Ubuntu’s LTS releases are popular due to the long support windows – but every Ubuntu LTS release reaches the end of life at some point in time. Official support for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS ended on April 30, 2021. If you use Ubuntu 16.04 LTS for your enterprise workloads you cannot risk running out of formal, official support for your Ubuntu servers. Relying on an unsupported distribution can turn out costly because you lose access to critical vulnerability patches. It leaves organizations open to significant security risks.
For enterprises with unlimited budgets switching to the commercial support of Ubuntu might be a viable solution. But for many organizations this option is not realistic. Migrating to another free Linux distribution or upgrading to the next version of LTS Ubuntu is the path most enterprises take and the path is challenging. Organizations cannot simply switch to the latest release without thorough planning. They need to perform thorough testing and benchmarking to flag potential problems and to gauge risk. However, enterprise companies may not have sufficient time left to do so.
