Hello @atiratree, 1.29 Enhancements team here! Is this enhancement targeting 1.29? If it is, can you follow the instructions here to opt in the enhancements and make sure the lead-opted-in label is set so it can get added to the tracking board? Thanks!

Title suggestion: “Declarative node maintenance”

(all KEPs are implicitly improvements, or at least they aim to be)

[atiratree]

Thanks for the suggestion. I have updated the title and the KEP.

@npolshakova this still needs to be discussed with all the interested sigs before we can target this.

this has been discussed and the KEP still needs some work and additional discussions, so we will try to target this for the next release
