It stands for Earlier Deployment

Early Deployment (ED)


Software releases that provide new features and new platform support in addition to bug fixes

I little bit more information about this is that everything is ED until it has reached a maturity and stability level sufficient to be declared GD.

General Deployment ("GD") A release train designated as GD is appropriate for deployment at all points within the customer's network. The criteria used for declaring a release train GD is based on, but not limited to, time elapsed since the initial release of the train, customer feedback, quality trends over time and other field-reported data. Once a release train achieves GD status, no new feature or platform additions are planned for the release train. In addition, all future maintenance releases of that release train will meet the GD criteria.
