Support for Istio 1.10 ends on December 30th, 2021	Support Announcement	Upcoming Istio 1.10 end of life announcement.	2021-11-19	/news/2021/announcing-1.10-eol

According to Istio's extended support policy, 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, 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 ({{<istio_release_name>}}). 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.
