Error means any reproducible failure of the Software to perform any material function as set forth in the Documentation.

Long Term Support (LTS) Release means a Software release that Nutanix commits to maintain and support for longer than other releases, to provide greater stability to customers who have longer new feature adoption cycles. In general, an LTS Release is a Maintenance Release and will contain very few (if any) new features and builds upon a mature and proven AOS codebase which customers have been successfully running in their production environments. An LTS release will be designated “LTS” as part of the Software version number. Any release that is not designated as LTS will be deemed to be an STS Release.

Maintenance means the provision of LTS Releases and STS Releases by Nutanix.

Maintenance Release. The number in the “Z” position in the Software version number indicates a Nutanix Software release as a Maintenance Release. A new Maintenance Release has a number of bug fixes and generally does not include new features.

Maintained means that Nutanix will provide Updates that have workarounds and bug fixes for Errors but will not provide Upgrades.

Short Term Support (STS) Release means a Software release that shall receive Troubleshooting for three (3) months from the Release Date of the next Release that is an Upgrade. The intent of an STS is to allow rapid feature adoption.

Patch Release. The “n” position in the Software version number identifies a Software release as Patch Release. A Patch Release typically has a smaller number of bug fixes than a Maintenance Release. Nutanix may limit the distribution of some Patch Releases.

Release means either an LTS Release or an STS Release.

Release Date means the date a new Upgrade or Update is generally made available.

Software means any Nutanix software licensed to customers as for commercial purposes.

Nutanix Software Products Life Span Terms:

About Version Numbers

Nutanix software version numbers are numbered according to the following policy.

“XYZn (LTS)”

  • “X” is the major release version number
  • “Y” is the minor release version number
  • “Z” is the version number of the maintenance release
  • “N” is the patch release version number

The version number may end with the string LTS.
If LTS is not specified, it will be STS. Details of LTS and STS will be described later.

LTS and STS

Nutanix defines two different support periods: Long Term Support (LTS) and Short Term Support (STS).
LTS is literally a long-term maintained version, and STS is a short-term maintenance version of the software.
In addition, the definition of this support period varies depending on the software, and some software does not have the distinction of LTS/STS.

EOL policy for each software

The EOL stage has a maintenance window and a troubleshooting window.

Maintenance: Period during which bug fixes, etc. are supported, but upgrades are not performed
Troubleshooting: Period during which telephone support and security patches are provided as necessary

AOS

LTS

  • Will be maintained for 3 months after the next LTS release version is released
  • Troubleshoot for 6 months after the maintenance period ends

STS

  • Troubleshoot for 3 months after the next LTS release version is released

*AOS EOL policy includes AHV, Foundation, Nutanix Cluster Check (NCC), etc.

Prism Central

  • No distinction between LTS/STS
  • Will be maintained until the next version is released
  • Troubleshoot for 3 months after the maintenance period ends

Nutanix Files

  • No distinction between LTS/STS
  • It will be maintained for 3 months after the next version is released
  • Troubleshoot for 12 months after the next version is released

Nutanix Objects

  • No distinction between LTS/STS
  • It will be maintained for 3 months after the next version is released
  • Troubleshoot for 12 months after the next version is released

Software release interval

Also, Nutanix seems to release software at the following intervals.
It is divided into 3 stages and each has the following definitions.

Upgrades: Minor or Major Release
Updates: Maintenance Releases or Patch Releases
Patch Releases: Fewer bug fixes than Maintenance Releases

AOS

Division Interval
upgrade STS every 3-6 months, LTS every 12-15 months
update Every 4-6 weeks
Patch release If necessary

Prism Central

Division Interval
upgrade Every 3-6 months
update Every 4-6 weeks
Patch release If necessary

Nutanix Files

Division Interval
upgrade Every 3-6 months
update Every 4-6 weeks
Patch release If necessary

Nutanix Objects

Division Interval

Nutanix divides the version by LTS and STS to distinguish the release frequency.

STS is an image of operating a stable version for a while to a certain extent , while increasing the release frequency and making revisions in a short period of time to implement the latest features .
