The `node` images come in many flavors, each designed for a specific use case.
All of the images contain pre-installed versions of `node`,
[`npm`](https://www.npmjs.com/), and [`yarn`](https://yarnpkg.com). For each
[`npm`](https://www.npmjs.com/), and [Yarn v1 Classic](https://classic.yarnpkg.com/). For each
supported architecture, the supported variants are different. In the file:
[versions.json](./versions.json), it lists all supported variants for all of
the architectures that we support now.
See [Yarn v1 Classic bundling](#yarn-v1-classic-bundling) for future plans to
remove this legacy version.

This project will support Node.js versions as still under active support as per the [Node.js release schedule](https://github.com/nodejs/Release).

## Yarn v1 Classic bundling

[Yarn v1 Classic](https://classic.yarnpkg.com/) is currently bundled in `node` image
variants. Because Yarn v1 is [frozen](https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn) and no longer maintained,
bundling plans have been revised.

As of Node.js 26.0.0 it is planned to no longer bundle Yarn v1 into `node` images.
For lower versions of Node.js (<26) `node` images will continue to bundle Yarn v1.

Users with legacy requirements for Yarn v1 under Node.js 26 and above may be able
to follow [Yarn v1 installation instructions](https://classic.yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install)
and install using `npm install --global yarn`.
