  • Elastic Product and Version End of Life Policy. Each Major Release is maintained for the longer of 30 months from GA or 18 months after the GA of the next Major Release, with support continuing six months beyond maintenance. [1]
  • Software Product retirement. When Elastic retires a Software Product it publishes a retirement notice, ships no new Major Releases, and provides maintenance and support for at least 12 months after the notice. [1]
  • Elastic Cloud Serverless. Serverless projects have no customer-managed upgrades or cluster management; Elastic operates the infrastructure. [3]
