Hey everyone! I wanted to give you a heads up that Bitnami will be moving most of its public container images to a legacy repository starting August 28, 2025, and they won't be updating these anymore. Only a handful of latest-tag images will remain free, but for continued access and security updates, you'll have to switch to their paid tier.
For those of us who rely on these images, I'm curious about the best strategies to keep our workloads secure without simply mirroring everything. How is everyone else planning to handle this?

Last day at my job is the 29th, planning on taking a couple days off before that. Any tips for the transition?
Honestly, I'm half considering lighting my hair on fire in frustration! 😂 Luckily, most of our Bitnami stuff is in dev environments, and for production, we rely on AWS services like RDS and SQS. We’ve also been using Nexus as a cache for our Bitnami images, which helps a bit, but this is a bummer, reminiscent of Docker's changes.
Anyone know of a good alternative to the rabbitmq-cluster-operator Helm chart?
We noticed this change coming and made the jump away from Bitnami images a while back. We don't use any of them now and have switched everything to other solutions. It felt inevitable after they got acquired by Broadcom. Bye-bye, Bitnami!
Where did you migrate to for your workloads?
Amen to that!
We've already moved away from most Bitnami stuff. Transitioned RabbitMQ to the Official RabbitMQ Cluster Operator, Redis to DragonflyDB Operator, and switched ingress-nginx to the standard ingress-nginx Helm chart.
Whoa, you really made some serious changes!
This helped me realize we're also using the Bitnami chart. Thanks for pointing it out!
