Create new page for feature gates that were removed

As the upstream code evolves, many feature gates (deprecated or GA'ed) are removed. That means they are no longer recognized by the Kubernetes components. This PR moves such feature gates into a dedicated page for reference so that we won't bother revisit them again for future releases.

title: Feature Gates (removed)
weight: 15
content_type: concept
---
<!-- overview -->
This page contains list of feature gates that have been removed. The information on this page is for reference.
A removed feature gate is different from a GA'ed or deprecated one in that a removed one is
no longer recognized as a valid feature gate.
However, a GA'ed or a deprecated feature gate is still recognized by the corresponding Kubernetes
components although they are unable to cause any behavior differences in a cluster.
For feature gates that are still recognized by the Kubernetes components, please refer to
the [Alpha/Beta feature gate table](/docs/reference/command-line-tools/reference/feature-gates/#feature-gates-for-alpha-or-beta-features)
or the [Graduated/Deprecated feature gate table](/docs/reference/command-line-tools/reference/feature-gates/#feature-gates-for-graduated-or-deprecated-features)
### Feature gates that are removed
In the following table:
- The "From" column contains the Kubernetes release when a feature is introduced
or its release stage is changed.
- The "To" column, if not empty, contains the last Kubernetes release in which
you can still use a feature gate. If the feature stage is either "Deprecated"
or "GA", the "To" column is the Kubernetes release when the feature is removed.

## Descriptions for removed feature gates
- `Accelerators`: Provided an early form of plugin to enable Nvidia GPU support when using
Docker Engine; no longer available. See
[Device Plugins](/docs/concepts/extend-kubernetes/compute-storage-net/device-plugins/) for
an alternative.
- `AffinityInAnnotations`: Enable setting
[Pod affinity or anti-affinity](/docs/concepts/scheduling-eviction/assign-pod-node/#affinity-and-anti-affinity).
- `AllowExtTrafficLocalEndpoints`: Enable a service to route external requests to node local endpoints.
- `AttachVolumeLimit`: Enable volume plugins to report limits on number of volumes
that can be attached to a node.
See [dynamic volume limits](/docs/concepts/storage/storage-limits/#dynamic-volume-limits)
for more details.
- `BalanceAttachedNodeVolumes`: Include volume count on node to be considered for
balanced resource allocation while scheduling. A node which has closer CPU,
memory utilization, and volume count is favored by the scheduler while making decisions.
- `BlockVolume`: Enable the definition and consumption of raw block devices in Pods.
See [Raw Block Volume Support](/docs/concepts/storage/persistent-volumes/#raw-block-volume-support)
for more details.
- `BoundServiceAccountTokenVolume`: Migrate ServiceAccount volumes to use a projected volume
consisting of a ServiceAccountTokenVolumeProjection. Cluster admins can use metric

## Using a feature
@ -639,37 +377,13 @@ Each feature gate is designed for enabling/disabling a specific feature:
- `APIServerIdentity`: Assign each API server an ID in a cluster.
- `APIServerTracing`: Add support for distributed tracing in the API server.
See [Traces for Kubernetes System Components](/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/system-traces) for more details.
- `Accelerators`: Provided an early form of plugin to enable Nvidia GPU support when using
Docker Engine; no longer available. See
[Device Plugins](/docs/concepts/extend-kubernetes/compute-storage-net/device-plugins/) for
an alternative.
- `AdvancedAuditing`: Enable [advanced auditing](/docs/tasks/debug/debug-cluster/audit/#advanced-audit)
- `AffinityInAnnotations`: Enable setting
[Pod affinity or anti-affinity](/docs/concepts/scheduling-eviction/assign-pod-node/#affinity-and-anti-affinity).
- `AllowExtTrafficLocalEndpoints`: Enable a service to route external requests to node local endpoints.
- `AllowInsecureBackendProxy`: Enable the users to skip TLS verification of
kubelets on Pod log requests.
- `AnyVolumeDataSource`: Enable use of any custom resource as the `DataSource` of a
{{< glossary_tooltip text="PVC" term_id="persistent-volume-claim" >}}.
- `AppArmor`: Enable use of AppArmor mandatory access control for Pods running on Linux nodes.
See [AppArmor Tutorial](/docs/tutorials/security/apparmor/) for more details.
- `AttachVolumeLimit`: Enable volume plugins to report limits on number of volumes
that can be attached to a node.
See [dynamic volume limits](/docs/concepts/storage/storage-limits/#dynamic-volume-limits)
for more details.
- `BalanceAttachedNodeVolumes`: Include volume count on node to be considered for
balanced resource allocation while scheduling. A node which has closer CPU,
memory utilization, and volume count is favored by the scheduler while making decisions.
- `BlockVolume`: Enable the definition and consumption of raw block devices in Pods.
See [Raw Block Volume Support](/docs/concepts/storage/persistent-volumes/#raw-block-volume-support)
for more details.
- `BoundServiceAccountTokenVolume`: Migrate ServiceAccount volumes to use a projected volume
consisting of a ServiceAccountTokenVolumeProjection. Cluster admins can use metric
`serviceaccount_stale_tokens_total` to monitor workloads that are depending on the extended
tokens. If there are no such workloads, turn off extended tokens by starting `kube-apiserver` with
flag `--service-account-extend-token-expiration=false`.
