End of Life Announcement: 4 week extension on planned removal of certain Snyk container images

In May 2022 we announced the deprecation and end of life (EOL) plan for Snyk’s CLI container images (snyk/snyk-cli); following that, in May 2024 we announced the plan to EOL some additional Snyk container images (a subset of snyk/snyk images) with out-of-date open source components. We are adjusting our timeframe for the EOL.

Originally set for 12-Aug-2024, we are now extending the date to 09-Sep-2024. This change ensures you have ample time for a smooth transition. If you do not use Snyk’s container images as part of your testing toolchain, you are not affected by this EOL notice.

Here is what you need to know:

Impacted Images:

• Snyk CLI Images which were deprecated in 2022

• A subset of Snyk Images containing EoL software

Immediate Action required: Snyk customers using any of the listed images should start transitioning immediately.

Migration Guides: Snyk has documented the following migration guides to help customers take necessary steps.

• CircleCI migration guide: For customers using the scan-iac job will need to switch to using snyk/scan with the iac test command.

• Bitbucket migration guide: For customers using snyk-scan.

• GitHub Actions migration guide: For customers using actions containing Python 3.6, Python 3.7 or scala/sbt.

• Instructions for creating custom images to suit your needs
