Technology preview features may be functionally incomplete, and the function as implemented is subject to change without notice. *DO NOT DEPLOY FEATURES MARKED AS BEING IN TECHNOLOGY PREVIEW INTO A PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT.* You are encouraged to test drive technology preview features in a non-production environment, and are welcome to make comments and suggestions about the features. ForgeOps doesn't guarantee that a technology preview feature will be present at a future time. The final complete version of the feature is liable to change between preview and the final version. Technology previews are provided on an "as is" basis for evaluation purposes only, and Ping Identity accepts no liability or obligations for the use thereof. | | Evolving | All features that are not in technology preview, legacy, deprecated, or removed status are considered to be *evolving*. Evolving features might change at any time, even in backwards-incompatible ways. Evolving features in the `forgeops` repository might or might not be supported.
