Metrics Server Support Policy

Open shazib-summar opened this issue 2 years ago • 6 comments

Hello just wanted to know the currently supported versions of Metrics Server for production envs. I went through the docs and couldnt find anything related to the support policy.

Would really appreciate any guidance. Thanks :heart:

AFAICT we do backports on a case-by-case basis, are you facing issues with the latest release in your prod. env?

I'm not using metrics server right now, but would like to know which one would be supported at any given time. Should I assume that generally that only the latest version will be supported at any given time? As you mentioned the backports are on a case to case basis.

hey @rexagod any update on this? If you can kindly provide with the support policy I'll be more than happy to create a PR to add it in the readme

The compatibility matrix can be found here: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/metrics-server/blob/master/README.md?plain=1#L71-L79.

@rexagod hey thanks for replying. I meant the support policy or the end of life policy that describes how long a release will be supported. By supported i mean how many releases receive bug fixes in addition to the latest one.

Here's the support policy for Prisma Cloud as a reference: https://docs.prismacloud.io/en/classic/compute-admin-guide/welcome/support-lifecycle#prisma-cloud-supported-versions-policy

Prisma Cloud has an 'n-2' support policy, which means the current release ('n') and the previous two releases ('n-1' and 'n-2') receive support.
