Hi Guys,
I am trying to understand how long a service pack is supported by Microsoft. As per this link, looks like its supported 12 months after the release of the next services pack.
But when I look at life cycle page , it looks like Microsoft has released security patch for SQL Server 2016 SP1 well past the 12 months end of life period after the release of the next SP.
SQL Server 2016 SP1 Release date - 2016-11-16
SQL Server 2016 SP2 Release date - 2018-04-24
2016 SP1 end of life should have been 12 months after SP2 was released which would put the end of life an 2019-4-24, but it looks like Microsoft has released security patch after 24 April 2019 as per https://sqlserverbuilds.blogspot.com/
Is that normal?
