    Typically one new minor version, n, each quarter, plus patch releases within each minor.
  api_versioning: >-
    Independent of the product version: the Kubernetes CRD groups carry their own apiVersion
    (v2 for the stable groups, v2alpha1 for InsightsConfig, ExternalWorkload,
    ProgressiveDelivery, SpireRegistrationEntry and VirtualServiceBackup; v1 for
    extauth.solo.io and v1alpha1 for ratelimit.solo.io/install.istio.io).

  product: n-3
  istio_distribution: n-4
  description: >-
    Solo supports n-3 for Gloo Mesh (Gloo Platform APIs) and n-4 for Solo distributions of
    Istio. When a new minor version is released, the previous n-4 (n-5 for Solo Istio) becomes
    unsupported. The n+1 beta on the main branch is not supported.

  sunset_header: false
  description: >-
    Removal is announced per release. Each release-notes page carries explicit
    "Breaking changes" (graded High / Medium / Low), "Removed features" and "Known issues"
    sections, and the changelog offers a version-to-version comparison so a consumer can see
    exactly when a change landed. There is no HTTP Sunset/Deprecation header surface because
    the API is a Kubernetes CRD surface, not an HTTP endpoint.
  current_removals:
    - item: Istio 1.27 support
      note: >-
        Removed in the release following 2.14 per the release notes; the version support
        matrix is the authority for what a given Gloo Mesh minor still supports.

  description: >-
    Published five-stage CVE process (Inbound, Tracking, Analysis, Remediation, Reporting).
    All CRITICAL and HIGH CVEs are tracked; MODERATE/LOW are tracked when materially
    impactful. Security scan results for product images are published in the product
    documentation with each release, and Solo.io supports customer FedRAMP scan-response
    obligations.
status_page: null
status_page_note: >-
  None. status.solo.io does not resolve (DNS failure on probe, 2026-09-12), and no status or
  uptime page is linked from solo.io, the docs or the support pages. This is consistent with
  the delivery model: Gloo Mesh runs in the customer's own Kubernetes clusters, so there is no
  Solo-operated production plane whose uptime could be reported. The one Solo-operated
  endpoint in this record, the Docs MCP server at search.solo.io/mcp, has no status page either.

  note: >-
    Support is contractual and tiered through Solo Support rather than a published uptime SLA.
    Support scope and legacy-version support are documented at
