As indicated on our Product Lifecycle Policy page, Parallels Virtuozzo Containers for Linux 4.7 and Parallels Server Bare Metal 5.0 reach their End-of-Life (EOL) in September 2018. Upon the EOL date of a product:
The Virtuozzo Team no longer provides support for the product release
There are no future updates to the product release
There will be no future integrations of the release with other Virtuozzo products
Support is limited to information in the Virtuozzo Knowledge Base and Support Forums
Purchasing Optional Extended Support for Parallels Virtuozzo Containers for Linux 4.7 or Parallels Server Bare Metal 5.0 today eliminates the impact that their EOL in September 2018 would otherwise have on your business.
