lifecycle policy for founda platform we perform a release at the end of each shape up cycle, resulting in multiple releases throughout the year version numbers include the year and a sequential release number (for example, 2020 1) the first release of each year is commercially considered a major release; subsequent releases within the year are treated as version upgrade releases each major release has a product life cycle span of 2 (calendar) years during this 2 year span customers are entitled to receive support under the definition of the service level agreement (sla) linked to their contract with founda health 2 years after the commercial introduction of a product version (i e , 2020 1) it will go into an “end of life” period that end 12 months after the last release of that version during an end of life (eol) period customers can continue to use their product version but will be requested to upgrade to a later version in case issues arise that cannot be solved with a work around after the eol period ends the specific product version is no longer supported, end of support (eos), and customers are no longer entitled to receive support year 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 version 2023 x support under sla eol eos 2024 x support under sla eol eos 2025 x support under sla eol eos lifecycle policy for 3rd party components as the interoperability platform can be combined with several 3rd party products the following table identifies the strategy which 3rd party products are supported with what version of the interoperability platform as each 3rd party product has its own life cycle the intent is to stick to these as much as possible in the table “n a s” stands for “not actively supported” which means the interoperability platform version listed in the column header can still be run with these 3rd party components but are no longer extensively tested supported versions 2023 x 2024 x 2025 x operating system microsoft windows server 2008 (r2) discontinued microsoft windows server 2012 (r2) discontinued microsoft windows server 2016 n a s discontinued windows server essentials 2019 y n a s n a s windows server 2022 y y ubuntu 18 04 lts discontinued ubuntu 20 04 lts y n a s disc ubuntu 24 04 lts y y 2023 x 2024 x 2025 x databases microsoft sql server 2016 sp2 discontinued microsoft sql server 2019 windows y y n a s microsoft sql server 2022 not supported y y postgresqql 9 x postgresqql 12 x y y n a s postgresqql 16 x not supported y y oracle 12 1 0 1 supported version 2023 x 2024 x 2025 x application servers apache tomcat 8 5 x discontinued apache tomcat 9 0 x y y y supported version 2023 x 2024 x 2025 x java versions openjdk 8 (update 232 or higher) y y discontinued openjdk 17 64 bit not supported y y 2023 x 2024 x 2025 x browsers ms internet explorer 11 discontinued ms edge ms edge chromium y y y safari mozilla firefox y y y google chrome y y y
