Lifecycle Status of Application Versions
The applications that Instaclustr offers a service for come in many different versions. This document lists all of the Application Versions, and their corresponding Lifecycle State. This state corresponds to the level of support that Instaclustr provides for clusters running these versions. For a detailed description and explanation of Lifecycle States, please read our Lifecycle Policy page.
Instaclustr will make every effort to give you appropriate notice when modifying the expected date of transition for any application, and under normal circumstances will not bring forward any date of transition. We may transition applications early and without prior notice in situations involving a Critical Vulnerability or an issue in a version of an application that has documented risks to cluster stability. In these situations, we will document below the original transition date, as well as the revised transition date and an explanation.
