How Virtual Machine Life Cycle Patterns Can Help You
You can use virtual machine life cycle patterns to:
- Identify virtual machines that are exposed to security/stability risks as they are no longer supported by patch updates
- Identify virtual machines that you may be paying a premium maintenance subscription for
- Identify virtual machines that are no longer shipping so may increase costs and risks associated with variance
Product Life Cycle Terminology
The product life cycle dates include the following milestones that were made available and used by the publisher. Note some publishers use different terminology and definitions, in these cases, we have aligned to the closest matching definition.
- End Of Life (EOL) - at this milestone, the publisher will stop shipping the particular product
- End Of Support (EOS) - at this milestone, the publisher will stop providing patch updates for the particular product
- End Of Extended Support (EOES) - at this milestone, the publisher will stop providing support for the particular product.
