* [Pavithra/Eskild, follow-up from previous discussions] Milestone review
1. [March release](https://github.com/nebari-dev/nebari/milestone/20)

- Fix CI/integration tests
- Minor bug fixes
2. [April release](https://github.com/nebari-dev/nebari/milestone/21)
- Ensure we can deploy on Kubernetes 1.24 - requires updates to many
- services due deprecations in 1.24 (removal of automated service-account token creation) [issue 1622](https://github.com/nebari-dev/nebari/issues/1622)
3. We can skip the March release and aim to do a release in early April with k8s 1.24
- PyCon in the week of 17th April, it'll be nice to have conda-store UI in Nebari to showcase it. :)
4. Let's try to make PRs atomic/granular to make them easier to triage and review
