+### Announcements
+
+* Starting with Kubernetes 1.26:
+  * HostProcess Containers will be GA
+  * Some AKS labels will be deprecated. Update your AKS labels to the recommended substitutions. See more information on label deprecations and how to update your labels in the [Use labels in an AKS cluster](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/aks/use-labels) documentation.
+* AKS began pod security policy deprecation on 2022-11-01 API. The [pod security policy](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/aks/use-pod-security-policies) will be removed completely on 2023-06-01 API with AKS 1.25 version or higher. You can migrate pod security policy to [pod security admission controller](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/aks/use-psa) before the deprecation deadline.
+* Azure Policy will be updated to [GateKeeper 3.11](https://github.com/open-policy-agent/gatekeeper/releases/tag/v3.11.0) on Feb 20th for AKS 1.24 and up.
+* Workload Identity: Application pods using workload identity will need the following label added `azure.workload.identity/use` starting with the 2023-01-29 release. Add the label to your running pods/deployments to avoid pods from failing at restart. See more [here](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/aks/workload-identity-overview#service-account-labels).
