Findings (6)

- file: deploy-manage/deploy/cloud-on-k8s/create-custom-images.md
  line: 56
  category: broken-external-link
  severity: high
  evidence: "(cloud.google.com/redacted) returned 404 (lychee);
    Google Container Registry has been deprecated and replaced by Artifact Registry"
  suggested_fix: |
    replace link with current Artifact Registry documentation, e.g.
    (cloud.google.com/redacted)

- file: deploy-manage/deploy/cloud-on-k8s/_snippets/es-config.md
  line: 11
  category: unsupported-version-mention
  severity: medium
  evidence: "lines 11 and 18 both contain comment 'On Elasticsearch versions before 7.9.0,
    replace the node.roles configuration'; ECK 3.3+ supports only Elasticsearch 8+/9+,
    and ECK 3.0-3.2 requires 7.17+ — pre-7.9 is below every supported range.
    Support matrix: https://www.elastic.co/docs/deploy-manage/deploy/cloud-on-k8s"
  suggested_fix: |
    remove both pre-7.9.0 node.roles fallback comments; the alternative configuration
    they describe is irrelevant for all currently supported Stack versions (8+)

- file: deploy-manage/deploy/cloud-on-k8s/deploy-elastic-maps-server.md
  line: 25
  category: unsupported-version-mention
  severity: medium
  evidence: "line 25 explains a requirement for Maps Server prior to 7.14; line 33
    contains a YAML example with 'version: 7.13'. ECK 3.3+ supports Elastic Maps
    Server 8+/9+ only; 7.13 is below even the ECK 3.0-3.2 minimum of 7.17+.
    Support matrix: https://www.elastic.co/docs/deploy-manage/deploy/cloud-on-k8s"
  suggested_fix: |
    remove or archive the pre-7.14 elasticsearchRef requirement block and the
    version: 7.13 YAML example; update minimum supported version context to 8+

- file: deploy-manage/deploy/cloud-on-k8s/k8s-openshift-anyuid-workaround.md
  line: 13
  category: unsupported-version-mention
  severity: medium
  evidence: "references APM Server behaviour change at version 7.9 and documents an
    anyuid workaround for users on APM < 7.9; ECK 3.3+ supports APM Server 8+/9+
    only — the entire pre-7.9 workaround targets versions below every supported range.
    Support matrix: https://www.elastic.co/docs/deploy-manage/deploy/cloud-on-k8s"
  suggested_fix: |
    remove or archive the pre-7.9 anyuid workaround section; it is irrelevant for
    all currently supported Stack versions

- file: deploy-manage/deploy/cloud-on-k8s/manage-compute-resources.md
  line: 57
  category: unsupported-version-mention
  severity: medium
  evidence: "line 57 introduces the 7.11 heap-size boundary; line 59 gives an
    instruction 'For Elasticsearch before 7.11, set ES_JAVA_OPTS'. ECK 3.3+ supports
    only Elasticsearch 8+, so the pre-7.11 branch targets no supported version.
    Support matrix: https://www.elastic.co/docs/deploy-manage/deploy/cloud-on-k8s"
  suggested_fix: |
    remove the 'For Elasticsearch before 7.11' paragraph; automatic heap sizing
    is always in effect for all supported versions (8+), so only the override
    note is needed

- file: deploy-manage/deploy/cloud-on-k8s/standalone-elastic-agent.md
  line: 20
  category: unsupported-version-mention
  severity: medium
  evidence: "states 'Running standalone Elastic Agent on ECK is compatible only with
    Stack versions 7.10+'; ECK 3.3+ supports standalone Elastic Agent 8+/9+ only —
    the 7.10+ minimum is outdated and could mislead users.
    Support matrix: https://www.elastic.co/docs/deploy-manage/deploy/cloud-on-k8s"
  suggested_fix: |
    update the minimum version statement from 7.10+ to 8+ to match the current
    ECK 3.3+ support matrix

Done when

• Stale content has been refreshed, archived, or annotated as historical.
• Stale screenshots are re-captured.
• Broken external links are replaced with current sources.
• Unsupported-version mentions are removed or moved to upgrade docs.
• A PR addressing this issue is merged.

Notes

• No stale-content or stale-screenshot findings: all 94 in-scope pages were committed within the 24-month threshold and none carry image references.
• OpenShift docs links (403 responses) and GitHub source-repo links containing unresolved {{version.eck}} template variables were omitted — 403s are likely bot-blocking false positives, and template-variable URLs are artifacts of lychee running on unrendered source files rather than actual link rot.
