ifeval::["{release-state}"!="released"]
NOTE: This documentation is for {es} {version}, which is not yet released. The
above compatibility table only applies if the local or remote cluster is running
a released version of {es}. A local cluster running a pre-release build of {es}
can also communicate with remote clusters running the same pre-release build.
Running a mix of pre-release builds is unsupported and typically will not work,
even if the builds are the same version.
