Official providers have two relevant release numbers:
- Provider release, for example,
provider-aws:v0.17.0
- Custom Resource Definition (CRD) API version, for example
v1beta1
Upbound releases new providers to provide bug fixes and enhancements. Provider versions follow standard semantic versioning (semver) standards of <major>
.<minor>
.<patch>
numbering.
Major version changes have significant changes to provider behavior or breaking changes to general availability CRD APIs.
Minor version changes expand provider capabilities or create breaking changes to alpha
or beta
CRD APIs. Minor versions never change general availability CRD APIs.
Patch version changes are bug fixes. Provider capabilities and CRD APIs aren’t changed between patch versions.
Official providers are available to all paid Upbound customers. Support for official providers follows the same support model for other Upbound components.
More information is available on the support page.
