Because +VyOS is run on standard amd64, i586 and ARM systems, it is able to be used +as a router and firewall platform for cloud deployments. + +We use multiple live versions of our manual hosted thankfully by +https://readthedocs.org. We will provide one version of the manual for every +VyOS major version starting with VyOS 1.2 which will receive Long-term support +(LTS). + +The manual version is selected/specified by it's Git branch name. You can +switch between versions of the documentation by selecting the appropriate +branch on the bottom left corner. + +VyOS CLI syntax may change between major (and sometimes minor) versions. Please +always refer to the documentation matching your current, running installation. +If a change in the CLI is required, VyOS will ship a so called migration script +which will take care of adjusting the syntax. No action needs to be taken by +you. -- cgit v1.2.3
