tl;dr - The images.paas registry will implement right-sizing changes during CY25Q3/4 to improve performance, reduce costs, and enhance compliance. Auto-pruning will remove images that do not comply with the new retention policies. Teams must verify the impact of the new policies to ensure business continuity. Please review our Source Blog article for more details.

Key details & actions:

• Pruning policies based on image/tag number and creation date will be implemented.

• Tag-based policies (maximum 30 versions) will roll out on  September 16, 2025.

• Age-based policy investigation will begin CY25Q3, estimated rollout timeframe of November 11, 2025.

• Review your team's images.paas usage and proposed policies.

• Evaluate the impact of this change on your workloads.

• What is the age of the image in use?

• How many versions of the same image are stored?

• How often do you redeploy your application with a new image?

• Set up notifications for pruning events.

• Automate image rebuilds/redeploys.
