+## Overview
+
+RAPIDS `v26.02` will be the final release to publish `rapidsai/miniforge-cuda` images.
+
+## Impact
+
+If you're using `rapidsai/miniforge-cuda` ([DockerHub link](https://hub.docker.com/r/rapidsai/miniforge-cuda)) in situations where pulling a prebuilt image is preferred to building your own, switch to `rapidsai/ci-conda` ([DockerHub link](https://hub.docker.com/r/rapidsai/ci-conda)).
+
+If `rapidsai/ci-conda` does not meet your needs, consider using `nvidia/cuda` images together with `micromamba` (https://mamba.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation/micromamba-installation.html).
+
+```shell
+docker run \
+  --rm \
+  --gpus all \
+  -it nvidia/cuda:13.1.0-devel-ubuntu24.04 \
+  bash
+
+if [[ "$(arch)" == "x86_64" ]]; then
+  micromamba_platform="linux-64"
+else
+  micromamba_platform="linux-aarch64"
+fi
+curl -Ls https://micro.mamba.pm/api/micromamba/${micromamba_platform}/latest | tar -xvj bin/micromamba
+
+micromamba shell init
+source ~/.bashrc
+
+micromamba activate base
+micromamba install \
+    -c rapidsai \
+    -c conda-forge \
+    rapids
+```
