Microversions
=============
API v2.1 supports Microversions. User uses Microversions to discover the
supported API version in the cloud. If cloud is upgraded to support newer
versions, it will still support all older versions to maintain the backward
compatibility for users using older versions. Also user can discover new
features easily with Microversions, then user can take all the advantages of
current cloud.
API v2.1 supports Microversions: small, documented changes to the API. A user
can use Microversions to discover the latest API version supported in their
cloud. A cloud that is upgraded to support newer versions will still support
all older versions to maintain the backward compatibility for those users who
depend on older versions. Users can also discover new features easily with
Microversions, so that they can benefit from all the advantages and
improvements of the current cloud.
There are multiple cases which you can resolve with Microversions:
Legacy v2 API user with new cloud
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
=================================
The minimum version of Microversions is `2.1`, this is a version compatible
with legacy v2 API. The legacy v2 API user don't need to worry about that his
old client is broken with new cloud deployment. Cloud operator don't need to
worry that upgrading cloud to newer versions will break any user with old
client.
The minimum version of Microversions is `2.1`, which is a version compatible
with the legacy v2 API. The legacy v2 API user doesn't need to worry that their
older client software will be broken when their cloud is upgraded with new
versions. And the cloud operator doesn't need to worry that upgrading their
cloud to newer versions will break any user with older clients that don't
expect these changes.
