Breaking Changes

• Removed support for Ceph Quincy (v17) since it has reached end of life. Reef (v18) and Squid (v19) are the currently supported Ceph versions.
• Rook has removed CSI network "holder" pods. If there are pods named csi-plugin-holder- in the Rook operator namespace, see the detailed documentation to disable them before upgrading to v1.16.
• The minimum K8s version is increased to v1.27.

Features

• Ceph-CSI driver v3.13, including support for volume group snapshots, CephFS support for omap in rados namespaces, and other csi improvements.
• Enable mirroring for CephBlockPoolRadosNamespaces
• Enable periodic monitoring for CephBlockPoolRadosNamespaces mirroring if the statusCheck is enabled on the parent CephBlockPool.
• Allow migration of PVC based OSDs to enable or disable encryption.
• Support multiple instances of object stores to enable scenarios such as RGW instances with only admin-ops enabled.
• ObjectBucketClaim management of s3 bucket policy via the additionalConfig.bucketPolicy field (see #15138).
• Object stores enable arbitrary command line parameters or ceph configuration settings.
• Enable RGW admin ops logs by enabling the opsLogSidecar in the gateway settings.
• Added support for K8s version v1.32.
