note: >-
  ACI's API lifecycle is the product lifecycle. There is no independently versioned API to deprecate: the
  contract is the object model of the installed APIC release, so "API deprecation" for ACI means a managed
  object class or property changing between release trains, announced in the per-release "Changes in
  behavior" section of the release notes rather than in an API changelog.

  name: Cisco End-of-Life Policy
  detail: >-
    Cisco operates a formal, company-wide End-of-Sale / End-of-Life policy with published milestone dates —
    End-of-Sale, End of Software Maintenance, End of Vulnerability/Security Support, Last Date of Support —
    announced in an EoL notice ahead of each milestone. Product-specific notices for the APIC are listed at
    the EoS/EoL notice page.

  http_headers:
    sunset: false
    deprecation: false
    detail: >-
      No RFC 8594 Sunset header and no Deprecation header are emitted or documented. Deprecation is
      communicated as product documentation, not as a runtime signal an agent can read.
sunset_header: false
deprecated_operations: []
deprecated_operations_note: >-
  Cannot be derived — there is no OpenAPI carrying deprecated:true. Behavioral changes and removals are
  listed per release in the "Changes in behavior" section of each APIC release note.
status_page:
  published: false
  detail: >-
    No status page applies. status.cisco.com exists but is "Cisco Cloud Status Tools", covering Cisco's
    hosted cloud services; ACI is customer-operated infrastructure with no Cisco-run control plane to report
    on. No StatusPage pointer was emitted — asserting one would credit Cisco with an availability surface
    this product does not have.
  probed:
  - url: https://status.cisco.com/
    status: 200
    finding: Cisco Cloud Status Tools — no ACI/APIC component listed.
sla:
  published: false
  detail: >-
    No public API SLA. Availability is governed by the customer's own fabric design (the APIC is deployed as
    a cluster of three or more controllers) and by their Cisco support contract tier, not by a published
    uptime commitment.
