As documented here, flocker plugin was deprecated in 1.22: |
Flocker storage plugin removed from k8s codebase. Flocker, an early external storage plugin in k8s, has not been in maintenance and their business is down. As far as I know, the plugin is not being used anymore. This PR removes the whole flocker dependency and codebase from core k8s to reduce potential security risks and reduce maintenance work from the sig-storage community.

Flocker storage plugin removed from k8s codebase.
Flocker, an early external storage plugin in k8s,
has not been in maintenance and their business is
down. As far as I know, the plugin is not being
used anymore.
This PR removes the whole flocker dependency and
codebase from core k8s to reduce potential security
risks and reduce maintenance work from the sig-storage community.
The flocker API, per k8s api policy, will not be removed. Whenever user tries to create PV using the inline flocker API, the following event will show in the pod:
