On September 15, 2026, all Cloud Composer 1 versions and versions 2.0.x of Cloud Composer 2 will reach their planned end of life. You will not be able to use environments with these versions. We recommend planning migration to Cloud Composer 3. Cloud Composer 2 versions 2.1.x and later are still supported and are not impacted by this change.
