PREQUEL-2025-0107View on GitHub

Description

  • Detects Kubernetes events where Bitnami container image pulls are failing due to repository deprecation.
  • Monitors image pull failures for Bitnami images as they approach the August 28, 2025 deprecation deadline.
  • Identifies specific error conditions when Bitnami images become unavailable from deprecated repositories.
  • Tracks container deployment failures due to Bitnami image repository deprecation.

Cause

  • Bitnami deprecating their legacy Docker Hub repositories effective August 28, 2025.
  • Images being pulled from deprecated bitnami/* repositories that are no longer maintained.
  • Access to legacy Bitnami images being restricted or removed from Docker Hub.
  • Repository policy changes preventing pulls from deprecated Bitnami catalog.
  • Migration to Bitnami Secure Images not yet completed by affected applications.
  • CI/CD pipelines still referencing deprecated Bitnami image repositories.

Mitigation

  • Complete migration to Bitnami Secure Images before August 28, 2025 deadline.
  • Update all CI/CD pipelines to use new Bitnami Secure Image references.
  • Replace deprecated bitnami/* image references with bitnamisecure/* equivalents.
  • Implement image scanning to identify all deprecated Bitnami dependencies.
  • Create migration timeline for affected applications and services.
  • Monitor Bitnami catalog changes and update image references accordingly.
  • Consider using Bitnami Legacy repository as temporary workaround if needed.
