v1.21.0 🪁 Tracking Issue

[yeazelm]

This is a "living" issue used to track bug fixes, features, and things landing in the next release of Bottlerocket v1.21.0.

This is a convenient way for the maintainers and the community to have a birds eye view of what's happening in any given Bottlerocket release. You'll find things we're targeting for the release, target dates, and important maintenance tasks.

But anything is subject to change, this isn't a guarantee anything will actually land in a given release, and this tracking issue is not all encompassing. For a full comparison of new things for this release, use the GitHub /compare feature and check the differences between the 1.21.x branch and develop.
