ELTS
Abbreviation for Extended Long-Term Support
In short and in plain language
ELTS is a longer time of support.
In it, software can still get security fixes after its normal end.
Such offers often cost money.
What matters is how long the version in use gets fixes.
Definition
ELTS describes an extended support period in which software can keep receiving security fixes after its regular end. Such programmes are often paid. For operations it matters until when a version in use receives fixes.
