End of life policy for bitbucket smart mirrors

[Marcin]

Hi community maybe you can help me to clarify something.

Bitbucket Data Center has feature called Smart Mirror - which comes to "just" server installation and startup flag "mirror". Some time ago there was instruction that mirrors need to be version 4.2+ Also they don't need to be upgraded to align with DC nodes.

But such setup end up in a place where you can have 'n' mirrors in version 4.2+ and 7.11 on DC. How smart mirror version matched EOL? Versions older than 6.2 are not even listed on https://confluence.atlassian.com/support/atlassian-support-end-of-life-policy-201851003.html

Does mirror version matter? Or maybe only DC is important and mirrors can stay 4.2 for next years?

Thanks,

Marcin

Hi Marcin,

Anything not listed at https://confluence.atlassian.com/support/atlassian-support-end-of-life-policy-201851003.html has already reached end-of-life status. EOL applies to all parts of the product including Smart Mirrors.

Note that it is only up to version 6.6 that you can have version-mismatched deployments of DC and Smart Mirrors - with 6.7 Mirror Farms were introduced which no longer allows for this.
