 - When upgrading TiFlash from versions earlier than v6.3.0 to v6.3.0 and later versions, note that the CPU must support the AVX2 instruction set under the Linux AMD64 architecture and the ARMv8 instruction set architecture under the Linux ARM64 architecture. For details, see the description in [v6.3.0 Release Notes](/releases/release-6.3.0.md#others).
 - For detailed compatibility changes of different versions, see the [Release Notes](/releases/release-notes.md) of each version. Modify your cluster configuration according to the "Compatibility Changes" section of the corresponding release notes.
-- For clusters that upgrade from versions earlier than v5.3 to v5.3 or later versions, the default deployed Prometheus will upgrade from v2.8.1 to v2.27.1. Prometheus v2.27.1 provides more features and fixes a security issue. Compared with v2.8.1, alert time representation in v2.27.1 is changed. For more details, see [Prometheus commit](https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/commit/7646cbca328278585be15fa615e22f2a50b47d06) for more details.
