Four Lifecycle Status Indicators
Active images- active images are on a 3 months rolling refresh cycle (more on this in a minute)
Inactive images- inactive images will only get refreshed for critical security updates, think shellshock, heartbleed, or the more recent Specter and Meltdown issues.
Deprecated images- deprecated images do not get refreshed. Images in the deprecated state have entered the last 6 months of their life-cycle and are subject to removal at the end of the 6 months period.
Deleted- images no longer available
Rolling Refresh Cycle
• Images are refreshed every three months
• Security updates count as an out-of-cycle refresh, this resets the refresh cycle
Example:• An image is released on May 1st• On June 15th there is a major security issue that forces a
release of an image update• This resets the refresh clock to 0 on June 15th• The next image refresh will now be on September 15
Put together this makes up the 3 month rolling refresh cycle.
Note: Image names are date coded in the format “vYYYYMMDD” which allows you to see which images are the most current.
Details for On-Demand Images
Refresh cycle:• On-demand images follow the 3 months rolling refresh cycle• Critical security issues, affecting instance function, are determined on a case-by-case basis can trigger a
refresh
Update availability:• Instances connect to the SUSE provisioned and operated local update infrastructure.• Updates are available for images in active, inactive, and deprecated states• No new updates become available once an image reaches the end of the deprecation period
Image state transitions:• When an image is refreshed during the regular 3 months rolling refresh cycle the image that is being
replaced immediately enters the deprecated state• All images except SLES for SAP images follow use this process
Changes to the SLES for SAP Applications Offering
In November 2018 SUSE announced a change to the SLES for SAP Applications support:
• All SLES for SAP Applications 12 and higher will be supported during the General Availability (GA) of a codestream for 4.5 years with 3 years of ESPOS (Extended Service Pack Overlap Support) now included.
• This replaces the purchased option of LTSS.
These changes are reflected in the SLES for SAP public cloud images:
• There are two different lifecycle changes, one for on-demand images, one for BYOS images
Details for On-Demand ImagesSLES for SAP
Image state transitions for SLES for SAP:• Transition from one SP to the next marks the transition from active to inactive• At the SP transition the SP enters an ESPOS period• Six months prior to the end of ESPOS, SLES For SAP transitions from the inactive state to the
deprecated state
For the Final SP of a release:• At the transition, SLES and SLES for SAP are same, images enter the deprecated state six months prior to
EOL
Image availability:• On-demand images will be available for launch until the end of the deprecation period.
Details for BYOS Images
Refresh cycle:• BYOS images follow the 3 months rolling refresh cycle.• Only critical security issues or instance boot issues are considered as out of band refresh events.
Update availability:• BYOS instances are registered to the SUSE Customer Center, a Repository Mirroring Tool server, a
Subscription Management Tool server, or be managed with SUSE Manager in order to receive updates.• The availability of updates and repositories is governed by your product selection just like it is in the data
center.• Any new deployments of your own management and patch solution should be completed using SUSE
Manager or RMT.
Image state transitions:• When an image is refreshed during the regular 3 months rolling refresh cycle the image that is being
replaced immediately enters the deprecated state.
Details for BYOS ImagesSLES for SAP
Image state transitions for SLES for SAP:• At Service Pack transition points the behavior between SLES and SLES For SAP is differentOn-demand SLES changes to deprecatedOn-demand SLES for SAP changes to inactive• Inactive state is maintained until 6 months prior to the end of LTSS or ESPOS as applicable at which point
the image enters the deprecated state
Image availability:• BYOS images will be available for launch until the end of LTSS or ESPOS support (deprecated state)• SUSE has started refreshing SLES for SAP images that fall within the new longer ESPOS support
timeframe• Images from SLES 12 SP1* will be updated
* AWS ESPOS will support 12 SP2 and forward
