The certified container images with the following software stacks are already updated and available for Jelastic customers:

This namespace migration will open the doors to the upcoming features, enhancements, and other major updates we can expect going forward. Jelastic’s fast adoption of these changes will make this functionality cloud-friendly, scalable, and easily available to our extensive global user community.”
