## Release Types

OpenCloud offers three release types to suit different needs: **Rolling**, **Production**, and **LTS**. For most users, Rolling is ideal, providing the **latest features** every few weeks. Production focuses on **stability**. LTS (Long-Term Support Release) is designed specifically for businesses that need longevity and extended **backports**.

### Advantage of the LTS Releases

With LTS, businesses can continue using an older production release without needing to upgrade to the latest version, while still **receiving critical security patches** and **critical stability fixes**. This makes LTS the perfect choice for organizations seeking a **stable long-term** solution. LTS is available exclusively to customers with a service and support entitlement through a business license.
