The deprecation policy that applies to Compute Engine is defined in
Google Cloud's [terms of service (section 1)](https://cloud.google.com/terms/) as
*Discontinuation of Services* . The deprecation policy only applies to the
[features and services listed here](https://cloud.google.com/terms/deprecation).

After Google deprecates a Compute Engine feature, the feature is
available for at least the period of time defined in the [terms of
service](https://cloud.google.com/terms/). After this period of time, Google schedules the feature or
service for shutdown.

The following table lists Compute Engine's feature deprecations and
their shutdown schedule.
