Migrating a Kubernetes Cluster to Cgroup V2: Requirements, Enablement, and Compatibility

This post documents the end-to-end process of migrating a production Kubernetes cluster to cgroup v2: component version requirements, kernel boot parameters, and compatibility verification results for CPU, memory, PID, hugetlb, and IO controllers.
