Question 1

What happens when Spring Cloud reaches end of life?

Accepted Answer

When Spring Cloud reaches end of life, it stops receiving security patches, bug fixes, and new features. Currently, 5 Spring Cloud versions are already EOL. The latest supported version is Spring Cloud 2025.1, maintained until December 31, 2026. Running an EOL version exposes your systems to unpatched security vulnerabilities with no official fix available.

Question 2

Is Spring Cloud 2025.1 still supported?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Spring Cloud 2025.1 is actively supported until December 31, 2026. It receives security patches and bug fixes. Check the version table above for the full list of supported Spring Cloud releases and their exact end-of-life dates.

Question 3

Is it safe to use Spring Cloud after end of life?

Accepted Answer

No. Running Spring Cloud 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 Spring Cloud release.

Question 4

How to upgrade from Spring Cloud 2024.0 to Spring Cloud 2025.x?

Accepted Answer

To upgrade Spring Cloud from 2024.0 to 2025.1: (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 Spring Cloud LTS version?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 6

How long does Spring Cloud support each version?

Accepted Answer

On average, Spring Cloud supports each release for approximately 16 months (~1.3 years).  The exact EOL date for each version is listed in the table above.
