"Ubuntu \& Debian Based Image Version Clusters \| Google Cloud"

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** Rollout of sub-minor versions without pre-configured channels begins on June 22, 2026. Before August 25, 2026, these versions won't be selected by default unless you pin your image versions. You can use the pre-August 25, 2026 period to test and verify your workloads on the new images. After August 25, 2026, the non-configured versions will become the default.

Google Managed Service for Apache Spark uses Ubuntu, Debian, and Rocky Linux image versions
to bundle operating system, big data components, and Google Cloud connectors
into one package that is deployed on a cluster. For more information, see
[Managed Service for Apache Spark Versioning](https://docs.cloud.google.com/managed-spark/docs/concepts/versioning/overview.md.txt).

Notes:

- Managed Service for Apache Spark image versions are supported for 24 months after their initial release.
- Generally, Managed Service for Apache Spark image versions are available for 24 months after their end-of-support date, but an availability period can shorten if an image support date is extended.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** On August 25, 2026, 1.x and 2.0 image versions will become unavailable for use in creating clusters (see "Available until" dates in [unsupported image versions](https://docs.cloud.google.com/managed-spark/docs/concepts/versioning/image-version-lists.md.txt#unsupported-image-versions)). To avoid cluster creation issues, obtain the benefits of the latest features, and qualify for Google support, [recreate and update existing clusters](https://docs.cloud.google.com/managed-spark/docs/guides/recreate-cluster.md.txt) to use the latest [supported image versions](https://docs.cloud.google.com/managed-spark/docs/concepts/versioning/image-version-lists.md.txt#supported-image-versions).

## Default Managed Service for Apache Spark image version

Managed Service for Apache Spark updates the default image version to the latest
generally available Debian-based Managed Service for Apache Spark
after its General availability (GA) release date.

## Supported Managed Service for Apache Spark image versions

Managed Service for Apache Spark prevents the creation of clusters with image versions
prior to 1.3.95, 1.4.77, 1.5.53, and 2.0.27, which were affected by
[Apache Log4j security vulnerabilities](https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/security.html)
Managed Service for Apache Spark also prevents cluster creation for Managed Service for Apache Spark image versions 0.x, 1.0.x, 1.1.x, and 1.2.x.
Managed Service for Apache Spark advises that, when possible, you create Managed Service for Apache Spark
clusters with the latest sub-minor image versions. See the
[Managed Service for Apache Spark release notes](https://docs.cloud.google.com/managed-spark/docs/release-notes.md.txt)
for specific image and `log4j` update information.

### Debian images

The following **Debian-based** image versions are supported in Managed Service for Apache Spark
clusters. Note that new clusters will be created to include any sub-minor patches
that have been made to a version since its release.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> When creating a Debian-based cluster, you can omit the image version OS Distribution Code suffix, for example by specifying `2.3` to select the `2.3-debian12` image. The OS suffix **must** be used to select a Rocky Linux or Ubuntu-based image, for example by specifying `2.3-ubuntu22`. See [Selecting versions](https://docs.cloud.google.com/managed-spark/docs/concepts/versioning/overview.md.txt#select_versions) for image selection examples.

## Unsupported Managed Service for Apache Spark image versions

> [!IMPORTANT]
> [Click this link](https://docs.cloud.google.com/static/managed-spark/docs/concepts/versioning/check-unsupported-dataproc-clusters.sh) to download a script you can run to check if your project or organization is using an unsupported Managed Service for Apache Spark image.

The following Managed Service for Apache Spark versions are unsupported.
Managed Service for Apache Spark does not provide updates and support for clusters created with these versions. Versions 1.x and 2.0 will reach end-of-life on August 25, 2026. If you are running on unsupported versions, you need to upgrade your clusters to supported images.
