## AI overview

Laravel Vapor is deprecating several native runtimes because PHP 7.3 and 7.4, along with Amazon Linux 1 images, no longer receive security updates. New environments can no longer use the affected runtimes, and existing environments will lose deployment support on December 31, 2023. The article recommends upgrading applications to newer PHP versions and supported AL2 runtimes.
