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.

[node conditions](/docs/concepts/architecture/nodes/#condition).
- `TokenRequest`: Enable the `TokenRequest` endpoint on service account resources.
- `TokenRequestProjection`: Enable the injection of service account tokens into a Pod through a
[`projected` volume](/docs/concepts/storage/volumes/#projected).
- `ValidateProxyRedirects`: This flag controls whether the API server should validate that redirects
are only followed to the same host. Only used if the `StreamingProxyRedirects` flag is enabled.
- `VolumePVCDataSource`: Enable support for specifying an existing PVC as a DataSource.
- `VolumeScheduling`: Enable volume topology aware scheduling and make the PersistentVolumeClaim
(PVC) binding aware of scheduling decisions. It also enables the usage of
[`local`](/docs/concepts/storage/volumes/#local) volume type when used together with the
`PersistentLocalVolumes` feature gate.
- `VolumeSnapshotDataSource`: Enable volume snapshot data source support.
- `VolumeSubpath`: Allow mounting a subpath of a volume in a container.
- `VolumeSubpathEnvExpansion`: Enable `subPathExpr` field for expanding environment
variables into a `subPath`.
- `WarningHeaders`: Allow sending warning headers in API responses.
- `WindowsEndpointSliceProxying`: When enabled, kube-proxy running on Windows will use
EndpointSlices as the primary data source instead of Endpoints, enabling scalability and
performance improvements. See
[Enabling Endpoint Slices](/docs/concepts/services-networking/endpoint-slices/).
- `WindowsGMSA`: Enables passing of GMSA credential specs from pods to container runtimes.
- `WindowsRunAsUserName` : Enable support for running applications in Windows containers with as a
non-default user. See [Configuring RunAsUserName](/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/configure-runasusername)
for more details.
