Bitnami, a Broadcom-owned project that provides pre-packaged, ready-to-run application stacks (images), making it easy to deploy popular open-source software or Kubernetes tools on various containerized platforms, shook the tech world, especially within the open-source community.
In an unexpected and highly controversial move that caught everyone off guard, Bitnami announced that it is making changes to its public container catalog, and for many developers, it’s going to hurt.
Starting August 28, 2025, the long-standing Docker Hub repository at “docker.io/bitnami” will undergo a staged shutdown, with brownouts scheduled before the final deletion on September 29.
I just have a redis helm chart from them. Wondering if anyone else offers one. Nothing huge relying on it- just a need for a couple apps and that was there.
Can always keep the old images in my cache I suppose.
Probably either wait for some other provider to build helm charts, roll your own k8s YAML for Redis based on the helm chart and with standard Redis OCI images, or migrate to a different, but compatible service like DragonflyDB if you don’t need modern Redis features (not suggesting Valkey because they are also entrenched in Bitnami and offer it as the official chart source).
Another db would be fine. Just a normal memcache. I could definitely build my own- was just nice having fail over in an easy to use chart.
Thanks for the tip on dragonfly.
