Who is affected
Anyone running an unsupported knative release. After end of life a version stops receiving security patches, which typically becomes an audit or compliance finding before it becomes an outage. Upgrading to a supported release is the migration path; the table above shows which releases still qualify.

Get told before the next knative deadline
You are reading this because a knative release is losing support. The next one will arrive the same way — quietly, months before an auditor finds it. A free weekly email lists every knative and related deadline as it is announced, with exact dates and primary sources.
