Issue/Introduction

This article explains how to determine the End of Life (EOL) status of applications available in the Bitnami Secure Images catalog, using the information provided in the Bitnami Application Catalog UI.

What does “EOL” mean in this context?

The Upstream application End of Life refers to the date when the upstream open-source project (for example, PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka, etc.) is no longer maintained by its original maintainers.

Bitnami Secure Images align with upstream/community support End of Support (EOS).

This means that Bitnami Secure Images are maintained while the upstream project is under active community support, and updates typically cease once the upstream community reaches EOS for that version.

Where to find EOL information

1. Open the Bitnami Application Catalog:

   • Example application page:
     https://app-catalog.vmware.com/bitnami/releases/423c5976-1384-42c5-a04f-96fcdab7434e

2. On the application page, locate the field:
   Upstream application End of Life, for example:

   Upstream application End of Life: in 9 months

If nothing is shown there is either because the project didn't specified it of because the system was not able to ingest it automatically. In this case, you can open a support ticket to find it out.
