Explanation

When upgrading NDB and the upgrade includes updates to out-of-the-box (OOB) software profiles (e.g., predefined profiles for database software like PostgreSQL, SQL Server, etc.), NDB manages older versions of these profiles based on their usage. If the older OOB software profiles are not actively in use by any database VMs, NDB automatically deletes all versions of those profiles from its metadata and associated protection domains during the upgrade process. This cleanup mechanism helps maintain a lean and efficient system by removing obsolete profiles that are no longer relevant or required.
