End of support date for OS distributions - adoptium/infrastructure GitHub Wiki
This page lists the end-of-support dates for different distributions which we use at the project. Each section should provide a link to the upstream master source, and also, where possible, list the cadence to indicate how often new releases come out

Alpine Linux
Upstream details: https://alpinelinux.org/releases/ (Archive for older release dates)
No fixed release cycle but a snapshot is taken every six months and will get security updates for around two years. That means that there are several releases supported in parallel. Only the latest release will get bug fixes other than security. There are no LTS versions.
