[DEPR-2U] Node 18 - edx-platform

[timmc-edx]

2U followup ticket.

• Original: [DEPR]: Node 18 - edx-platform openedx/edx-platform#35015
• Didn't see a precise date on the original, but it sounds like Axim is targeting December for removal.

This will need a PR in edx/configuration repo to upgrade the Node version. For reference, this was created last time to upgrade the Node version to 18, openedx-unsupported/configuration#7153

Tasks

Beta Give feedback

1. Create a sandbox with the configuration branch to test Node 20
2. After testing on the sandbox, merge the PR to deploy it on stage, production, and edge.

@jristau1984 Should this go to Arbi-BOM?

[jristau1984]

I have moved this to Arbi-BOM.

The Configuration upgrade PR is currently blocked by Axim and is scheduled to be merged after December.

FYI, we've dropped the Node 18 testing in edx-platform now that it's December, per the deadline in the DEPR.
