 # About Kubernetes' version skew policy
 
-When we upgrade our Kubernetes clusters, we upgrade the k8s control plane (k8s
-api-server etc.), the cloud providers managed workloads (`calico-node` etc.),
-and the k8s node's software (`kubelet` etc.). Since these upgrades aren't done
-at the exact same time, there are known constraints on how the various versions
-can [_skew_] in relation to each other.
+Kubernetes clusters' software running on various machines and is designed to
+work even when various components gets upgraded independently of each other as
+long as the components don't get too mismatching versions.
 
-When we upgrade, we are practically constrained by [Kubernetes' version skew
-policy] in the following ways:
+The tolerated mismatch of versions between software components in a k8s cluster
+is called the supported _version skew_, and Kubernetes provides a [version skew
+policy] about this.
+
+Practically for us, we need to know that:
 
 1. Highly available clusters' control planes can only be upgraded one minor
    version at a time (`api-server` requirement).
 
-   All of our new clusters and most of our old clusters are regional, so our
-   documentation assumes we need to respect this constraint.
+   All of our new clusters and most of our old clusters are highly available, so

 2. Nodes' k8s version must not be newer than the control plane, and be at most
    three minor versions older (`kubelet` requirement).
