To reduce the overall complexity and maintenance burden of GitLab's [object storage feature](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/object_storage.html), support for using `background_upload` to upload files is deprecated and will be fully removed in GitLab 15.0.
This impacts a small subset of object storage providers:
- **OpenStack** Customers using OpenStack need to change their configuration to use the S3 API instead of Swift.
- **RackSpace** Customers using RackSpace-based object storage need to migrate data to a different provider.
GitLab will publish additional guidance to assist affected customers in migrating.

### Deprecate support for Debian 9
Long term service and support (LTSS) for [Debian 9 Stretch ends in July 2022](https://wiki.debian.org/LTS). Therefore, we will longer support the Debian 9 distribution for the GitLab package. Users can upgrade to Debian 10 or Debian 11.
