Re: Fwd: Notice: A version of Debian GNU/Linux is nearing the end of its support life cycle
Hey James, just wanted to confirm that the plan isn't to actively
retire the AMIs as we ship new ones? It's probably not a huge deal
yet, as I don't know how many folks are using these in production yet,
but many folks bake AMIs into service orchestration and automation
frameworks, and even stuff like autoscaling groups. Having the AMIs go
away isn't great. Having them stop being featured for new users
looking for Debian is fine and preferred.
Can you clarify and/or comment?
Thanks,
Brian
