Skyline Lifecycle Policy – Video Platform
This article provides information about the lifecycle of Skyline Technology Solutions’ Video Platform/products. The lifecycle indicates when versions were released and the different phases of support through end of life.
Last modified: 1/1/2023
Cause:
As products pass their end of potential and are no longer useful to our customers, or have become antiquated, these products are sunset towards their End of Life.
Resolution:
Skyline Technology Solutions’ Lifecycle process flows through several stages:
Stage | Description |
General Availability | The product version is being sold, actively developed, supported, and generally available. This does not include any preview versions or versions in testing. |
End of General Support | End of general support is 12 months from the “General Availability” date. Products/versions are no longer sold. See matrix of general versus best effort support. |
End of Best Effort Support | End of best effort support is 6 months from “End of General Support”. Products/versions are no longer sold. See matrix of general versus best effort support. |
End of Life | End of Life is 18 months from product “General Availability”. Product/version is no longer receiving any new features or security updates and are not eligible for any form of support. They are no longer sold, improved, maintained, or supported. |
