Images
Below are the images provided by Compute Canada staff on the Compute Canada Clouds. New images will be added periodically as new releases and updates become available. As releases have an end of life (EOL) after which support and updates are no longer provided, we encourage you to migrate systems and platforms to newer releases in order to continue receiving patches and security updates. The EOL dates listed in the table are the dates at which these images will be removed from the Compute Canada clouds.
For more details about using images see working with images.
