Definitions

Pre-Release
This is a three- or four-week period prior to the general availability of the next major release (21R1, 21R2, etc.). During this period, customers can explore the new features in a Vault based on their production Vault configurations.
PODs
POD stands for “point of delivery”. In simple terms, think of them as the Vault application servers where each Vault is hosted. To confirm your POD, you can log into your Vault as an administrator and navigate to Admin > Settings > General Settings and look at the POD field.
