Like arrays, slices are always one-dimensional but may be composed to construct
higher-dimensional objects.
With arrays of arrays, the inner arrays are, by construction, always the same length;
however with slices of slices (or arrays of slices), the inner lengths may vary dynamically.
Moreover, the inner slices must be initialized individually.

  
  Users who maintain controllers which relied on the fact that pods with RestartPolicy=Always
  never enter the Succeeded phase may need to adapt their controllers. This is because as a consequence of 
  the change pods which use RestartPolicy=Always may end up in the Succeeded phase in two scenarios: pod 

- When the `PreferSameTrafficDistribution` feature gate is enabled, a new `trafficDistribution` value `PreferSameNode` is available, which attempts to always route Service connections to an endpoint on the same node as the client. Additionally, `PreferSameZone` is introduced as an alias for `PreferClose`.
