Currently Deployments have inconsistent behaviour in how the terminating Pods are handled based on the rollout strategy. This KEP introduces a new `.spec.podReplacementPolicy` with which users can configure this behaviour. This is similar to the `spec.podReplacementPolicy` in the Job spec and allows users to define if the Deployment should wait for its Pods to terminate before creating new Pods or if it should create them immediately. + +This KEP is tracked for alpha in the ongoing v1.32 release. + +## Other Merges + +* The [`NestedNumberAsFloat64` method converts `int64` values to `float64`](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127838) when accessing numbers in unstructured objects +* Assert the flag behavior on [kube-proxy using unit test](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127810) +* API impact verification: Added a new [-b flag for explicitly requesting build checks](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127802) +* DRA Scheduler: [mock workqueue for controller unit test](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127789) +* Prevent a race condition from causing erroneous volume unmounts for flex volume plugins on [kubelet restart](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127669) +* [Use generics for Workqueue metrics](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127635) +* `kubectl apply --server-side` now supports [`--subresource`](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127634) +* In [`TestCoreResourceEnqueue`](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127607), verify whether Pods are requeued to the `activeQ` after specific cluster events are triggered +* [Fixed: `TestPersistentVolumeProvisionMultiPVCs`](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127260) +* [MVP cleanup #2](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122957) +* New Tests: [dra helper function](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127870), [`TestGenerateLinuxContainerResources`](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125103), [VolumeGroupSnapshot](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126326) +* The scheduler adds `QueueingHint` in the [VolumeBinding plugin's CSIDriver event](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125171) +* [`system-reserved-compressible` and `kube-reserved-compressible` to set only compressible (e.g. CPU) type resources](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125982) on system and kube reserved slice respectively +* Reduce memory usage/allocations during wait for [volume attachment](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126575) + +## Version Updates + +After increasing golang versions to [1.23.1](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127611) and [1.22.7](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127600), **revert** [back to 1.23.0](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127861) until the question of alternate architectures is resolved.
