[Ajay Sundar]

Hi all,

We are pleased to announce the release of Node Readiness Controller v0.2.0.

This release introduces several enhancements to improve the controller's stability, observability, and installation process. 

Highlights

• Added rule validation webhook for configuration safety
• Metrics support to monitor controller performance and rule evaluations
• Efficient node updates from the controller
• Marked the controller as system-cluster-critical to prevent unintended eviction
• Better installation tooling with kustomize overlays to support advanced installation options.
• Improved documentation and examples.

For more details, check our release notes.

Thank you to all the contributors who helped with this release!

Best regards
