  as it requires installation of AzureFile CSI Driver. Users should enable CSIMigration and
  CSIMigrationAzureFile features and install the [AzureFile CSI Driver](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/azurefile-csi-driver)
  to avoid disruption to existing Pod and PVC objects at that time. Azure File CSI driver does not support using same persistent

feature gate is enabled, user should not upgrade to Kubernetes v1.22. vSphere CSI Driver does not support Kubernetes v1.22 yet because it uses v1beta1 CRD APIs. Support for v1.22 will be added at a later release. Check the following document for supported Kubernetes releases for a given [vSphere CSI Driver version](https://vsphere-csi-driver.sigs.k8s.io/compatiblity_matrix.html#compatibility-matrix-for-vsphere-csi-driver).

### Workloads that saturate nodes with pods may see pods that fail...

- This release enables in-tree RBD migration to CSI driver with a couple of feature gates.  These featuregates are alpha in this release.

  - `CSIMigrationRBD`: when enabled, it will redirect traffic from in tree rbd plugin ( kubernetes.io/rbd )  to CSI driver ( rbd.csi.ceph.com) , default to `false` now.
  - `IntreePluginRBDUnregister`: Disables the RBD in-tree driver

  The feature gates can be enabled by:

- Unlocked the `CSIMigrationvSphere` feature gate.
  The change allow users to continue using the in-tree vSphere driver,pending a vSphere
  CSI driver release that has with GA support for Windows, XFS, and raw block access. ([#116342](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116342), [@msau42](https://github.com/msau42)) [SIG Storage]

  General Support for vSphere 6.7 will end on October 15, 2022. vSphere 6.7 Update 3 is deprecated in Kubernetes v1.24.  Customers are recommended to upgrade vSphere (both ESXi and vCenter) to 7.0u2 or above.  vSphere CSI Driver 2.2.3 and higher supports CSI Migration.

* [alpha] Improve Flex volume deployment

  * Flex volume driver deployment is simplified in the following ways:

    * New driver files can now be automatically discovered and initialized without requiring a kubelet or controller-manager restart.

    * A sample DaemonSet to deploy Flexvolume drivers is now available.

    - `apiserver_flowcontrol_demand_seats_high_watermark`: High watermark, over last adjustment period, of demand_seats
    - `apiserver_flowcontrol_demand_seats_average`: Time-weighted average, over last adjustment period, of demand_seats
    - `apiserver_flowcontrol_demand_seats_stdev`: Time-weighted standard deviation, over last adjustment period, of demand_seats

 - Deprecated support for CSI migration of `Ceph RBD volumes`. Users who were relying on Kubernetes' ability
