+    To reduce the overall complexity and maintenance burden of GitLab's [object storage feature](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/object_storage.html), support for using `background_upload` to upload files is deprecated and will be fully removed in GitLab 15.0.
+
+    This impacts a small subset of object storage providers:
+
+    - **OpenStack** Customers using OpenStack need to change their configuration to use the S3 API instead of Swift.
+    - **RackSpace** Customers using RackSpace-based object storage need to migrate data to a different provider.
+
+    GitLab will publish additional guidance to assist affected customers in migrating.
