.NET Core 2.2 EOL and Docker Hub tag updates

As of December 23, 2019, .NET Core 2.2 reached end-of-life (EOL). As a result, Docker images for this version of .NET Core will no longer be produced. In addition, Docker Hub tags that were not version-specific are being updated to target 2.1 instead of 2.2 (see below for more info). This change will take effect on January 14, 2020.

Details

• dotnet-docker#1520

On January 14, 2020, the following Docker Hub tags that were previously referencing 2.2 images will be updated to reference 2.1 instead (the latest supported 2.x version):

• microsoft/dotnet:runtime-deps
• microsoft/dotnet:2-runtime-deps
• microsoft/dotnet:runtime
• microsoft/dotnet:2-runtime
• microsoft/dotnet:aspnetcore-runtime
• microsoft/dotnet:2-aspnetcore-runtime
• microsoft/dotnet:sdk
• microsoft/dotnet:2-sdk
• microsoft/dotnet:latest

This is considered to be a breaking change. If you are using any of the above tags, it is recommended that you update to use the new MCR tags (see dotnet/announcements#101). This only affects the old Docker Hub-based tags. Those tags that are referencing MCR (e.g. mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/runtime) are unaffected.
