.x].
You can find the latest Spring Boot versions here [https://spring.io/projects/spring-boot#learn]. 
If you want to learn more about the Spring Cloud Azure compatibility, you can visit this page [https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-java/wiki/Spring-Versions-Mapping] and check the [Which Version of Spring Cloud Azure Should I Use] section.
If you want to disable this check, just set the property [spring.cloud.azure.compatibility-verifier.enabled=false]']]

This seems related to this GitHub issue. Do you have an estimated time for when Spring Cloud Azure will support Spring Boot 2.7.0?

Hi @andersthorbeck, according to our compatibility test, our code is compatible with Spring Boot 2.7.0. So you can either disable the verifier by adding spring.cloud.azure.compatibility-verifier.enabled=false or specifying the support of 2.7.0 by adding spring.cloud.azure.compatibility-verifier.compatible-boot-versions=2.7.0. Our release to support Spring Boot 2.7.0 will be out next month (this is an estimation time).

@saragluna I suppose, those property overrides should be taken with a note: "at your own risk", or not?

[saragluna]

@dbelyaev, we did run a compatibility test with Spring Boot 2.7.0, and it passed. But please let us know if you run into issues so that we can improve the compatibility tests.

close it and works on 2.7.1
