## Deprecate The onboarding path for Managed Cloud Service Mesh with asmcli is deprecated as of August 22, 2024, and support will end in February 2025\. This change affects only Google Cloud clusters. Any off-Google Cloud clusters will continue to use asmcli. To ensure this transition is as smooth as possible, use the [gcloud](https://cloud.google.com/service-mesh/docs/onboarding/provision-control-plane) or Cloud Console onboarding paths when creating new clusters before February 2025.
