+  ## Improve connection draining when ingress controller pod is deleted using a lifecycle hook:
+  ## With this new hook, we increased the default terminationGracePeriodSeconds from 30 seconds
+  ## to 300, allowing the draining of connections up to five minutes.
+  ## If the active connections end before that, the pod will terminate gracefully at that time.
+  ## To efectively take advantage of this feature, the Configmap feature
