# Alluxio Kubernetes Operator 3.6.0 Release Notes

## Summary

### New Features

* **FuseSet** gives you a custom resource for defining heterogeneous CSI FUSE configurations.

### Major Enhancements

* **CSI FUSE lifecycle management** supports delayed cleanup, removes FUSE pods when their Kubernetes node is removed, and performs a standard unmount before lazy unmount for more reliable cleanup.

## Breaking Changes

* FuseSet replaces the ConfigMap-based configuration model for CSI FUSE.

## Upgrade Notes

* Migrate CSI FUSE configuration from ConfigMaps to FuseSet resources before or during the upgrade.
* Validate every required FUSE configuration, including environments that need different settings across nodes or workloads.
