We are pleased to announce that we will be upgrading the current datapath from version 12.0 to version 12.1 for all WAF-as-a-Service customers who have Let Barracuda manage my datapath version selected within their WAF-as-a-Service account configuration. This process will begin on Sunday10th March 2024.

The upgrade process is fully automated and due to the redundancy built in to WAF-as-a-Service regions there will be no downtime during the rollout.

For those customers who do not to have Let Barracuda manage my datapath version selected, this announcement also begins the notice period for the End of Life of version 12.0 which will be on Sunday 16th June 2024. You are encouraged to upgrade to this version as soon as possible before this date, or select to let us do it for you at the end of February.

This change will not affect any customer who has already manually upgraded to datapath version 12.1.

Please see Barracuda Campus for further information here.

Finally, please note that the legacy North America and West Europe (NA&WE) regions continue to remain on the old version 10.1 datapath and is not affected by this announcement. We will be announcing our deprecation and migration plans for them in the future but, we will continue to operate and support these regions until such time that we make these formal announcements which will start the notice period for their End of Life. In the meantime, if you have no technical reason not to, please continue to migrate your applications to other regions so you can access all the new features we have been releasing for the new datapath versions.
