Various SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) EOL Notices

At the Open Telekom Cloud (OTC), we have decided to offer SLES images' support following only the general support cycle from SUSE. The Long Term Service Pack Support (LTSS) was not direclty offered anyhow in the past and was only availabe via the Bring Your Own License (BYOL) option.

In doing so, we will be hiding the following images.

  1. SUSE Linux Enterprise Enterprise Server 15 SP1 and its SAP variant
  2. SUSE Linux Enterprise Enterprise Server 15 SP2 and its SAP variant
  3. SUSE Linux Enterprise Enterprise Server 15 SP3 and its SAP variant
  4. SUSE Linux Enterprise Enterprise Server 15 SP4 and its SAP variant

The above images will still be useable by the customers if they have the image UUID at hand. It shoud be noted that the currently offered SUSE images list will reduce to the following:

  1. SUSE Linux Enterprise Enterprise Server 15 SP5 and its SAP variant
  2. SUSE Linux Enterprise Enterprise Server 12 SP5 and its SAP variant
  3. openSUSE 15
