Deprecation notice of NAD query

[Nir Dothan]

Hello everyone,

As part of VEP #106, beginning with the KubeVirt 1.8 release we plan to start the deprecation of KubeVirt's direct access to the network-attachment-definition (NAD) CRD.

This functionality will be gated behind a feature gate for approximately 2–3 releases, with the current plan to remove it entirely in release 1.10 or 1.11.

As a replacement, clusters will be required to have the network-resources-injector component installed as a new dependency.

This change only affects environments where NADs contain custom resource mappings, expressed via the k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/resourceName annotation (e.g., SR-IOV, bridge-marker, macvlan).

Please review the proposal and share your feedback.

Regards,
SIG Network
