the reasoning in itself is slightly vague. Maybe add a link to the directive which has that support statement and links to the ECH branch

NGINXaaS is now running NGINX Plus 37.0 (PLS.37.0).

NGINXaaS for Google Cloud deployments have been automatically upgraded to NGINX Plus 37.0 (PLS.37.0). Please review the [NGINX Plus Release 37.0]({{< ref "/nginx/releases/#pls.37.0.2" >}}) Release Notes carefully. Please note that HTTP/1.1 is now the default protocol for upstreams, and keepalive is enabled by default for HTTP/1.1 upstreams. Additionally, due to the new upstream histogram metric, zone memory requirements have increased by 25%.

  • Is that increase in zone requirement permanent or is there a way, i.e., a customer always has to do so or is there a way to turn off that behavior?
  • Do we have official documentation from NGINX as well around it?
  • What happens if a customer does not follow the zone requirement guidance and goes with it anyway? do they get errors, does their traffic still work or prone to hit those errors?

https://github.com/nginx/documentation/pull/2121/changes based on this PR, it looks like the customer always has to do so .

NGINXaaS for Google Cloud deployments have been automatically upgraded to NGINX Plus 37.0 (PLS.37.0). Please review the [NGINX Plus Release 37.0]({{< ref "/nginx/releases/#pls.37.0.2" >}}) Release Notes carefully.

Additionally, due to the new upstream histogram metric, zone memory requirements have increased by 25%.

NGINX Plus 37.0 (PLS.37.0) introduces new configuration directives and changes to existing directives. NGINXaaS for Google Cloud does not support the `ssl_ech_file` directive. For more information, review the unsupported directives listed in [Disallowed configuration directives]({{< ref "/nginxaas/google/deploy/nginx-configuration/overview/#disallowed-configuration-directives" >}}).

As I am reading through this doc and https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/releases/#intro, a question comes up on what a user will get as part of NGINXaaS. Is it the LTS release or CR model?
