Will Bitnami catalog changes affect public.ecr.aws/bitnami images after August 28, 2025?

0

Hello,

The official Bitnami announcement describes upcoming changes to the Bitnami container catalog (effective August 28th, 2025), including deprecations and image migrations from docker.io/bitnami to the Bitnami Legacy repository.

However, there is no mention of how (or whether) these changes will affect the Amazon Public ECR registry, specifically: public.ecr.aws/bitnami/APP_NAME:latest.

This creates uncertainty for users and teams that rely on the ECR-hosted Bitnami images, as it's unclear whether this registry will continue to work, be updated, or become deprecated similarly to Docker Hub.

Could you please clarify:

Will the changes described for docker.io/bitnami also apply to public.ecr.aws/bitnami?

Will ECR continue to host updated Bitnami images (especially latest tags)?

Will ECR include images from the Bitnami Legacy repository?

Should users expect Bitnami ECR images to become unsupported or removed?

I believe the risk now becomes to:

• Versioned tags (e.g., , ) may no longer be updated or supported. • ECR may not host Bitnami Legacy images, as those are explicitly tied to Docker Hub (). • Security updates and rebuilds will likely be exclusive to Bitnami Secure Images, not ECR-hosted containers.

Please consider:

  • Audit your dependencies: Identify which Bitnami images you pull from ECR and whether they rely on versioned tags.
  • Prepare for migration: Consider switching to Bitnami Secure Images if you need long-term support and security patches.

Hey,

Hope you're keeping well.

Bitnami’s announcement only covers their own distribution channels, so AWS hasn’t published any statement confirming future updates to public.ecr.aws/bitnami after August 28, 2025. Public ECR images are generally synchronized from the vendor’s upstream, so if Bitnami stops publishing updates to the source ECR feed, tags like latest or versioned releases may freeze. I’d recommend checking the Bitnami container GitHub repo for any ECR-specific notes and monitoring the image’s Last pushed date in the Amazon ECR Public Gallery. If you need guaranteed ongoing updates and security fixes, plan to migrate to the Bitnami Secure Images or another actively maintained registry before that date.

Thanks and regards,
Taz
