For example, consider a cluster with a long-running deployment, workload-never-dies, all on Kata version 2.1.3 components. If the operator updates the Kata components to the next new minor release (i.e. 2.2.0), we need to guarantee that the 2.2.0 -runtime still communicates with 2.1.3 agent within workload-never-dies. +shimv2 runtime still communicates with 2.1.3 agent within workload-never-dies. Handling live-update is out of the scope of this document. See this [`kata-runtime` issue](https://github.com/kata-containers/runtime/issues/492) for details.
