Here is my draft following today's discussion. Please send along any feedback. Stable Cloud Images for Bullseye (stable) ----------------------------------------- The Debian Project will release it's new stable release 11 (code name Bullseye) along with images for various cloud providers. Images will be available at https://cloud.debian.org/cloud/bullseye, along with hashes to verify downloads. In addition, some platforms will have the images pre-loaded and/or available in their marketplace. See https://wiki.debian.org/Cloud for more information. Security Support Period ----------------------- The Cloud Team will support the Debian 11 images through the end of the LTS cycle. New builds will occasionally be made available: * after each point release of Debian 11. * when security updates have been published through official Debian channels for a kernel or network service. * on an occasional basis to collect other updates, at the discretion of each platform's maintainers. End of Security Support ----------------------- At the end of the LTS support period, the images will no longer be updated. Any marketplace listings will be retired. And depending on the technical details of the platforms, pre-loaded images may be deleted. To avoid missing important security updates, users are encouraged to migrate to a newer image before the end of the LTS period. Ross
