description: Akamai versions in the URI path and runs major versions side by side rather than cutting over, so the
  lifecycle signal to watch is the per-product changelog on TechDocs, not a global API version number. Every product
  carries its own dated changelog; there is no single platform-wide release feed. 15 operations across the harvested
  specs are flagged deprecated in the contract itself, all of them in the Linode (Akamai Cloud) API - the EdgeGrid
  specs retire whole versions instead of individual operations.
versioning:
  style: URI path
  parallel_majors: true
  examples:
  - identity-management v1, v2 and v3 all current
  - cloudlets v2 and v3
  - reporting-api v1 and v2
  note: A new major appears at a new path; the old one keeps serving until the product team retires it.

deprecation_policy:
  published: true
  mechanism: 'Per-product changelog entries on techdocs.akamai.com/<product>/changelog announce deprecations and
    end-of-life dates; the OpenAPI descriptions carry `deprecated: true` on retired Linode operations.'
  sunset_headers: false
  note: No RFC 8594 Sunset or Deprecation response headers appear in any of the 58 harvested specs. The signal is
    documentary, not runtime - an agent cannot learn from a response that an operation is going away.
  examples:
  - https://techdocs.akamai.com/edgeworkers/changelog/aug-12-2026-reports-diabled.md - EdgeWorkers report IDs 2
    and 4 disabled
  - https://techdocs.akamai.com/property-mgr/changelog

  published: true
  api: openapi/akamai-technologies-sla-api-v1-openapi.json
  note: Akamai exposes a Service-Level Agreement API (sla-api/v1, 9 operations) so customers can read their own
    SLA measurements programmatically - unusual, and worth noting.
