Fuse 7 End of Support Notice for June 2024

Updated -

What’s happening?

Application Development is evolving as the modern Hybrid Cloud and cloud-native architectures drive new demands on applications. As a part of this continual evolution, we are evolving our product offering from Red Hat Fuse to the Red Hat build of Apache Camel, allowing us to address a broader set of customer deployment use cases.

Red Hat Fuse 7 will reach the end of maintenance support in June of 2024. After this date, customers wishing to continue to receive support for Fuse 7 will need to purchase an Extended Life Cycle Support (ELS) subscription. There will be no further releases of Fuse 7. Only selected critical bug fixes and CVE fixes will be provided under ELS, in consistency with Red Hat’s published Middleware Support Policy.

What are my options?

To receive continued comprehensive support, bug fixes and CVE fixes, customers are encouraged to upgrade to the latest versions of Red Hat Build of Apache Camel at their earliest convenience.
Under Red Hat Application Foundations we offer support for a number Camel 3 products:

  • Camel Extensions for Quarkus
  • Camel for Spring Boot
  • Camel K

Red Hat Application Foundations further includes frameworks and capabilities for designing, building, deploying, connecting, safeguarding, and scaling cloud-native applications. Some of the key features included in Application Foundations are
Application and API connectivity

  • Real-time messaging and data streaming
  • Enterprise Integration
  • Data transformation
  • Red Hat Runtimes, to develop cloud-native applications
  • Single sign on
  • Change data capture

Red Hat recommends planning a migration ahead of time and following the respective migration guides to understand the most relevant changes between Fuse 7 and Camel 3.

Support for the Fuse 7 Karaf and EAP runtimes are dropped in Red Hat build of Apache Camel in favor of supporting Quarkus and Spring Boot, which are more suitable for building cloud native applications.
