ClickCease Endless Lifecycle Support for Alpine Linux - TuxCare

Alpine Linux 3.17.10 reached its end of life on November 22, 2024, and the 3.18.11 version is set to do the same on May 9, 2025. End-of-life Alpine Linux versions no longer receive security updates.

Continuing to use these unsupported versions of Alpine Linux leaves your systems vulnerable to security threats.

With TuxCare’s Endless Lifecycle Support (ELS), you can keep your Alpine Linux deployments
protected and stable for as long as you need.

There’s no need to grapple with the pains of a rushed version upgrade, like compatibility issues with
existing software, kernel and driver issues, container compatibility, package manager and
repository changes, configuration changes, or impacts to performance.

With Endless Lifecycle Support, you can:

Ensure security and compliance beyond the EOL date with ongoing long-term updates for Critical and High-risk vulnerabilities.

Achieve maximum security for your Alpine Linux systems with support for a list of essential server packages.

Track security updates, selected bug fixes, and affected packages across all architectures with qualified errata advisories.

Verify your Alpine Linux system update status using our OVAL patch definitions with OpenSCAP or other OVAL-compatible tools.
