+***************************
+Network Operator Versioning
+***************************
+
+NVIDIA Network Operator is versioned following the calendar versioning convention.
+
+The version follows the pattern ``YY.MM.PP``, such as 25.1.0, 24.10.0, and 24.10.1.
+The first two fields, ``YY.MM`` identify a major version and indicates when the major version was initially released.
+The third field, ``PP``, identifies the patch version of the major version.
+Patch releases typically include critical bug and CVE fixes.
+
+***************************
+Network Operator Life Cycle
+***************************
+
+When a major version of NVIDIA Network Operator is released, the previous major version enters maintenance support
+and only receives patch release updates for critical bug and CVE fixes.
+All prior major versions enter end-of-life (EOL) and are no longer supported and do not receive patch release updates.
+
+The product life cycle and versioning are subject to change in the future.
+
+.. note::
+
+    - Upgrades are only supported within a major release or to the next major release.
