- resource.k8s.io/ResourceClaim (alpha API): The strategic merge patch strategy for the `status.reservedFor` array was changed so that a strategic-merge-patch can now add individual entries. This change may break clients using strategic merge patch to update status, which rely on the previous behavior (replacing the entire array).

  // DOES NOT prevent that port from being exposed. Any port which is
  // listening on the default "0.0.0.0" address inside a container will be
  // accessible from the network.
  // Modifying this array with strategic merge patch may corrupt the data.
  // For more information See https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/108255.
  // Cannot be updated.
  // +optional
  // +patchMergeKey=containerPort
  // +patchStrategy=merge

  // values is an array of string values. If the operator is In or NotIn,
  // the values array must be non-empty. If the operator is Exists or DoesNotExist,
  // the values array must be empty. This array is replaced during a strategic
  // merge patch.
