Unsupported

  • a9s Harbor: End of Support: Terminate support for the following deprecated data service versions:

    • a9s Kubernetes (all versions) The creation of new data service instances for these deprecated versions is now disabled by default in the a9s Data Service Bundle and we no longer provide regular support for these versions.

Upcoming

  • a9s MongoDB: Deprecation: Prepare for the upcoming deprecation phase, triggered during the next release of anynines deployment (v38.0.0, expected by end of May), of the following data service versions:
    • a9s MongoDB v3.x
    • a9s MongoDB v4.0 Please ensure that you organize the migration of your existing instances to more up-to-date version of the same data service:
    • for a9s MongoDB v3.x: a9s MongoDB 5.0 is available as GA version
    • for a9s MongoDB v4.0: a9s MongoDB 5.0 is available as GA version

The deprecation phase is planned to last until v41.0.0 (in Q3/2023), in which the deprecated versions will become unsupported. The creation of new data service instances for these particular versions will then be disabled by default in the a9s Data Service Bundle and we will not provide regular support for these versions. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you start your migrations to a supported GA version as soon as possible and complete them until the end of the deprecation phase. For more information see a9s Platform Operator Sunrise Sunset. To inquire about extended support for a deprecated version, please get in contact with our sales department at sales@anynines.com.
