End of support announcements for Bamboo

This page announces the end of support for various platforms and browsers used with Atlassian Bamboo. 

Why is Atlassian ending support for these platforms?

Atlassian is committed to delivering improvements and bug fixes as fast as possible. We are also committed to providing world class support for all the platforms our customers run our software on. However, as new versions of databases, web browsers etc. are released, the cost of supporting multiple platforms grows exponentially, making it harder to provide the level of support our customers have come to expect from us. Therefore, we no longer support platform versions marked as end-of-life by the vendor, or very old versions that are no longer widely used.

End of support for Windows 2008 and Amazon Linux 32bit stock images The end of support for Windows 2008 and Amazon Linux 32bit images in Bamboo Server with the upcoming release of Bamboo 5.10.  We will provide the last refreshed version of these images with Bamboo 5.10.0. After 5.10.0, the images will continue to be available on upgraded instances, but will not be shown anymore on new installations. Note that the 32bit variant of Amazon Linux has been abandoned by Amazon in 2014 and no longer receives security fixes.
End of support for MySQL 5.1 The end of support for MySQL 5.1 in Bamboo Server with the upcoming release of Bamboo 5.10.
End of support for Internet Explorer 9 and 10 The end of support for Internet Explorer 9 and 10 in Bamboo Server with the upcoming release of Bamboo 5.10.
End of support for JDK 6 and 726 October 2015

We're announcing the end of support for JDK 6 and 7 in Bamboo Server with the upcoming release of Bamboo 5.10.

It means that agents, custom images, and Bamboo itself won't run against a JDK less than 8.

We highly recommend upgrading to the latest version of JDK 8 as soon as you upgrade to Bamboo 5.10 to avoid any issues with existing agents or custom images. The stock images are upgraded automatically.

Note: Atlassian doesn't provide support for customized images. Bamboo provides flexibility to use customized machine images, but it's impossible for us to support all individual configurations.

Tips:

  • Try to match the layout and scripts of our stock images as closely as possible.
  • Choose Oracle if you have the choice between Oracle and OpenJDK flavor of JDK.
