Long-Term Support for Production FreeBSD
LTS for FreeBSD by Klara gives organizations more control over their upgrade timeline with a maintained baseline for FreeBSD 14 or 15. Klara manages critical security fixes, selected errata, and the update workflow so production systems can remain on a defined baseline longer.
What LTS for FreeBSD Provides
LTS is built around fixed support terms of 3, 5, or 7 years per major FreeBSD version. Coverage includes FreeBSD 14 or 15 on amd64 and arm64.
- Security: Backported FreeBSD security advisories, critical and high-severity fixes, CVE impact analysis, mitigation guidance, and selected Tier 1 ports coverage.
- Stability: Selected errata and critical ZFS, networking, data-integrity, and stability fixes, with fewer behavioral changes to the maintained baseline.
- Support: Ticket and email support, documentation, impact analysis, and optional response-time commitments.
Who Is LTS for FreeBSD Designed For?
LTS for FreeBSD is designed for organizations that need to keep production systems secure and supported without qualifying a new FreeBSD point release every few months.
It is a good fit for:
- Appliance and infrastructure teams with long validation cycles.
- Regulated environments where upgrades require certification, compliance review, or formal change control.
- Organizations with controlled or air-gapped systems that need a documented update path.
- Teams that need a defined support commitment instead of taking ownership of patches after a release reaches EoL.
