After the fix, failover to a healthy control plane node completes in approximately 4 seconds. * Fixed an issue where node drain in maintenance mode did not wait for attached storage volumes to detach. ## Fix Fixed The following issues were fixed in 1.36.200-gke.118: * Fixed vulnerabilities listed in [Vulnerability fixes](https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/distributed-cloud/bare-metal/docs/vulnerabilities). * Fixed `BareMetalMachine` conditions during maintenance mode transitions.
