* The NamespaceExists and NamespaceAutoProvision admission controllers have been removed. ([#31250](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/31250), [@derekwaynecarr](https://github.com/derekwaynecarr))

on average) and rapid updates to pod configuration should take effect sooner.
  
  A new metric `kubelet_known_pods` has been added at ALPHA stability to report the number of pods a Kubelet is tracking in a number of internal states.  Operators may use the metrics to track an excess of pods in the orphaned state that may not be completing.

- [Namespaced Brokers](https://svc-cat.io/docs/namespaced-broker-resources/), which enable operators to install a broker into a namespace instead of the cluster level, reached GA.
- The [Service Plan Defaults](https://svc-cat.io/docs/service-plan-defaults/) feature is in alpha and is under active development. This feature gives operators the ability to define defaults for when someone provisions a service.

### API Change

- A new field `omitManagedFields` has been added to both `audit.Policy` and `audit.PolicyRule` 
  so cluster operators can opt in to omit managed fields of the request and response bodies from

## MinIO Deployment on Kubernetes

There are multiple options to deploy MinIO on Kubernetes:

- MinIO-Operator: Operator offers seamless way to create and update highly available distributed MinIO clusters. Refer [MinIO Operator documentation](https://github.com/minio/minio-operator/blob/master/README.md) for more details.
