AWS sagemaker documentation change
Summary
Replaced detailed version support tables and policy explanations with a single link to external GitHub documentation
Security assessment
The change removes all detailed version support information and tables, replacing them with a link to external documentation. There's no mention of security vulnerabilities, patches, or incidents. The removed content included a note about patch versions containing security fixes, but this is simply relocated rather than addressing a specific security issue.

AWS provides ongoing functionality and security updates for supported image versions. New minor versions are released for major versions for 12 months, and supported minor versions receive ongoing functionality and security patches. In some cases, an image version may need to be designated end of support earlier than originally planned if (a) security issues cannot be addressed while maintaining semantic versioning guidelines or (b) any of our major dependencies, like Python, reach end-of-life. AWS releases ad-hoc major or minor versions on an as-needed basis. - -Version | Description | Release cadence | Planned support ----|---|---|--- -Major | Amazon SageMaker Distribution's major version releases involve upgrading all of its core dependencies to the latest compatible versions. These major releases may also add or remove packages as part of the update.

SageMaker Distribution can add new packages during a minor version release. Minor versions are denoted by the second number in the version string, for example, 1.1, 1.2, or 2.1. | 1 month | 6 months -Patch | Amazon SageMaker Distribution's patch version releases include updating all of its core dependencies to the latest compatible patch versions within the same minor version. SageMaker Distribution does not add or remove any packages during a patch version release. Patch versions are denoted by the third number in the version string, for example, 1.1.1, 1.2.1, or 2.1.3. Since patch versions are generally released for fixing security vulnerabilities, we recommend always upgrading to the newest patch version when they become available. | As necessary for fixing security vulnerabilities | Until new patch version is released - -Each major version of the Amazon SageMaker Distribution is available for 18 months. During the first 12 months, new minor versions are released monthly. For the remaining 6 months, the existing minor versions continue to be supported. - -## Supported image versions - -The tables below list the supported SageMaker Distribution image versions, their planned end of support dates, and their availability on SageMaker Studio. For image versions where support ends sooner than the planned end of support date, the versions continue to be available on Studio until the designated availability date. You can continue using the image to launch applications for up to 90 days or until the availability date on Studio, whichever comes first. For more information about such cases, reach out to Support. - -You can migrate to a newer supported version as soon as possible to ensure that you receive ongoing functionality and security updates. When choosing an image version in SageMaker Studio, we recommend that you choose a supported image version from the tables below. - -### Supported major versions - -The following table lists the supported SageMaker Distribution major image versions. -
