If any of your projects currently use the affected images, we will be contacting your team directly to encourage you to migrate to a newer Ubuntu image.

When these images reach end of life (EOL) on May 31, 2022, any pipelines that utilize Ubuntu 14.04 or 16.04 images will fail. This means that there will be no new releases or support for these images moving forward.

Ubuntu 14.04 and Ubuntu 16.04 images are now deprecatedĪs of February 15, 2022, the Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04 Linux VM images used with our machine executor have been deprecated. If you are using either of these images, update your config with a newer Ubuntu machine image before the 14.04 and 16.04 images are removed at the end of May 2022. CircleCI’s Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04 Linux virtual machine (VM) images will be temporarily unavailable in late March 2022, late April 2022, and mid-May 2022, and they will be permanently unavailable as of May 31, 2022.
