About Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS has transitioned into security-only maintenance since September 30, 2024. This means it still receives critical security patches, but no new features, performance improvements, or non-critical bug fixes will be backported. It remains a safe choice for production systems that cannot upgrade immediately, but you should begin planning your migration path.
When you are ready to upgrade, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is the recommended target. Test your application against 24.04 in a staging environment first, paying attention to any deprecated APIs you may be using.
