Alation End of Support Matrix¶
This document provides information about the planned end of support (EOS) by Alation for data sources, connectors, drivers, browsers, operating systems, and features. Alation ends support of the listed versions from the release given in the End of Support column.
The EOS versions provided in this document are intended for general planning purposes and do not supersede any of Alation’s contractual commitments.
Note
The Alation versions included into the End of Support columns reflect the current end of support schedule and may change due to changes in product requirements or release scoping. Most of the older versions of data sources are retired based on the end-of-support or end-of-life schedules announced by the respective companies.
