## Deprecations and Removals

- API

  - The following APIs are no longer served by default:

    - All resources under `apps/v1beta1` and `apps/v1beta2` - use `apps/v1` instead
    - `daemonsets`, `deployments`, `replicasets` resources under `extensions/v1beta1` - use `apps/v1` instead

  - PodSecurityPolicy resources will no longer be served from `extensions/v1beta1` in v1.16. Migrate to the `policy/v1beta1` API, available since v1.10. Existing persisted data can be retrieved via the `policy/v1beta1` API.

done in conjunction with SIG Cloud Provider, is focusing on moving internal APIs that the OpenStack (and other providers) depends upon to staging to guarantee API stability. This work also included abstracting the in-tree Cinder API and refactoring code to the external Cinder provider to remove additional Cinder volume provider code.

Additional work was also done to implement an OpenStack driver for the Cluster API effort lead by SIG Cluster Lifecycle. For the external Cloud-Provider-OpenStack...

* Allow multiple APIs to register for the same API Group ([#28414](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/28414), [@brendandburns](https://github.com/brendandburns))

     * Dynamic Configuration (ConfigMap API in the core API group) enables application
configuration to be stored as a Kubernetes API object and pulled dynamically on
container startup, as an alternative to baking in command-line flags when a
container is built.
     * Turnkey Deployments (Deployment API (Beta) in the Extensions API group)
automate deployment and rolling updates of applications, specified
