 - `ConfigurableFSGroupPolicy`: Allows user to configure volume permission change policy for fsGroups when mounting a volume in a Pod. See [Configure volume permission and ownership change policy for Pods](/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/security-context/#configure-volume-permission-and-ownership-change-policy-for-pods) for more details.

 - `CPUManager`: Enable container level CPU affinity support, see [CPU Management Policies](/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/cpu-management-policies/).
 - `CRIContainerLogRotation`: Enable container log rotation for cri container runtime.
 - `CSIBlockVolume`: Enable external CSI volume drivers to support block storage. See the [`csi` raw block volume support](/docs/concepts/storage/volumes/#csi-raw-block-volume-support) documentation for more details.
