MinIO End of Life: How to Stay Patched and Audit-Ready with Docker ELS | Docker

This post announces the addition of MinIO to Docker's Extended Lifecycle Support (ELS) offering. It details how Docker will maintain MinIO images for up to five years past its upstream end-of-life, including backporting CVE fixes from its Go dependency tree. The post also reiterates the general ELS model: providing patched, compliant, and audit-ready images for EOL software, with a 14-day SLA for critical/high-severity CVEs and evidence like SBOMs and VEX statements.
