Hi @TechAUmNu
Correct. The node version must be within 2 updates of the latest to continue receiving ingress. Egress will still work.

So! Here are the upcoming network policy changes:

1. We are going to stop having Tardigrade satellites upload new data to nodes that are two minor releases behind. If you’re running 1.11, but 1.12 is the latest complete rollout (we’re currently rolling out 1.14), then you will continue to get new uploads, but 1.10 and older will not. This is a form of node suspension.
2. We are going to start disqualifying nodes that are 3 minor releases behind. In the above example, 1.10 and older will get DQed. We will also be ensuring that the standard source code release will simply refuse to start if it’s 3 minor releases behind.

The minor release schedule for us is 2 weeks, so, this means storage nodes have 4 weeks to upgrade to the latest release.
