@abhinavg6 abhinavg6 requested a review from a team as a code owner December 27, 2023 20:07
For both cases above, such updates are applied to the whole **Dedicated Cloud** fleet in batches, and we can not exclude a particular instance from the process. Customers with **Self-managed** instances are responsible to manage such updates on their own schedule. Refer to [release support and end of life](#release-support-and-end-of-life).

## Release support and end of life
We officially support server releases from last six months. This should not affect the **Dedicated Cloud** instances as we update those as part of the release process. But customers with **Self-managed** instances should ensure that they're updating their deployment(s) with the latest release when possible. Staying on a version older than six months would mean that they have limited to no means of support.

We may benefit from adding something similar to this into the actual contract itself.

Yeah, that would be a separate thing later. For now I want to get it into the docs.
