Unsupported Base Images

Overview

Follow the steps below to update your image to a supported version or find a replacement base image for unsupported images.

About No Longer Supported Base Images

If an image is no longer actively supported by Iron Bank, that image cannot be used as a base image in Party Bus anymore.

• Images that are no longer actively supported are images that are not updated or patched by Iron Bank for security vulnerabilities.
• Images not receiving security updates pose an increasing risk to your deployed application and the platform.

Customers must:

• Update to a supported version for that image, or
• Find a suitable alternative Iron Bank image.

Updating to a Supported Version

If your image is no longer actively supported, chances are Iron Bank has switched to maintaining a newer version. To see if there is a new version of an image available:

1. Navigate to Registry1.
2. Search for the image registry for your base image. For example: ironbank/google/golang/ubi9/golang-1.25.
3. Check the versions under the Tags column and look for images with recent dates under Push Time. If you cannot find any recently updated images, follow the instructions for finding a replacement base image.

Finding a Replacement Base Image

To find an alternative base image, try a generic search for an image containing the software you need.

1. Navigate to Registry1.
2. Search for generic terms related to the software needed in your base image. For example, instead of searching for ironbank/google/golang/ubi9/golang-1.23, search for golang. In this example, you may find there is a later version. Ex: ironbank/google/golang/ubi9/golang-1.25.
