This includes:\n\n- Upgrades of blockchain client software itself (e.g. an Ethereum upgrade)\n- Updates to Blockchain Node Engine business logic. For example:\n - New features\n - Bug fixes\n - Routine maintenance\n - GKE cluster software updates\n- Maintenance updates on the underlying infrastructure\n\nNode downtime\n-------------\n\nAlthough it is not common, node upgrades can cause downtime from as little as\na minute or less to up to 40 minutes. In some cases, the node pod itself does\nnot need to be restarted and there is no downtime.\n| **Tip:** To avoid downtime, provision multiple nodes across multiple locations to distribute the load.\n\nMaintenance windows\n-------------------\n\nWe plan to provide updates during regular windows as follows; however, there\ncould also be unplanned urgent updates. We will provide as much notice as\npossible."]]
