+Graduation the KEP to beta means that we will now sign all artifacts which got

 ### Rollout, Upgrade and Rollback Planning
 
-<!--
-This section must be completed when targeting beta to a release.
--->
-
-###### How can a rollout or rollback fail? Can it impact already running workloads?
-
-<!--
-Try to be as paranoid as possible - e.g., what if some components will restart
-mid-rollout?
-
-Be sure to consider highly-available clusters, where, for example,
-feature flags will be enabled on some API servers and not others during the
-rollout. Similarly, consider large clusters and how enablement/disablement
-will rollout across nodes.
--->
-
-###### What specific metrics should inform a rollback?
-
-<!--
-What signals should users be paying attention to when the feature is young
-that might indicate a serious problem?
--->
-
-###### Were upgrade and rollback tested? Was the upgrade->downgrade->upgrade path tested?
-
-<!--
-Describe manual testing that was done and the outcomes.
-Longer term, we may want to require automated upgrade/rollback tests, but we
-are missing a bunch of machinery and tooling and can't do that now.
--->
-
-###### Is the rollout accompanied by any deprecations and/or removals of features, APIs, fields of API types, flags, etc.?
-
-<!--
-Even if applying deprecation policies, they may still surprise some users.
--->
+Not required.
 
 ### Monitoring Requirements
 
-<!--
-This section must be completed when targeting beta to a release.
--->
-
-###### How can an operator determine if the feature is in use by workloads?
-
-<!--
-Ideally, this should be a metric. Operations against the Kubernetes API (e.g.,
-checking if there are objects with field X set) may be a last resort. Avoid
-logs or events for this purpose.
--->
-
-###### How can someone using this feature know that it is working for their instance?
-
-<!--
-For instance, if this is a pod-related feature, it should be possible to determine if the feature is functioning properly
-for each individual pod.
-Pick one more of these and delete the rest.
-Please describe all items visible to end users below with sufficient detail so that they can verify correct enablement
-and operation of this feature.
-Recall that end users cannot usually observe component logs or access metrics.
--->
-
-- [ ] Events
-  - Event Reason:
-- [ ] API .status
-  - Condition name:
-  - Other field:
-- [ ] Other (treat as last resort)
-  - Details:
-
-###### What are the reasonable SLOs (Service Level Objectives) for the enhancement?
-
-<!--
-This is your opportunity to define what "normal" quality of service looks like
-for a feature.
-
-It's impossible to provide comprehensive guidance, but at the very
-high level (needs more precise definitions) those may be things like:
-  - per-day percentage of API calls finishing with 5XX errors <= 1%
-  - 99% percentile over day of absolute value from (job creation time minus expected
-    job creation time) for cron job <= 10%
-  - 99.9% of /health requests per day finish with 200 code
-
-These goals will help you determine what you need to measure (SLIs) in the next
-question.
--->
-
-###### What are the SLIs (Service Level Indicators) an operator can use to determine the health of the service?

-Pick one more of these and delete the rest.

-###### Are there any missing metrics that would be useful to have to improve observability of this feature?
-
-<!--
-Describe the metrics themselves and the reasons why they weren't added (e.g., cost,
-implementation difficulties, etc.).
--->
+Not required.
 
 ### Dependencies
 
-<!--
-This section must be completed when targeting beta to a release.
--->
-
-###### Does this feature depend on any specific services running in the cluster?
-
-<!--
-Think about both cluster-level services (e.g. metrics-server) as well
-as node-level agents (e.g. specific version of CRI). Focus on external or
-optional services that are needed. For example, if this feature depends on
-a cloud provider API, or upon an external software-defined storage or network
-control plane.
-
-For each of these, fill in the following—thinking about running existing user workloads
-and creating new ones, as well as about cluster-level services (e.g. DNS):

 ### Scalability
 
-<!--
-For alpha, this section is encouraged: reviewers should consider these questions
-and attempt to answer them.
-
-For beta, this section is required: reviewers must answer these questions.
-
-For GA, this section is required: approvers should be able to confirm the
-previous answers based on experience in the field.
--->
-
-###### Will enabling / using this feature result in any new API calls?
-
-<!--
-Describe them, providing:
-  - API call type (e.g. PATCH pods)
-  - estimated throughput
-  - originating component(s) (e.g. Kubelet, Feature-X-controller)
-Focusing mostly on:
-  - components listing and/or watching resources they didn't before
-  - API calls that may be triggered by changes of some Kubernetes resources
-    (e.g. update of object X triggers new updates of object Y)
-  - periodic API calls to reconcile state (e.g. periodic fetching state,
-    heartbeats, leader election, etc.)
--->
-
-###### Will enabling / using this feature result in introducing new API types?
-
-<!--
-Describe them, providing:
-  - API type
-  - Supported number of objects per cluster
-  - Supported number of objects per namespace (for namespace-scoped objects)

-
-###### Will enabling / using this feature result in any new calls to the cloud provider?

-<!--
-Describe them, providing:
-  - Which API(s):
-  - Estimated increase:
--->
-
-###### Will enabling / using this feature result in increasing size or count of the existing API objects?
-
-<!--
-Describe them, providing:
-  - API type(s):
-  - Estimated increase in size: (e.g., new annotation of size 32B)
-  - Estimated amount of new objects: (e.g., new Object X for every existing Pod)
--->
-
-###### Will enabling / using this feature result in increasing time taken by any operations covered by existing SLIs/SLOs?
-
-<!--
-Look at the [existing SLIs/SLOs].
-
-Think about adding additional work or introducing new steps in between
-(e.g. need to do X to start a container), etc. Please describe the details.
-
-[existing SLIs/SLOs]: https://git.k8s.io/community/sig-scalability/slos/slos.md#kubernetes-slisslos
--->
-
-###### Will enabling / using this feature result in non-negligible increase of resource usage (CPU, RAM, disk, IO, ...) in any components?
-
-<!--
-Things to keep in mind include: additional in-memory state, additional
-non-trivial computations, excessive access to disks (including increased log
-volume), significant amount of data sent and/or received over network, etc.
-This through this both in small and large cases, again with respect to the
-[supported limits].

 ### Troubleshooting

-This section must be completed when targeting beta to a release.
-
-The Troubleshooting section currently serves the `Playbook` role. We may consider
-splitting it into a dedicated `Playbook` document (potentially with some monitoring
-details). For now, we leave it here.

-###### How does this feature react if the API server and/or etcd is unavailable?
-
-###### What are other known failure modes?
-
-<!--
-For each of them, fill in the following information by copying the below template:
-  - [Failure mode brief description]
-    - Detection: How can it be detected via metrics? Stated another way:
-      how can an operator troubleshoot without logging into a master or worker node?
-    - Mitigations: What can be done to stop the bleeding, especially for already
-      running user workloads?
-    - Diagnostics: What are the useful log messages and their required logging
-      levels that could help debug the issue?
-      Not required until feature graduated to beta.
-    - Testing: Are there any tests for failure mode? If not, describe why.

-###### What steps should be taken if SLOs are not being met to determine the problem?
