has been working on for a few releases. The goal is to move in-tree volume plugins to out-of-tree CSI drivers and eventually remove the in-tree volume plugins. The [core CSI Migration](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/tree/master/keps/sig-storage/625-csi-migration) feature moved to GA. CSI Migration for GCE PD and AWS EBS also moved to GA. CSI Migration for vSphere remains in beta (but is on by default). CSI Migration for Portworx moved to Beta (but is off-by-default).
