NVIDIA GPU Operator is versioned following the calendar versioning convention.
The version follows the pattern YY.MM.PP, such as 23.6.0, 23.6.1, and 23.9.0.
The first two fields, YY.MM identify a major version and indicates when the major version was initially released.
The third field, PP, identifies the patch version of the major version.
Patch releases typically include critical bug and CVE fixes, but can include minor features.
When a major version of NVIDIA GPU Operator is released, the previous major version enters maintenance support and only receives patch release updates for critical bug and CVE fixes. All prior major versions enter end-of-life (EOL) and are no longer supported and do not receive patch release updates.
The product life cycle and versioning are subject to change in the future.
Note
- Upgrades are only supported within a major release or to the next major release.
| GPU Operator Version | Status |
|---|---|
| 24.9.x | Generally Available |
| 24.6.x | Maintenance |
| 24.3.x and lower | EOL |
