  1. ARO version 4.12 support EOL changed from October 19, 2024 to July 17 2024 to align with OCP updates:

[0]https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/openshift/support-lifecycle#azure-red-hat-openshift-release-calendar
[1]https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/openshift

  1. the important column in [0] shows below statement:
    Starting with ARO version 4.12, the support lifecycle for new versions will be set to 14 months from the day of general availability.

Request:
This is causing confusion in customers and they complained below:

This document is so confusing for customer .

if [July 17 2024] is correct ,could you please request concerned team to change [14 months]description
if [October 19, 2024 ]is correct , could please update the date in the public document.

  1. please help delete the [14 months] description if possible.
  2. if not possible to rectify [14 months] column can we add some explanation to why 4.12 GA and EOL is showing 11 months in between.

any update please?

Also for version 4.13 and 4.14 we can see full support period is approx 11 months and 12 months, not 14 months.
4.13: 2023/12/5 to 2024/11/17
4.14: 2024/4/25 to 2025/5/1

Can we delete the 14 months statement to avoid confusion or some explanation can be added to say how this 14 months is being calculated.

Hello, let me jump into this. There seems to be a mistake in the table.
ARO4.14 Upstream release date should be October 2023 rather than October 2024. (it's future)

The date being incorrect is fixed in #122465

We are working on updating the docs and table to be more clear about the dates. There will be a minimum of 14 months from the time the version is available as an upgrade. Which is some time before it is available as an installable version.
