GKE is introducing the following changes to expand the capabilities of maintenance exclusions:
* **Per-node pool maintenance exclusions**: Available in release channels, these replicate the functionality of disabling node pool auto-upgrades when your cluster isn't enrolled in a release channel.
* **Extended "No upgrades" exclusion**: The "No upgrades" default maintenance exclusion can now be up to 90 days long.
For more information, see [Maintenance exclusions](https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/concepts/maintenance-windows-and-exclusions#exclusions).
