Hi,

I saw the thread https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/puppet-users/78ZcVVyuIMQ that talks about puppet 4 EOL as May 2018. How does the EOL work in general. For example EOL for 5.5 or 6.x. Is there a mention for LTS releases? These are specific to the Open Source versions of these products. Please let me know.

Thanks!

The open source puppet releases track the PE support lifecycle, available at https://puppet.com/misc/puppet-enterprise-lifecycle

This means that Puppet 5.5 will be receiving bugfixes until at least May 2020 as part of our support for PE 2018.1. Puppet 6 will likely be supported for 18-24 months after that, but it depends on which PE version in the 2019 family becomes the next LTS.
