+## Aiven for Caching
+
+**EOL date**: April 30, 2025
+
+### Service impact
+
+- **End of availability (EOA)**: December 31, 2024
+  After this date, you can no longer create new Aiven for Caching services. Existing
+  services continue to operate until the end of life (EOL) date.
+
+- **End of life (EOL)**: April 30, 2025
+  On this date, all active Aiven for Caching services are automatically upgraded
+  to **Aiven for Valkey** to maintain Redis compatibility. Any powered-off Aiven for
+  Caching services are permanently deleted, making data from these services
+  inaccessible.
+
+### Migration options
+
+The recommended alternative to Aiven for Caching is **Aiven for Valkey**. Aiven for
+Valkey is fully compatible with Aiven for Caching, allowing your existing applications
+and workflows to operate without modification. Essential settings, including DNS, URLs,
+ACLs, and user configurations, remain unchanged, ensuring minimal impact on your
+infrastructure and workflows.
+
+For upgrade instructions, see
+[Upgrade from Aiven for Caching to Aiven for Valkey](/docs/products/caching/howto/upgrade-aiven-for-caching-to-valkey).
+
+To ensure uninterrupted service, complete your migration to Aiven for Valkey before
+April 30, 2025. For further assistance, contact the
+[Aiven support team](mailto:[email protected]) or your [sales team](mailto:[email protected]).
