Server Side Apply (SSA) has been GA since Kubernetes v1.22 (August 2021), and the Kubernetes blog even published a post encouraging everyone to adopt it.

Dynamic Resource Allocation (DRA) recently reached GA in Kubernetes v1.35, and I believe many of us are eager to give it a try. Adding to the momentum, NVIDIA has moved dra-driver-nvidia-gpu into Kubernetes SIGs, with the documentation dropping the Beta label — a sign that the technology and its standards are gradually maturing.
For this post, I borrowed all the NVIDIA GPUs currently available at CNTUG Infra Labs to learn how to elegantly allocate devices and resources with DRA.
ExternalIPs has been part of Kubernetes Service since v1.0. After 11 years, SIG Network has decided to deprecate it starting from v1.36, with plans to lock the feature after v1.43. What happened?
