NSO 6.3 Support Timeline

[ryan-hitch]

Is NSO 6.3 a short lived or long lived release?

The support timeline link stops at 6.2.

Thanks!

Looks like 6.3 is short lived. C'Mon Cisco, I should not have to dig for this - it should be clearly posted with every release.

I found it in the road map video from May Developer Days.

@ryan-hitch, Why the support timeline stop at 6.2, and why the support timeline for 6.3 will be published when 6.4 is released is described by https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/cloud-systems-management/network-services-orchestrator/bulletin-c25-742437.html under the "Cisco NSO Software Support NSO 5.7 and later" section including the two tables under that section, i.e., "Table 8. Cisco NSO Software End-of-Sale and End-of-Life milestones by Long-Lived Release" and  "Table 9. Cisco NSO Software End-of-Sale and End-of-Life milestones by Short-Lived Release".

The NSO support lifecycle is listed on the Product Bulletin site:

Correct. That is the link that I posted in my original question and it says nothing about 6.3 or 6.4 - even though 6.3 has been out since May.

Yes, and the reasons for this are explained in the sections I pointed to I.e., that the support timeline for the 6.3 release will be published when 6.4 is released.
