Versioning and support

This topic covers the versioning scheme and support policy for Next-Gen Trust Security Kubernetes components.

Semantic versioning

Palo Alto Networks follows Semantic Versioning 2.0.0, with a v prefix on Docker image tags: v<major>.<minor>.<patch>. For example, v1.20.1.

Each part of the version number represents a type of change:

  • <major>: Incompatible API changes or significant new functionality that breaks backward compatibility.
  • <minor>: New functionality that is backward-compatible.
  • <patch>: Backward-compatible bug fixes or minor enhancements. Critical bugs and vulnerabilities are fixed in patch versions of supported releases.

Patch version upgrades do not contain breaking changes or changed behavior. Minor versions introduce new features in a backward-compatible manner, while major versions may include changes that are not backward-compatible, clearly indicated.

Enterprise support

Palo Alto Networks provides enterprise support for the Next-Gen Trust Security Kubernetes components following the official Legal Agreements.
