 In Kubernetes {{< skew currentVersion >}}, there are two pruning modes available in kubectl apply:
-- Allowlist-based pruning: This mode has existed since kubectl v1.5 but is still in alpha due to usability, correctness and performance issues with its design. The ApplySet-based mode is designed to replace it.
-- ApplySet-based pruning: An _apply set_ is a server-side object (by default, a Secret) that kubectl can use to accurately and efficiently track set membership across **apply** operations. This mode was introduced in alpha in kubectl v1.27 as a replacement for allowlist-based pruning.

 To use allowlist-based pruning, add the following flags to your `kubectl apply` invocation:
+
 - `--prune`: Delete previously applied objects that are not in the set passed to the current invocation.
-- `--prune-allowlist`: A list of group-version-kinds (GVKs) to consider for pruning. This flag is optional but strongly encouraged, as its default value is a partial list of both namespaced and cluster-scoped types, which can lead to surprising results.
-- `--selector/-l`: Use a label selector to constrain the set of objects selected for pruning. This flag is optional but strongly encouraged.
-- `--all`: use instead of `--selector/-l` to explicitly select all previously applied objects of the allowlisted types.

 Allowlist-based pruning queries the API server for all objects of the allowlisted GVKs that match the given labels (if any), and attempts to match the returned live object configurations against the object
 manifest files. If an object matches the query, and it does not have a
 manifest in the directory, and it has a `kubectl.kubernetes.io/last-applied-configuration` annotation,
 it is deleted.

 Caveats and restrictions:
+
 - Each object may be a member of at most one set.
-- The `--namespace` flag is required when using any namespaced parent, including the default Secret.  This means that ApplySets spanning multiple namespaces must use a cluster-scoped custom resource as the parent object.
-- To safely use ApplySet-based pruning with multiple directories, use a unique ApplySet name for each.
