# Migration: Steps needed between the versions

## v3.0 to v3.1

### Kubernetes Provider RBACs

Starting with v3.1, the Kubernetes Providers now use the [EndpointSlices API](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/endpoint-slices/) (Kubernetes >=v1.21) to discover service endpoint addresses.
It also brings NodePort load-balancing which requires Nodes resources lookup.

Therefore, in the corresponding RBACs (see [KubernetesIngress](../routing/providers/kubernetes-ingress.md#configuration-example), [KubernetesCRD](../reference/dynamic-configuration/kubernetes-crd.md#rbac), and [KubernetesGateway](../reference/dynamic-configuration/kubernetes-gateway-rbac.yml) provider RBACs):

- the `endpoints` right has to be removed and the following `endpointslices` right has to be added:

```yaml
  ... 
  - apiGroups:
      - discovery.k8s.io
    resources:
      - endpointslices
    verbs:
      - list
      - watch
  ...
```

- the `nodes` right has to be added:

```yaml
  ...
  - apiGroups:
      - ""
    resources:
      - nodes
    verbs:
      - get
      - list
      - watch
  ...
```

#### Gateway API: KubernetesGateway Provider

In v3.1, the KubernetesGateway Provider is no longer an experimental feature.
It can be enabled without the associated `experimental.kubernetesgateway` option, which is now deprecated.

??? example "An example of the experimental `kubernetesgateway` option"

    ```yaml tab="File (YAML)"
    experimental:
      kubernetesgateway: true
    ```

    ```toml tab="File (TOML)"
    [experimental]
        kubernetesgateway=true
    ```

    ```bash tab="CLI"
    --experimental.kubernetesgateway=true
    ```

##### Remediation

The `kubernetesgateway` option should be removed from the experimental section of the static configuration.
To configure `kubernetesgateway`, please check out the [KubernetesGateway Provider documentation](../providers/kubernetes-gateway.md).

## v3.1.0 to v3.1.1

### IngressClass Lookup

The Kubernetes Ingress provider option `disableIngressClassLookup` has been deprecated in v3.1.1, and will be removed in the next major version.
Please use the `disableClusterScopeResources` option instead to avoid cluster scope resources discovery (IngressClass, Nodes).
