deprecation
Google Kubernetes Engine is deprecating the option to not enroll clusters in a release channel, previously known as 'No channel' or 'Static'. This configuration will be removed on June 14, 2027, after which all unmanaged clusters will be automatically enrolled in the Stable channel. Users are advised to enroll their clusters in a release channel before this date to avoid disruption.
