Supported Releases & Features

Check which release versions are actively supported using this guide.

Pachyderm lists the status for each release and feature, so that you can understand expectations for support and stability.

Supported Releases #

Pachyderm supports the latest Generally Available (GA) release and the previous two major and minor GA releases. Releases three or more major and minor versions back are considered End of Life (EOL).

Releases Under Development #

A release under development may undergo several pre-release stages before becoming Generally Available (GA). These pre-releases enable the Pachyderm team to do development and testing in partnership with our users before a release is considered ready for a Generally Availability (GA).

alpha > beta > Release Candidate (RC) > Generally Available (GA)

Release Status #

Alpha #

alpha releases are a pre-release version of a product, intended for development and testing purposes only. alpha releases include many bugs and unfinished features, and are only suitable for early technical feedback. alpha releases should not be used in a production environment.

Beta #

beta releases are a pre-release version of a product, intended for development and testing purposes only, and include a wider range of users than an alpha release. beta releases should not be used in a production environment.

Release Candidate (RC) #

Release Candidate or RC releases are a pre-release version of a product, intended for users to prepare for a GA release. RC releases should not be used in a production environment.

Generally Available (GA) #

Generally Available or GA releases are considered stable and intended for production usage.

End of Life (EOL) #

End of Life or EOL indicates the release will no longer receive support.

Supported Features #

Stable #

stable indicates that the Pachyderm team believes the feature is ready for use in a production environment.

Experimental #

experimental indicates that a feature has not met the Pachyderm team’s criteria for production use. Therefore, these features should be used with caution in production environments. experimental features are likely to change, have outstanding defects, and/or missing documentation. Users considering using experimental features should contact Pachyderm for guidance.

Deprecated #

deprecated indicates that a feature is no longer developed. Users of deprecated features are encouraged to upgrade or migrate to newer versions or compatible features. deprecated features become End of Life (EOL) features after 6 months.

End of Life (EOL) Features #

End of Life or EOL indicates that a feature is no longer supported.
