couple of questions about the EOL notice: I assume it applies to both 2023.x and 2025.x trains, and that once the June 12th date is reached whatever agent versions exist at that point in time are the last ones which will be released for the EOL OSs? So for example if 2023.8.30 is the current release at the time and 8.30.0 is the current agent release, then those OSs will not receive an 8.31.0 agent release?

Is this about the 90-day notice that went out? If so, then I think what you said is close to how I understand it. Essentially, Perforce will stop putting out releases for those operating systems. The timing is also close to the next major version updates that are going to be happening too, so I don't think we'll see much impact to the 2023 version. In August, PE is switching the lifecycle model off of LTS and PE 2023.8.z will not be getting maintenance releases anymore, with 6 months of overlap support until February. You can see some details about that here: Puppet Enterprise Platform Support Lifecycle | Puppet Given the close timing here, I don't think there is likely to be a PE 2023 release that will be impacted by the agent OS EOL, but it is possible. In general, though, if you are on PE 2023, you probably want to plan on going for PE 2025 (or straight to the latest 2026 when it comes out). Of course, that's specific to PE 2023. If you are on PE 2025, then you will be seeing maintenance releases coming out where the agents don't have those OS versions supported anymore. The docs for supported OS should also get updates when those new releases come out as well, to make it clear which ones are still supported.
