• The virtual-nodes-eci controller is now deployed as a StatefulSet. This makes it easier to change the number of replicas to create multiple VK virtual nodes and support larger-scale ECI pods.

• The node name is changed to `virtual-node-eci-$n`.

• Added support for Spot preemptible instance types.

• Added support for attaching disk volumes using CSI.

If your virtual-nodes-eci controller is deployed as a deployment, first delete the ECI on the virtual-kubelet node, and then update or redeploy the component.
