# Product Version Life Cycle

## Overview <a href="#overview" id="overview"></a>

NVIDIA Run:ai follows a structured product lifecycle to ensure customers receive regular updates, security patches, and long-term stability for their deployments. This document outlines the support phases for each release version, including the timelines for Full Support and Extended Support.

* **Full Support** - Each version receives critical and important bug fixes.
* **Extended Support** - After the full support period ends, the version continues to receive critical bug fixes.
* **End of Support** - Once a version reaches this stage, it will no longer receive updates, and customers are encouraged to upgrade to a supported version.

## Versions <a href="#versions" id="versions"></a>

The table below details the supported versions of NVIDIA Run:ai, along with their respective support timelines. If your deployment is approaching the end of support, we recommend planning an upgrade to ensure continued security and functionality.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://run-ai-docs.nvidia.com/self-hosted/2.24/support-policy/product-version-life-cycle.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
