Support lifecycle policy
IBM Cloud Pak® for Business Automation adheres to a Continuous Delivery Lifecycle Policy (CDLP).
Cloud Pak for Business Automation uses a numbering scheme to make it easier for you to identify the age of your installed version. Instead of the traditional version.release.modification.fix numbering scheme, versions start with the year it is released in, and end with the new number of the update package for that year. For example, 24.0.0 refers to a Long-Term Service Release (LTSR) in 2024. By comparing the version numbers, you can easily calculate the age of your installation.
Cloud Pak for Business Automation uses a continuous delivery support model to provide new functions and enhancements more frequently, along with security updates and defect fixes. For more information, see https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7157023.
