Overview

RAPIDS is deprecating CUDA 11.4 and CUDA 11.5 containers effective its v23.04 release. RAPIDS will plan to EOL these containers in a future release (currently targeting v23.06), at which point CUDA 11.4 and CUDA 11.5 containers will no longer be published.

Impact

Once these containers reach EOL (currently targeting v23.06 release), RAPIDS will no longer publish these containers. Note that conda packages will still support CUDA 11.4 and CUDA 11.5 due to CUDA Enhanced Compatibility.
