### Expanding existing distributed setup

MinIO supports expanding distributed erasure coded clusters by specifying new set of clusters on the command-line as shown below:

```sh
export MINIO_ROOT_USER=<ACCESS_KEY>
export MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD=<SECRET_KEY>
minio server http://host{1...n}/export{1...m} http://host{o...z}/export{1...m}
```

feature, you might need to take some action immediately after upgrading. In multi-tenant clusters where not all users are trusted, you are advised to create appropriate quotas for two default priority classes, system-cluster-critical and system-node-critical, which are added to clusters by default. `ResourceQuota` should be created to limit users from creating Pods at these priorities if not all users of your cluster are trusted. We do not advise disabling this feature because critical system Pods rely...

[https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/49213](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/49213) sig-cluster-lifecycle has decided to phase out the cluster/ directory over the next couple of releases in favor of deployment automations maintained outside of the core repo and outside of kubernetes orgs. ([@kubernetes/sig-cluster-lifecycle-misc](https://github.com/orgs/kubernetes/teams/sig-cluster-lifecycle-misc))

    * Remove deprecated ContainerVM support from GCE kube-up.  ([#58247...

However, while we chose to use the xDS *transport protocol*, we chose to not use the xDS resource types, such as Clusters and Listeners.
In our experience and testing, these types force us to represent data in inefficient ways because they are general purpose.
Ztunnel is not general purpose; it has an extremely tight goal.

declaratively. It handles versioning, multiple simultaneous rollouts,
aggregating status across all pods, maintaining application availability, and
rollback.
  * <strong>Automated cluster management: </strong>
     * Kubernetes clusters can now span zones within a cloud provider. Pods from a
service will be automatically spread across zones, enabling applications to
tolerate zone failure.

- kubeadm - Feature-gates HighAvailability, SelfHosting, CertsInSecrets are now deprecated and can no longer be used for new clusters. Cluster updates using above feature-gates flag is not supported.
