General question about aspnet core lifecycle. For Context: I am trying to understand/predict what they maintenance cycle would be for a dockerized application that uses microsoft’s asp.net core docker containers.

Example, In my dockerfile, I have FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/aspnet:8.0. If I understand correctly, every time i rebuild the docker container, it checks for latest/pulls latest aspnet 8.0 from microsoft’s container registry. If true, then my question is, how often will the underlying dotnet/aspnet image will be updated by microsoft, and what do I have to do to keep current with latest builds and to make sure prod version is always up to date? Does “long term support” imply that MS will keep providing updates and vulnerability fixes?
