VPA release 1.0.0

[raywainman]

Following instructions in RELEASE.md.

Starting this release as recommended by @jbartosik. This corresponds to the k8s 1.28 release.

Please provide any information that is related to the release:

• When we plan to do the release?
  • Now
• Are there any issues / PRs blocking the release?
  • TBD

[raywainman]

Current VPA tests are all green - https://testgrid.k8s.io/sig-autoscaling-vpa

[aadyyb]

is there a plan to publish an official helm chart? There is issue open (#5369) with reference to a few of community options, but we are challenged by our security to use 'unofficial' helm chart.

Like I mentioned in a comment on the issue I think we can accept contributions but don't have capacity to maintain them.

As far as I know none contributed helm charts for VPA specifically (one can use CA helm chart to deploy VPA).

[jbartosik]

I created new branch: https://github.com/kubernetes/autoscaler/tree/vpa-release-1.0

BTW we should update release documentation to refer to 1.n instead of 0.n from now on

[raywainman]

Thanks @jbartosik.

New images are available in gcr.io/k8s-staging-autoscaling (thanks Joachim for the help there as well).

Moving onto the testing portion.

I think we have to backport #6151 into vpa-release-1.0 branch
@raywainman @jbartosik WDYT?

If seems good then I will open a PR for it.

[raywainman]

@Shubham82 seems totally reasonable, sgtm

[raywainman]

Ran tests again in a new 1.24 cluster as an extra check:

hi all!
Can someone compile changelog with user facing features for 1.0.0 release ?

[jbartosik]

Yes, we're going to. It's taking a bit longer than I expected, sorry about that.

[raywainman]

Apologies for the delay here team. I've compiled the following release notes:
