Prophecy versions support

This page describes the Prophecy versioning system, version types, and version lifecycles.

Release version system

The following table shows details of the different Prophecy version types.

Version typeExampleFrequency (approx.)End-of-support
Extended Maintenance (EM) releasev3.4.1.0 EMEvery four monthsAfter one year
Majorv3.4.0.0Every four monthsAfter six months
Minorv3.3.11.0Every three weeksAfter six months
Patchv3.3.11.7When neededAfter six months

Extended Maintenance release

Extended Maintenance (EM) releases provide you with a long-term support Prophecy version, along with the following benefits:

  • Upgraded third party libraries for robust security posture
  • Full performance and scale testing to check resource guidance
  • Direct upgrade path from a previous EM release to the next one
  • One year of technical support and hotfixes for critical issues

You can expect a new Extended Maintenance release two to six weeks after each Major release.

Required resources

Starting with v3.4.1.0 EM, SQL Sandbox is enabled, so every SQL Pipeline session will spin up an additional pod with the following configuration:

  • CPU: 500m
  • Memory: 512Mi

After upgrading to 3.4.1, you must enable SQL Sandbox Config in the UI by navigating to the Sandbox Config tab in the Config sub tab of the Admin Settings.

"sqlSandboxPoolSize" must be set to a minimum of 2. This parameter determines the number of pods that are kept in a ready state. You will need additional SQL Sandbox resources for each simultaneous user session.

Prophecy support lifecycles

The following table describes the support stages for Prophecy versions. Prophecy supports GA versions for six months, unless the version is an Extended Maintenance (EM) release, which Prophecy supports for one year. For information on supported Prophecy versions, see Version Chart.

Workloads on unsupported Prophecy versions may continue to run, but Prophecy doesn't provide support or fixes.
