# v1.9.8

## What’s New (Major Themes)

### Cloud Provider Labels reach General Availability

Added as a beta feature way back in v1.2, v1.17 sees the general availability of cloud provider labels.

### Volume Snapshot Moves to Beta

- PodSecurityPolicy objects now support a `MayRunAs` rule for `fsGroup` and `supplementalGroups` options. This allows specifying ranges of allowed GIDs for pods/containers without forcing a default GID the way `MustRunAs` does. This means that a container to which such a policy applies to won't use any fsGroup/supplementalGroup GID if not explicitly specified, yet a specified GID must still fall in the GID range according to the policy.

- Fixed a bug in the TopologyManager. Previously, the TopologyManager would only guarantee alignment if container creation was serialized in some way. Alignment is now guaranteed under all scenarios of container creation. ([#87759](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/87759), [@klueska](https://github.com/klueska)) [SIG Node]
