Exam SY0-701 topic 1 question 136 discussion

• D. End of life

C. From the CompTIA study guide: End of life - while the equipment or device is no longer sold, it remains supported. End of support - the last date on which the vendor will provide support and/or updates. I'm confused.

A product can reach EOL but it still can be supported by vendor for a certain period of time.

No, I read the question again, and the correct answer is End of Life!!!

End of support comes after End of life. End of life means it's not available anymore, but patches will still be provided.

End of life (EOL): This is the date after which a product will no longer be sold or renewed. However, it might still receive some form of support, such as security patches End of support (EOS): This date marks the complete cessation of all support services for the product. After this date, no new patches, updates or fixes will be released, even for critical vulnerabilities

had to check on this one myself twice.. my answer is - D here is my proof for my selection In the context of the CompTIA SY0-701 (Security+) exam, "end of life" refers to when a specific version of the exam or a related product (like a software or hardware) is no longer officially supported by CompTIA and the manufacturer respectively, meaning no further updates, patches or security fixes will be provided.

End of Support (EOS) means the vendor stops providing help (e.g., customer service or troubleshooting), but updates/patches may still exist. End of Life (EOL) means the device is fully retired, no longer receives updates, patches, or vendor support, and is being decommissioned—which matches the scenario described

the question is about the end of update or patches, hence it means end of support.

C end of support

i think the keywords are 'legacy' and 'decommissioned'

EOL could still receive patches and updates with extended support like Windows does with its operating systems after the newer ones come out. EOS means no more updates or patches and a far more significant security concern.

D is the answer

With EOL the devices may still receive updates or patches, then EOS is the correct answer.

End of Life (EOL) refers to the point at which a product, such as a legacy device, is no longer supported by the manufacturer. This means it stops receiving updates, patches, and other forms of support, which can pose security risks if the device continues to be used.

Dear comptia decommiss yourself

Look for the answers in the textbook, and read the questions with a magnifying glass. "Which of the following describes this scenario?" We are facing the End of Support. "Which of the following describes this device/system?" End of Life, but it is not the case.
