This announcement is a little hard to read. They make it seem that the current images under docker.io/bitnami/* get deleted on August 28? But individual chart READMEs seem to say that images will move during a period starting on August 28 and ending two weeks later? But looking at https://hub.docker.com/u/bitnamilegacy images have been copied already?

From ticket https://github.com/bitnami/charts/issues/35164:

> Now – August 28th, 2025: Plan your migration: Update CI/CD pipelines, Helm repos, and image references

> August 28th, 2025: Legacy assets are archived in the Bitnami Legacy repository.

From README https://github.com/bitnami/charts/blob/4973fd08dd7e95398ddcc...:

> Starting August 28th, over two weeks, all existing container images, including older or versioned tags (e.g., 2.50.0, 10.6), will be migrated from the public catalog (docker.io/bitnami) to the “Bitnami Legacy” repository (docker.io/bitnamilegacy), where they will no longer receive updates.

What are users expected to do exactly?

From the bottom of the post I know what they are hoping users will do:

> Suppose your deployed Helm chart is failing to pull images from docker.io/bitnami. In that case, you can resolve this by subscribing to Bitnami Secure Images, ensuring that the Helm charts receive continued support and security updates.

They don't want to give instructions that are too helpful. They want your company CC to be the easiest way to fix the problem they created.

Looks like it's $5k/month, minimum 12 months for "secure" images.

You can always follow the "contact sales" form and see if they give you a higher or lower number than that.
