End of Life Branches#

This page lists NVIDIA AI Enterprise release branches that have reached end of life or end of support. For active release branches, refer to Application Layer Software and Infrastructure Branch Lifecycle and Compatibility. For individual component deprecations, refer to End of Life Notices.

July 2026 EOL Migration#

Two application/infrastructure lines reached end of life in July 2026. Use this path to migrate:

  1. Confirm what ended - Production Branch - October 2025 (PB 25h2) and Infra 4.x (LTSB / R535) under the sections below.

  2. Pick the replacement branch - Application: move to Production Branch 6 (PB6) or Long-Term Support Branch 2 (LTSB 2). Infrastructure: move to Infra 8.x (FB/PB) or Infra 7.x LTSB - see Infrastructure Branch Lifecycle and Compatibility.

  3. Validate the stack - Interactive Lifecycle and Compatibility Explorer.

  4. Check component notices - End of Life Notices for hardware and component-level deprecations that may apply to your migration.

New Features - Government Ready

This release introduces a significant new baseline for security, Government Ready, for most x86 container images. Government Ready containers meet software security requirements for use within FedRAMP High or equivalent Sovereign use cases while providing matching functionality with standard NVIDIA software.

Government Ready containers are built on Canonical’s Ubuntu 24.04 STIG-hardened base image and include FIPS-enabled versions of common cryptography libraries. These containers can be deployed the same as normal containers and require a FIPS-enabled Linux kernel on the host machine to use FIPS mode.

For detailed information about Government Ready containers, including technical implementation details, STIG and FIPS 140-3 standards, deployment instructions, and verification procedures, refer to Government Ready Containers.
