When an operating system has reached its end of life, the operating system manufacturer will no longer provide additional support to the software. As a result, while Armor may still allow the use of this operating system, Armor cannot guarantee the operating system's usability in the future, especially for new installations.

Armor recommends that you always upgrade to the latest version of an operating system; however, at the very least, when your current operating system has reached its end of life, you should upgrade to a newer version of the software.

Review the tables below to see the end-of-life date for your operating system.


The dates mentioned in this document may change without notice.

For the latest dates, always refer to the vendor's website.


Armor's private cloud

For Armor's private cloud, when an operating system has reached end-of-life support, users will no longer be able to purchase the operating system through the Armor Marketplace, nor will users be able to provision a new virtual machine from an existing template. You can continue to use AMP's self-service scaling feature to add / reduce the compute & memory resources on machines running EOL operating systems.

However, the Armor Agent (which Armor's private cloud utilizes) will continue to support the end-of-life operating system, unless there is a technical dependency that Armor cannot troubleshoot. In these situations, Armor will internally determine a suitable date, which will then be communicated to users as soon as possible.

February 1, 2019

 End-of-Life Support for Ubuntu 12

As of February 1, 2019 Armor no longer supports Ubuntu 12.X.

Also as of February 1, 2019 Ubuntu 12.X will no longer be compatible with Trend Micro. As a result, Armor no longer offers Ubuntu 12.X in the Armor Marketplace.

Armor strongly recommends that you create a new virtual machine to replace your existing Ubuntu 12 virtual machine.

At a high-level, you must:

  • Step 1: Create a new virtual machine
  • Step 2: Migrate infrastructure
  • Step 3: Delete the old virtual machine


Step 1: Create a new Ubuntu virtual machine

There are two options:

  1. Create a firewall rule
    • By default, outbound and inbound traffic are blocked from virtual machines. To allow traffic, you must create a firewall rule. To learn more, see Firewall Rules.
  2. Download the SSL/VPN client.
    • To access the virtual machine, you must download the SSL/VPN client. To learn more, see SSL VPN - decomission.


Step 2: Migrate infrastructure to the newly created virtual machine


Step 3: Delete the old Ubuntu virtual machine

There are two ways to delete a virtual machine. You can delete a virtual machine now or at the end of your billing cycle.

You can only delete virtual machines that are offline (Power Off).

If you delete a virtual machine before the end of the billing cycle, you will still be charged for the full amount; however, in the next invoice, you will receive a credit to offset the cost.

Additionally, any add-on products or add-on subscriptions associated with the deleted virtual machine must be canceled separately.

  1. In the Armor Management Portal (AMP), in the left-side navigation, click Infrastructure.
  2. Click Virtual Machines.
  3. Locate and hover over the desired virtual machine.
  4. Click the vertical ellipses.
  5. Click Power Off.
  6. Click Power Off again.
  7. Hover over the virtual machine, and then click the vertical ellipses.
  8. Click Delete.
  9. Click Delete VM.
