## What breaks

From 14 Oct 2026, the container images are removed, which prevents new pulls, installation, redeployment, scaling, replacement, and disaster recovery. The containerized SAP data connector retired on September 14, 2026 and is unsupported and unmaintained. Existing TLS-compliant agents may continue sending logs through the retired HTTP Data Collector API.
