cleanup: Remove flocker volume plugins from k8s codebase #111618
Conversation
/milestone v1.25 |
As documented here, flocker plugin was deprecated in 1.22: |
Flocker storage plugin removed from k8s codebase. Flocker, an early external storage plugin in k8s, has not been in maintenance and their business is down. As far as I know, the plugin is not being used anymore. This PR removes the whole flocker dependency and codebase from core k8s to reduce potential security risks and reduce maintenance work from the sig-storage community.
