 > Protected configuration settings for an extension instance are stored for up to 48 hours in the Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes services. As a result, if the cluster remains disconnected during the 48 hours after the extension resource was created on Azure, the extension changes from a `Pending` state to `Failed` state. To prevent this, we recommend bringing clusters online regularly.

-The most recent version of the Flux v2 extension and the two previous versions (N-2) are supported. We generally recommend that you use the [most recent version](extensions-release.md#flux-gitops) of the extension.
+The most recent version of the Flux v2 extension (`microsoft.flux`) and the two previous versions (N-2) are supported. We generally recommend that you use the [most recent version](extensions-release.md#flux-gitops) of the extension.

+Starting with [`microsoft.flux` version 1.7.0](extensions-release.md#170-march-2023), ARM64-based clusters are supported.
