Authentication mode can be selected when creating a cluster
Existing clusters configured with CONFIGMAP method can be changed to API method on the console (switching from API method to CONFIGMAP method is not supported)
IAM authentication enabled for clusters created after February 13, 2022 - Clusters that have been created on or before this date require conversion to IAM authentication
An error may occur in applications that use the old kubeconfig when the Admin authentication expires
Possible impact of authentication expiration on service quality must be assessed before authentication conversion

If it is necessary to create a Network Load Balancer (NLB), you can create it through the relevant annotation (service.beta.kubernetes.io/ncloud-load-balancer-layer-type)
You can specify a specific private subnet for the subnet for node pools
