Edge Node Version Support Announcement

IEF provides one-year maintenance for its versions since their release to ensure stable and reliable connection between your edge nodes and IEF. You are advised to upgrade your edge node software (EdgeCore) before the maintenance period ends.

Version Naming Rule

Edge node software versions use the GNU software version naming rule: major version number.sub-version number.revision version number, for example, 2.22.0.

  • A new major version number indicates a major software upgrade.
  • A new sub-version number indicates that new functions are available to the software.
  • A new revision version number indicates software bug fixes.

Version Support Policy

IEF only maintains the edge node software versions released within one year. Therefore, you are advised to upgrade your edge nodes at least once a year.

Version Upgrade Rule

During edge node upgrade, IEF automatically selects the EdgeCore of the latest version.

For example, if EdgeCore 2.22.0, 2.23.0, and 2.24.0 are available and the EdgeCore version on your edge node is 2.12.0, IEF will push the EdgeCore 2.24.0 to your edge node.

Precautions

  • IEF does not proactively upgrade EdgeCore on your edge nodes. You are advised to upgrade the node manually in the time window with the minimum impact on your services.
  • Upgrading a version within the maintenance period will not interrupt your applications running on the edge node. However, if message routing is used, services may be temporarily affected.
  • Upgrading a version beyond the maintenance period may temporarily interrupt services due to container restart.
  • Do not change node configurations during the node upgrade, such as restarting Docker, installing or uninstalling the GPU/NPU driver, upgrading the OS kernel, or modifying network configurations, which may result in node upgrade failures.
