our devops guy is on leave till end of Nov, what will happen if we don't update before 2 Dec? will all our pipelines be broken? or we can continue to use it till a later time?

Hi @haotan5 and welcome to the community!

The blog post has been updated with a new section about the impact in case you don't update. I am quoting from the blog post:

What happens if I don’t upgrade?

• Starting December 2nd, any steps running on outdated versions of the Runner will no longer be able to interact with the Pipelines file-storage infrastructure.
• This will mean that steps utilising Artifacts or Caches on these runner versions will no longer function.
• Steps that are not using those features may still function correctly in some situations, but should be assumed to be unstable and no longer supported.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Kind regards,
Theodora
