The main themes of this release are:

Cluster API: The Binary Provisioning Agent (BPA) and Kubernetes Deploment (KuD) components have been replaced by Cluster API.

Flux: Declarative day-0 configuration of K8s clusters is provided via Flux version 2.  Day-2 configuration is provided with Flux's GitOps workflows.
