Kubernetes v1.36: User Namespaces in Kubernetes are finally GA

DRANK

After several years of development, User Namespaces support in Kubernetes reached General Availability (GA) with the v1.36 release. This is a Linux-only feature. For those of us working on low level container runtimes and rootless technologies, this has been a long awaited milestone. We finally reached the point where "rootless" security isolation can be used for Kubernetes workloads. This feature also enables a critical pattern: running workloads with privileges and still being confined in the user namespace.
