Lifecycle and Maintenance Dates
IMPORTANT
Consider the following points for pre-5.5 ERE versions:- HPE cannot guarantee the support for any pre-5.5 version of HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise beyond the End-of-maintenance dates–listed in the following table. Kubernetes container images used in pre-5.5 ERE versions are no longer available from public repositories, and security vulnerabilities in those images cannot be addressed.
- HPE recommends upgrading to the latest General availability (GA) version of HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise from any pre-5.5.0 HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise versions. Contact the HPE Support team for any questions related to HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise and Kubernetes support.
IMPORTANT
Before upgrading to HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise 5.6.x, HPE
Ezmeral Product and Engineering team recommends upgrading all pre-5.5.1 deployments to
