ClickHouse® versioning policy
ClickHouse® employs the frequent release policy. Managed Service for ClickHouse® offers a limited set of ClickHouse® versions: 24.3 LTS, 24.8 LTS, 24.9 or 24.10.

Updating to current versions allows you to get new features, patches, and security fixes, which improves the overall stability of the cluster.
Each ClickHouse® version supported by Managed Service for ClickHouse® undergoes comprehensive testing.
After updating to a new supported version of ClickHouse®, your data remains safe and accessible.
Version support policy
Managed Service for ClickHouse® uses two types of ClickHouse® versions:
-
LTS (Long-Term Support).
The LTS version support period is 12 months, with new versions released every 6 months.
Two LTS versions are supported: the current one and the previous one.
When a new LTS version is released in Managed Service for ClickHouse®, the oldest available one stops being supported.

When a new interim ClickHouse® version is released in Managed Service for ClickHouse®, the oldest interim version stops being supported.
You can manually change the cluster version to one of the supported versions.
