Aiven for Grafana® version lifecycle
Learn how Aiven manages the Aiven for Grafana® service version, end of life (EOL) dates, and what happens to your service after the version reaches EOL.
Aiven for Grafana identifies versions in major.minor.patch format, for example
11.6.5.
Service version management
Aiven manages the software version of single-versioned services for you. You don't select or change the major version yourself, and only one version is available at a time. The version your service is currently running is visible in the Aiven Console.
Version updates
Aiven updates the version as part of regular platform maintenance and rolls it out during your service's maintenance window. Because you don't select a version, Aiven doesn't send the EOL email notifications and reminders described for multi-versioned services.
After a version reaches end of life
If Aiven sets an EOL date for the version your service is running:
- If the service is powered on, it's automatically upgraded to the next supported version.
- If the service is powered off, it's deleted.
For the EOL dates of a specific single-versioned service, see the Aiven single-versioned services EOL reference.
If the entire service reaches end of life
In some cases, Aiven retires an entire service rather than upgrading it to a new version. If this happens, Aiven announces the retirement in advance and provides migration guidance. For the list of retired and soon-to-be-retired services, see End of life for Aiven services.
