Elasticsearch minors live about six months — 9.1, 9.2 and 9.3 are already end of life — but the LAST minor of each major gets the long tail: 8.19 is supported to July 15, 2027, outliving three 9.x releases. Elasticsearch 7 ended January 15, 2026 and is in the CISA KEV catalog. Every version's date, Elastic's actual policy, and which line to be on.
