Kubernetes API removals by version

Each Kubernetes minor release can stop serving older API versions. This list covers every release from 1.16 that removed or deprecated an API, plus the next release, whose removals are already scheduled in the source. Open a version to see what replaces each API and when the replacement arrived.

APIs that never appear in a manifest

These are requests to the API server, or objects that components write for themselves. They only matter to code that calls the API.
