+
+This enhancement separates the responsibility of managing node lifecycle and pod eviction into two distinct components.
+Previously, the node lifecycle controller handled both marking nodes as unhealthy with NoExecute taints and evicting pods from them.
+Now, a dedicated taint eviction controller manages the eviction process, while the node lifecycle controller focuses solely on applying taints.
+This separation not only improves code organization but also makes it easier to improve taint eviction controller or build custom implementations of the taint based eviction.
+
+## What's new?
+
+The feature gate `SeparateTaintEvictionController` has been promoted to GA in this release.
+Users can optionally disable taint-based eviction by setting `--controllers=-taint-eviction-controller` 
+in kube-controller-manager. 
+
+## How can I learn more?
+
+For more details, refer to the [KEP](http://kep.k8s.io/3902) and to the beta announcement article: [Kubernetes 1.29: Decoupling taint manager from node lifecycle controller](/blog/2023/12/19/kubernetes-1-29-taint-eviction-controller/).
+
+## How to get involved?
+
+We offer a huge thank you to all the contributors who helped with design,
+implementation, and review of this feature and helped move it from beta to stable:
