| 5 | + For Go-based, Helm-based and Ansible-based operators this release moves to Kubernetes 1.30 API's and Kubebuilder |
| 6 | + v4 Scaffolding, specifically utilizing the v4.1.1 version. The update to Kubebuiler results in some scaffolding |
| 7 | + changes which more information can be found below: |
| 8 | + - Discontinue usage of [kube-rbac-proxy](https://github.com/brancz/kube-rbac-proxy) in the default |
| 9 | + scaffolding of new projects. For further information, |
| 10 | + see: [Action Required: Ensure that you no longer use gcr.io/kubebuilder images](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/discussions/3907) |
| 11 | + - The `go/v2` or `go/v3` layouts have been removed, you must upgrade to `go/v4` to be compatible with this release and future updates. |
| 12 | + To know how to upgrade,check the [migration documentation](https://book.kubebuilder.io/migration/v3vsv4). |
| 13 | + - Re-introduces authn/authz protection for the metrics endpoint using [`WithAuthenticationAndAuthorization`](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/controller-runtime/blob/v0.18.4/pkg/metrics/filters/filters.go#L35) |
| 14 | + provided by controller-runtime instead of kube-rbac-proxy; which usage was [discontinued in the project](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/discussions/3907). |
| 15 | + Please, ensure that you no longer use the image `gcr.io/kubebuilder/kube-rbac-proxy`. Images provided under `gcr.io/kubebuilder/` will be unavailable from **March 18, 2025**. |
| 16 | + To learn more about any of the metrics changes please look at the Kubebuilder book [metrics](https://book.kubebuilder.io/reference/metrics) page. |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | + For `Helm-based` and `Ansible-based` operators, a new flag called `metrics-require-rbac` was introduced into the runtime/binary, to control adding |
| 19 | + [`WithAuthenticationAndAuthorization`](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/controller-runtime/blob/v0.18.4/pkg/metrics/filters/filters.go#L35) |
| 20 | + to `Metrics.FilterProvider` of controller-runtime. This was done to ensure forwards and backwards compatibility of the binary and images with any scaffolded content. |

| 48 | + This update has a lot of scaffolding changes due to the removal of [kube-rbac-proxy](https://github.com/brancz/kube-rbac-proxy), |
| 49 | + if these migrations become difficult to follow, it might be beneficial to scaffold a net new sample project to compare. |
