Question 1

What happens when Amazon Glue reaches end of life?

Accepted Answer

When Amazon Glue reaches end of life, it stops receiving security patches, bug fixes, and new features. Currently, 4 Amazon Glue versions are already EOL. The latest supported version is Amazon Glue 5.1. Running an EOL version exposes your systems to unpatched security vulnerabilities with no official fix available.

Question 2

Is Amazon Glue 5.1 still supported?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Amazon Glue 5.1 is actively supported. It receives security patches and bug fixes. Check the version table above for the full list of supported Amazon Glue releases and their exact end-of-life dates.

Question 3

Is it safe to use Amazon Glue after end of life?

Accepted Answer

No. Running Amazon Glue after EOL is not safe for production systems. Once a version reaches end of life, newly discovered CVEs are published publicly but never patched — leaving your systems permanently exposed. The only safe path is upgrading to an actively supported Amazon Glue release.

Question 4

How to upgrade from Amazon Glue 2.0 to Amazon Glue 5.x?

Accepted Answer

To upgrade Amazon Glue from 2.0 to 5.1: (1) review the official migration guide for breaking changes, (2) test your application against the new version in a staging environment, (3) update dependencies that have version constraints, (4) run your full test suite, (5) deploy with a rollback plan. The earlier you start, the more time you have to resolve compatibility issues before EOL.

Question 5

When is the next Amazon Glue LTS version?

Accepted Answer

Not all Amazon Glue releases have a designated LTS status. Check the version table above — LTS releases are marked with an "LTS" badge. Refer to the official Amazon Glue release policy for information on upcoming long-term support versions.

Question 6

How long does Amazon Glue support each version?

Accepted Answer

On average, Amazon Glue supports each release for approximately 78 months (~6.5 years).  The exact EOL date for each version is listed in the table above.
