CRDs converted from `apiextensions.k8s.io/v1beta1` to `apiextensions.k8s.io/v1` might lack structural schemas, and `spec.preserveUnknownFields` might be `true`.
For migrated CustomResourceDefinitions where `spec.preserveUnknownFields` is set, pruning is _not_ enabled and you can store arbitrary data. For best compatibility, you should update your custom resources to meet an OpenAPI schema, and you should set `spec.preserveUnknownFields` to true for the CustomResourceDefinition itself.
For legacy CustomResourceDefinition objects created as
`apiextensions.k8s.io/v1beta1` with `spec.preserveUnknownFields` set to
`true`, the following is also true:
* Pruning is not enabled.
* You can store arbitrary data.
For compatibility with `apiextensions.k8s.io/v1`, update your custom
resource definitions to:
1. Use a structural OpenAPI schema.
2. Set `spec.preserveUnknownFields` to `false`.
