I have been watching the functionality improvements for ArcGIS on Kubernetes with the new releases and it's looking ready for evaluating moving our Enterprise site from AWS EC2 instances to Kubernetes.
I work for an organization that prioritises security and stability over being on the bleeding edge, so we are on the Long-Term Support release schedule (11.1, 11.3, etc) for ArcGIS Enterprise.
Looking at the Kubernetes support life cycle, the concept of a long-term support version is not aligned with the ArcGIS Enterprises support life cycle and as soon as a new version of ArcGIS Enterprise on Kubernetes is released, the previous version goes into mature support and is vulnerable to security risks as it does not receive updates or patching.
Based on the current Kubernetes support life cycle, we will never be able to move to it. Are there any plans to introduce an extended support category like there is for ArcGIS Enterprise for organisations that don't want to be on the short term release versions?
