When is the End of Life (EOL) date for Databricks Runtime 7.3 LTS? Can we still use an unsupported version till its EOL date?

The End of Support (EOS) date sneaked up on us and we are now wondering if we can delay our upgrade post the EOS date. Could you please help us analyze the risks of operating a DBR version post EOS date?

Hi @Syed Zaffar​ the 7.3 LTS ​EOS is until Sep 24, 2022.

For EOL we cant give you the exact date as Databricks reserves the right to completely remove a release version from the API at any time after support ends, without prior notice.

However the version should be available atleast for a couple of months after EOS. It would be better if you try to migrate to latest LTS to avoid last min huddles. I would say sooner the better.
