Alternative is to use CephFS CSI driver (https://github.com/ceph/ceph-csi/) in your Kubernetes Cluster. A re-deployment of your application is required to use the new driver if you were using `kubernetes.io/cephfs` volume plugin before upgrading cluster version...

### SIG Network

The main milestones for SIG Network this release are the graduation of IPVS-based load balancing and CoreDNS to general availability.
