--- title: Support for Istio 1.10 ends on December 30th, 2021 subtitle: Support Announcement description: Upcoming Istio 1.10 end of life announcement. publishdate: 2021-11-19 aliases: - /news/2021/announcing-1.10-eol --- According to Istio's [extended support policy](/blog/2021/extended-support/), minor releases like 1.10 are supported until six weeks after the N+2 minor release (1.12 in this case). [Istio 1.12 was released on November 18th](/news/releases/1.12.x/announcing-1.12/), and support for 1.10 will end on December 30th, 2021. At that point we will stop back-porting fixes for security issues and critical bugs to 1.10, so we encourage you to upgrade to the latest version of Istio ({{}}). If you don't do this you may put yourself in the position of having to do a major upgrade on a short timeframe to pick up a critical fix. We care about you and your clusters, so please be kind to yourself and upgrade.
