  • Generally Available (GA) releases of active products are supported under standard maintenance approximately for a year. The standard support period and end of life policy covers ā€œNāˆ’2ā€ versions, which means, at any given time, HashiCorp maintains the current version (ā€œNā€) and the two previous versions (ā€œNāˆ’2ā€).

  • Long-Term-Support (LTS) releases offers extended maintenance through minor releases for select, major Vault Enterprise releases. The latest 2 LTS releases are supported at any given time, following a N-1 policy.

Since Vault has 3 releases every year, this results in approximately 1 year of standard maintenance, followed by one year of extended maintenance for the LTS releases.

Maintenance Levels

  • Standard Maintenance includes new features, bug fixes, and security patches.
  • Extended Maintenance (only availble for LTS releases for Vault Enterprise customers) only includes patches for bugs that may cause outages and critical vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs).

Versioning and Release Cadence

A major release is identified by a change in the first (X) or second (Y) digit in the following versioning nomenclature: Version X.Y.Z. Vault typically has 3 major releases every year. LTS releases overlap by one year, allowing upgrade time for Enterprise customers. Upgrading from version LTS to LTS+1 may require transitional upgrades to move through the intermediate Vault versions.

More information is available on the Hashicorp Vault website.

You should be running one of the supported release numbers listed above in the rightmost column.
