+
+The Apache CloudStack project is pleased to announce the release of
+[CloudStack Kubernetes Provider
+v1.2.0](https://github.com/apache/cloudstack-kubernetes-provider/releases/tag/v1.2.0)
+that facilitates Kubernetes deployments on CloudStack.
+
+It allows Kubernetes to dynamically allocate IP addresses and the
+respective networking rules on CloudStack to ensure seamless TCP, UDP
+and TCP-Proxy LoadBalancer deployments on Kubernetes. This was
+historically part of the Kubernetes codebase which was later removed
+and donated to the project to allow for further maintenance of the
+provider plugin.
+
+This release contains various bug fixes and improvements. Some of the
+highlighted features include:
+* Support for NetworkACLs for LB on VPC networks
+* Support configuring source CIDR list
+* ARM support for docker images
