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

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

• Added support for accessing ClusterIP services.

• Added support for Spot preemptible instance types.

• Added support for mounting 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.
