<p>
A <i>block</i> is a possibly empty sequence of declarations and statements
within matching brace brackets.

Block = "{" StatementList "}" .
StatementList = { Statement ";" } .

<p>
In addition to explicit blocks in the source code, there are implicit blocks:

### OpenStack

In this cycle, SIG OpenStack focused on configuration simplification through smarter defaults and the use of auto-detection wherever feasible (Block Storage API versions, Security Groups) as well as updating API support, including:

*   Block Storage (Cinder) V3 is now supported.
*   Load Balancer (Octavia) V2 is now supported, in addition to Neutron LBaaS V2.
*   Neutron LBaas V1 support has been removed.

* The Local Volume Plugin has been updated to support Block volumeMode PVs. With this change, it is now possible to create local volume PVs for raw block devices. ([#59303](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/59303), [@dhirajh](https://github.com/dhirajh))

([#63176](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/63176), [@bswartz](https://github.com/bswartz))

- local: support local filesystem volume with block resource reconstruction ([#84218](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/84218), [@cofyc](https://github.com/cofyc))

* Added block volume support to Cinder volume plugin. ([#64879](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/64879), [@bertinatto](https://github.com/bertinatto))
* Provided API support for external CSI storage drivers to support block volumes. ([#64723](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/64723), [@vladimirvivien](https://github.com/vladimirvivien))

enforce limits, it only monitors consumption. To utilize this functionality, set the feature gate `LocalStorageCapacityIsolationFSQuotaMonitoring=true`. For ext4fs filesystems, create the filesystem with `mkfs.ext4 -O project <block_device>` and run `tune2fs -Q prjquota `block device`; XFS filesystems need no additional preparation. The filesystem must be mounted with option `project` in `/etc/fstab`. If the primary partition is the root filesystem, add `rootflags=pquota` to the GRUB config file. ...
