The Kubernetes website purged references to two unmaintained network providers archived since 2024 and 2019 respectively, closing a security guidance gap before they could mislead operators.

The docs team yanked Weave Net and Romana from the Install a Network Policy Provider section [1], removing stale alternatives that left clusters vulnerable to unpatched security issues. Weave was archived in 2024 [1], while Romana hasn't shipped updates in five years. In parallel, kops dropped stale test fixtures for privateweave [2] and bumped AWS CNI to 1.23.0 [3], signaling a broader shift away from deprecated networking layers. The CI infrastructure team meantime culled a shared SSH key from 1,647 AWS test jobs [4], replacing it with ephemeral per-cluster keypairs that kubetest2-kops now generates on the fly. In kube-state-metrics, a fix prevents deployment metric collection from panicking when rollingUpdate values are unset [5], hardening metric scrape reliability. All moves trace to operational hygiene: kill dead code, rotate secrets, harden metrics collection.
