-## Upgrade to v1.0.0
-
-Version 1.0.0 of this module introduces a breaking change: adding the `disable-legacy-endpoints` metadata field to all node pools. This metadata is required by GKE and [determines whether the `/0.1/` and `/v1beta1/` paths are available in the nodes' metadata server](https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/how-to/protecting-cluster-metadata#disable-legacy-apis). If your applications do not require access to the node's metadata server, you can leave the default value of `true` provided by the module. If your applications require access to the metadata server, be sure to read the linked documentation to see if you need to set the value for this field to `false` to allow your applications access to the above metadata server paths.
-
-In either case, upgrading to module version `v1.0.0` will trigger a recreation of all node pools in the cluster.
