Alpine Floating Tags Updated to Alpine 3.19 for .NET 7 and .NET 8

In last month's January servicing release, Alpine 3.19 container images were published. Today, for the February servicing release, we've updated Alpine floating tags for .NET 7 and .NET 8 so that they target Alpine 3.19 instead of Alpine 3.18. This update follows our tagging policy.

Also, per the .NET Docker platform support policy, Alpine 3.18 images (the previous Alpine version) for .NET 7 and 8 will no longer be maintained starting on May 14th, 2024.

Due to an issue with PowerShell on Alpine 3.19 with .NET 6, the Alpine floating tag for .NET 6 still points to Alpine 3.18. We plan to delay moving the .NET 6 Alpine floating tag to 3.19 until that issue is resolved (we will wait until one month after images are available and fully functioning to allow for testing). If your use of the Alpine SDK image doesn't rely on PowerShell, you can opt-in to Alpine 3.19 using the version specific tag (e.g. 6.0-alpine3.19). For more info please see the following issue: PowerShell/PowerShell#20945.

Details

Please review the Alpine 3.19 changelog for more details on changes that were made in this version of Alpine.

The affected floating tags use this naming pattern:

• <version>-alpine (e.g. 8.0-alpine, 7.0-alpine)
• <version>-alpine-<arch> (e.g. 8.0-alpine-amd64, 7.0-alpine-amd64)

The following Docker repos have been updated:

• dotnet/sdk
• dotnet/aspnet
• dotnet/runtime
• dotnet/runtime-deps
• dotnet/monitor
