AWS lightsail: Lightsail blueprint EOL notices updated to past tense
Summary
Updates end-of-support notices for Amazon Linux 2, Debian 11, openSUSE Leap 15, and SQL Server 2016 Express to reflect that support has ended, that new instances can no longer be created, and that existing instances/snapshots are unaffected.
Security assessment
The change is lifecycle/EOL wording for OS blueprints. Running end-of-support images means no further security patches, which is security-adjacent hardening context, but the diff itself only updates dates and availability statements rather than documenting a specific vulnerability or control.
Evidence
+Amazon Linux 2 reached End of Long Term Support on June 30, 2026. You can no longer create new Lightsail instances with this blueprint. Existing instances and snapshots are not affected; you can keep using them and can still create new instances from snapshots. For more information, see the [Amazon Linux 2 website](https://aws.amazon.com/amazon-linux-2/faqs/).
