description: >-
  Versioning, deprecation, lifecycle, and status posture across the Red Hat API
  portfolio. Red Hat versions APIs per product via URI-path major versions
  (v1/v2/v3.1); the company's broader software lifecycle (Full Support ->
  Maintenance -> Extended Life) is governed by the published product life cycle
  policy rather than per-endpoint Sunset headers.
versioning:
  scheme: uri-path
  examples:
    - https://console.redhat.com/api/inventory/v1
    - https://api.openshift.com/api/clusters_mgmt/v1
    - https://api.openshift.com/api/assisted-install/v2
    - https://console.redhat.com/api/sources/v3.1
    - https://api.access.redhat.com/management/v1
  docs: https://developers.redhat.com/api-catalog
  notes: >-
    Each Hybrid Cloud Console service carries its own major version in the path.
    OpenShift itself follows Kubernetes-style versioned API groups (apiVersion).
deprecation:
  policy_url: https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata
  product_life_cycle: https://access.redhat.com/product-life-cycles
  sunset_header: false
  notes: >-
    Deprecations are communicated through product release notes and the product
    life cycle pages (Full Support / Maintenance Support / Extended Life phases),
    not via RFC 8594 Sunset/Deprecation HTTP headers. RHEL Lightspeed Planning
    (apis.yml roadmap API) exposes machine-readable EOL/lifecycle dates.

  notes: >-
    Uptime commitments for managed services (ROSA, OpenShift Dedicated, etc.) are
    defined in the applicable service agreements; Red Hat does not publish a
    single numeric uptime SLA for all APIs.
