Release Lifecycle
This page summarizes the support lifecycle for every cluster base release. For the full on-prem end-of-life policy, and definitions of Fully Supported, End of Support (EOS) and End of Life (EOL) see the End-of-Life Policy document.
caution
Plan upgrades so that your cluster stays on a Fully Supported base version. Once a version reaches End of Life it might not support a direct upgrade to the latest version, so upgrade your deployment before it becomes EOL. Refer to the individual release pages for upgrade paths and prerequisites.
