What versions are supported by community?
I have found the Confluent EOL schedule, but I have not been able to find the EOL schedule for Apache Kafka. Does such a policy exist?
Best Regards,

Hi,
There's a wiki page regarding Kafka's release policy:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Time+Based+Release+Plan
And regarding the EOL: "Given 3 releases a year and the fact that no one
upgrades three times a year, we propose making sure (by testing!) that
rolling upgrade can be done from each release in the past year (i.e. last 3
releases) to the latest version. We will also attempt, as a community to do
bugfix releases as needed for the last 3 releases."
This is not exactly what you meant by "supported by the community", but in
general we only try to release bug fixes for the last 3 releases, hope this
can help with your planning.

To my knowledge, such policy/practice does not exist for the Apache Kafka
project.
From time to time certain environments and tool support like Java and Scala
versions have been deprecated and dropped but o don’t think this applies to
Kafka versions
Bug and security fixes are typically applied to recent major and patch
versions
