Snyk Docker Desktop extension
The Snyk Docker Desktop extension will no longer be supported starting June 20, 2025. After this date, the extension will no longer receive updates or technical support. Until June 20, 2025, updates for this integration will only address known high-severity security vulnerabilities.
Recommended alternative
To avoid disruptions, Snyk recommends transitioning to scanning your container images using the Snyk CLI. This provides enhanced functionality, flexibility, and performance.
End of life features
A feature can also be the subject of an end-of-life event, meaning that the feature or capability impacted by this process ceases to exist and is removed from the product and public documentation.
API endpoints have a dedicated section for the end of life process and also provide details about the migration steps. Navigate to the API End of Life process and migration guides for more details.
