+Overview
+========
+This page describes the support policy for the AWS DynamoDB Encryption Client. We regularly provide the AWS DynamoDB Encryption Client with updates that may contain support for new or updated APIs, new features, enhancements, bug fixes, security patches, or documentation updates. Updates may also address changes with dependencies, language runtimes, and operating systems.
+
+We recommend users to stay up-to-date with DynamoDB Encryption Client releases to keep up with the latest features, security updates, and underlying dependencies. Continued use of an unsupported SDK version is not recommended and is done at the user’s discretion.
+
+
+Major Version Lifecycle
+========================
+The AWS DynamoDB Encryption Client follows the same major version lifecycle as the AWS SDK. For details on this lifecycle, see  `AWS SDKs and Tools Maintenance Policy`_.
