+As [previously announced](/news/support/announcing-1.22-eol/), support for Istio 1.22 has now officially ended.
+
+At this point we will no longer back-port fixes for security issues and critical bugs to 1.22. We highly recommend that
+you upgrade to the latest version of Istio ({{<istio_release_name>}}) if you haven't already.
