## 1.9 Release Notes
## WARNING: etcd backup strongly recommended
Before updating to 1.9, you are strongly recommended to back up your etcd data. Consult the installation procedure you are using (kargo, kops, kube-up, kube-aws, kubeadm etc) for specific advice.
Some upgrade methods might upgrade etcd from 3.0 to 3.1 automatically when you upgrade from Kubernetes 1.8, unless you specify otherwise. Because [etcd does not support downgrading](https://coreos.com/etcd/docs/latest/upgrades/upgrade_3_1.html), you'll need to either remain on etcd 3.1 or restore from a backup if you want to downgrade back to Kubernetes 1.8.
## Introduction to 1.9.0
Kubernetes version 1.9 includes new features and enhancements, as well as fixes to identified issues. The release notes contain a brief overview of the important changes introduced in this release. The content is organized by Special Interest Group ([SIG](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/sig-list.md)).
For initial installations, see the [Setup topics](https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/pick-right-solution/) in the Kubernetes documentation.
To upgrade to this release from a previous version, first take any actions required [Before Upgrading](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/CHANGELOG-1.9.md#before-upgrading).
For more information about this release and for the latest documentation, see the [Kubernetes documentation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/home/).
## Major themes
Kubernetes is developed by community members whose work is organized into
[Special Interest Groups](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/sig-list.md), which provide the themes that guide their work. For the 1.9 release, these themes included:
### API Machinery
Extensibility. SIG API Machinery added a new class of admission control webhooks (mutating), and brought the admission control webhooks to beta.
### Apps
The core workloads API, which is composed of the DaemonSet, Deployment, ReplicaSet, and StatefulSet kinds, has been promoted to GA stability in the apps/v1 group version. As such, the apps/v1beta2 group version is deprecated, and all new code should use the kinds in the apps/v1 group version.
### Auth
SIG Auth focused on extension-related authorization improvements. Permissions can now be added to the built-in RBAC admin/edit/view roles using [cluster role aggregation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/admin/authorization/rbac/#aggregated-clusterroles). [Webhook authorizers](https://kubernetes.io/docs/admin/authorization/webhook/) can now deny requests and short-circuit checking subsequent authorizers. Performance and usability of the beta [PodSecurityPolicy](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/policy/pod-security-policy/) feature was also improved.
### AWS
In v1.9 SIG AWS has improved stability of EBS support across the board. If a Volume is “stuck” in the attaching state to a node for too long a unschedulable taint will be applied to the node, so a Kubernetes admin can [take manual steps to correct the error](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ebs-attaching-volume.html). Users are encouraged to ensure they are monitoring for the taint, and should consider automatically terminating instances in this state.
In addition, support for NVMe disks has been added to Kubernetes, and a service of type LoadBalancer can now be backed with an NLB instead of an ELB (alpha).
### Azure
SIG Azure worked on improvements in the cloud provider, including significant work on the Azure Load Balancer implementation.
### Cluster Lifecycle
SIG Cluster Lifecycle has been focusing on improving kubeadm in order to bring it to GA in a future release, as well as developing the [Cluster API](https://github.com/kubernetes/kube-deploy/tree/master/cluster-api). For kubeadm, most new features, such as support for CoreDNS, IPv6 and Dynamic Kubelet Configuration, have gone in as alpha features. We expect to graduate these features to beta and beyond in the next release. The initial Cluster API spec and GCE sample implementation were developed from scratch during this cycle, and we look forward to stabilizing them into something production-grade during 2018.
### Instrumentation
In v1.9 we focused on improving stability of the components owned by the SIG, including Heapster, Custom Metrics API adapters for Prometheus, and Stackdriver.
### Network
In v1.9 SIG Network has implemented alpha support for IPv6, and alpha support for CoreDNS as a drop-in replacement for kube-dns. Additionally, SIG Network has begun the deprecation process for the extensions/v1beta1 NetworkPolicy API in favor of the networking.k8s.io/v1 equivalent.
### Node
SIG Node iterated on the ability to support more workloads with better performance and improved reliability. Alpha features were improved around hardware accelerator support, device plugins enablement, and cpu pinning policies to enable us to graduate these features to beta in a future release. In addition, a number of reliability and performance enhancements were made across the node to help operators in production.
### OpenStack
In this cycle, SIG OpenStack focused on configuration simplification through smarter defaults and the use of auto-detection wherever feasible (Block Storage API versions, Security Groups) as well as updating API support, including:
* Block Storage (Cinder) V3 is now supported.
* Load Balancer (Octavia) V2 is now supported, in addition to Neutron LBaaS V2.
* Neutron LBaas V1 support has been removed.
This work enables Kubernetes to take full advantage of the relevant services as exposed by OpenStack clouds. Refer to the [Cloud Providers](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/cloud-providers/#openstack) documentation for more information.
### Storage
[SIG Storage](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/tree/master/sig-storage) is responsible for storage and volume plugin components.
For the 1.9 release, SIG Storage made Kubernetes more pluggable and modular by introducing an alpha implementation of the Container Storage Interface (CSI). CSI will make installing new volume plugins as easy as deploying a pod, and enable third-party storage providers to develop their plugins without the need to add code to the core Kubernetes codebase.
The SIG also focused on adding functionality to the Kubernetes volume subsystem, such as alpha support for exposing volumes as block devices inside containers, extending the alpha volume-resizing support to more volume plugins, and topology-aware volume scheduling.
### Windows
We are advancing support for Windows Server and Windows Server Containers to beta along with continued feature and functional advancements on both the Kubernetes and Windows platforms. This opens the door for many Windows-specific applications and workloads to run on Kubernetes, significantly expanding the implementation scenarios and the enterprise reach of Kubernetes.
## Before Upgrading
Consider the following changes, limitations, and guidelines before you upgrade:
### **API Machinery**
* The admission API, which is used when the API server calls admission control webhooks, is moved from `admission.v1alpha1` to `admission.v1beta1`. You must **delete any existing webhooks before you upgrade** your cluster, and update them to use the latest API. This change is not backward compatible.
* The admission webhook configurations API, part of the admissionregistration API, is now at v1beta1. Delete any existing webhook configurations before you upgrade, and update your configuration files to use the latest API. For this and the previous change, see also [the documentation]([https://kubernetes.io/docs/admin/extensible-admission-controllers/#external-admission-webhooks](https://kubernetes.io/docs/admin/extensible-admission-controllers/#external-admission-webhooks)).
* A new `ValidatingAdmissionWebhook` is added (replacing `GenericAdmissionWebhook`) and is available in the generic API server. You must update your API server configuration file to pass the webhook to the `--admission-control` flag. ([#55988](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55988),[ @caesarxuchao](https://github.com/caesarxuchao)) ([#54513](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54513),[ @deads2k](https://github.com/deads2k))
* The deprecated options `--portal-net` and `--service-node-ports` for the API server are removed. ([#52547](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52547),[ @xiangpengzhao](https://github.com/xiangpengzhao))
### **Auth**
* PodSecurityPolicy: A compatibility issue with the allowPrivilegeEscalation field that caused policies to start denying pods they previously allowed was fixed. If you defined PodSecurityPolicy objects using a 1.8.0 client or server and set allowPrivilegeEscalation to false, these objects must be reapplied after you upgrade. ([#53443](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53443),[ @liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))
* KMS: Alpha integration with GCP KMS was removed in favor of a future out-of-process extension point. Discontinue use of the GCP KMS integration and ensure [data has been decrypted](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/encrypt-data/#decrypting-all-data) (or reencrypted with a different provider) before upgrading ([#54759](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54759),[ @sakshamsharma](https://github.com/sakshamsharma))
### **CLI**
* Swagger 1.2 validation is removed for kubectl. The options `--use-openapi` and `--schema-cache-dir` are also removed because they are no longer needed. ([#53232](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53232),[ @apelisse](https://github.com/apelisse))
### **Cluster Lifecycle**
* You must either specify the `--discovery-token-ca-cert-hash` flag to `kubeadm join`, or opt out of the CA pinning feature using `--discovery-token-unsafe-skip-ca-verification`.
* The default `auto-detect` behavior of the kubelet's `--cloud-provider` flag is removed.
* You can manually set `--cloud-provider=auto-detect`, but be aware that this behavior will be removed completely in a future version.
* Best practice for version 1.9 and future versions is to explicitly set a cloud-provider. See [the documentation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/getting-started-guides/scratch/#cloud-providers)
* The kubeadm `--skip-preflight-checks` flag is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
* If you are using the cloud provider API to determine the external host address of the apiserver, set `--external-hostname` explicitly instead. The cloud provider detection has been deprecated and will be removed in the future ([#54516](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54516),[ @dims](https://github.com/dims))
### **Multicluster**
* Development of Kubernetes Federation has moved to [github.com/kubernetes/federation](github.com/kubernetes/federation). This move out of tree also means that Federation will begin releasing separately from Kubernetes. Impact:
* Federation-specific behavior will no longer be included in kubectl
* kubefed will no longer be released as part of Kubernetes
* The Federation servers will no longer be included in the hyperkube binary and image. ([#53816](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53816),[ @marun](https://github.com/marun))
### **Node**
* The kubelet `--network-plugin-dir` flag is removed. This flag was deprecated in version 1.7, and is replaced with `--cni-bin-dir`. ([#53564](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53564),[ @supereagle](https://github.com/supereagle))
* kubelet's `--cloud-provider` flag no longer defaults to "auto-detect". If you want cloud-provider support in kubelet, you must set a specific cloud-provider explicitly. ([#53573](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53573),[ @dims](https://github.com/dims))
### **Network**
* NetworkPolicy objects are now stored in etcd in v1 format. After you upgrade to version 1.9, make sure that all NetworkPolicy objects are migrated to v1. ([#51955](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51955), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship))
* The API group/version for the kube-proxy configuration has changed from `componentconfig/v1alpha1` to `kubeproxy.config.k8s.io/v1alpha1`. If you are using a config file for kube-proxy instead of the command line flags, you must change its apiVersion to `kubeproxy.config.k8s.io/v1alpha1`. ([#53645](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53645), [@xiangpengzhao](https://github.com/xiangpengzhao))
* The "ServiceNodeExclusion" feature gate must now be enabled for the `alpha.service-controller.kubernetes.io/exclude-balancer` annotation on nodes to be honored. ([#54644](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54644),[ @brendandburns](https://github.com/brendandburns))
### **Scheduling**
* Taint key `unreachable` is now in GA.
* Taint key `notReady` is changed to `not-ready`, and is also now in GA.
* These changes are automatically updated for taints. Tolerations for these taints must be updated manually. Specifically, you must:
* Change `node.alpha.kubernetes.io/notReady` to `node.kubernetes.io/not-ready`
* Change `node.alpha.kubernetes.io/unreachable` to `node.kubernetes.io/unreachable`
* The `node.kubernetes.io/memory-pressure` taint now respects the configured whitelist. To use it, you must add it to the whitelist.([#55251](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55251),[ @deads2k](https://github.com/deads2k))
* Refactor kube-scheduler configuration ([#52428](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52428))
* The kube-scheduler command now supports a --config flag which is the location of a file containing a serialized scheduler configuration. Most other kube-scheduler flags are now deprecated. ([#52562](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52562),[ @ironcladlou](https://github.com/ironcladlou))
* Opaque integer resources (OIR), which were (deprecated in v1.8.), have been removed. ([#55103](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55103),[ @ConnorDoyle](https://github.com/ConnorDoyle))
### **Storage**
* [alpha] The LocalPersistentVolumes alpha feature now also requires the VolumeScheduling alpha feature. This is a breaking change, and the following changes are required:
* The VolumeScheduling feature gate must also be enabled on kube-scheduler and kube-controller-manager components.
* The NoVolumeNodeConflict predicate has been removed. For non-default schedulers, update your scheduler policy.
* The CheckVolumeBinding predicate must be enabled in non-default schedulers. ([#55039](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55039),[ @msau42](https://github.com/msau42))
### **OpenStack**
* Remove the LbaasV1 of OpenStack cloud provider, currently only support LbaasV2. ([#52717](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52717),[ @FengyunPan](https://github.com/FengyunPan))
## Known Issues
This section contains a list of known issues reported in Kubernetes 1.9 release. The content is populated from the [v1.9.x known issues and FAQ accumulator](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/57159](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/57159).
* If you are adding Windows Server Virtual Machines as nodes to your Kubernetes environment, there is a compatibility issue with certain virtualization products. Specifically the Windows version of the kubelet.exe calls `GetPhysicallyInstalledSystemMemory` to get the physical memory installed on Windows machines and reports it as part of node metrics to heapster. This API call fails for VMware and VirtualBox virtualization environments. This issue is not present in bare metal Windows deployments, in Hyper-V, or on some of the popular public cloud providers.
* If you run `kubectl get po` while the API server in unreachable, a misleading error is returned: `the server doesn't have a resource type "po"`. To work around this issue, specify the full resource name in the command instead of the abbreviation: `kubectl get pods`. This issue will be fixed in a future release.
For more information, see [#57198](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/57198).
* Mutating and validating webhook configurations are continuously polled by the API server (once per second). This issue will be fixed in a future release.
For more information, see [#56357](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/56357).
* Audit logging is slow because writes to the log are performed synchronously with requests to the log. This issue will be fixed in a future release.
For more information, see [#53006](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/53006).
* Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) are not properly deleted under certain conditions. This issue will be fixed in a future release.
For more information, see [#56348](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/56348).
* API server times out after performing a rolling update of the etcd cluster. This issue will be fixed in a future release.
For more information, see [#47131](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/47131)
* If a namespaced resource is owned by a cluster scoped resource, and the namespaced dependent is processed before the cluster scoped owner has ever been observed by the garbage collector, the dependent will be erroneously deleted.
For more information, see [#54940](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/54940)
## Deprecations
This section provides an overview of deprecated API versions, options, flags, and arguments. Deprecated means that we intend to remove the capability from a future release. After removal, the capability will no longer work. The sections are organized by SIGs.
### **API Machinery**
* The kube-apiserver `--etcd-quorum-read` flag is deprecated and the ability to switch off quorum read will be removed in a future release. ([#53795](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53795),[ @xiangpengzhao](https://github.com/xiangpengzhao))

* RBAC objects are now stored in etcd in v1 format. After upgrading to 1.9, ensure all RBAC objects (Roles, RoleBindings, ClusterRoles, ClusterRoleBindings) are at v1. v1alpha1 support is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. ([#52950](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52950),[ @liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))
### **Cluster Lifecycle**
* kube-apiserver: `--ssh-user` and `--ssh-keyfile` are now deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Users of SSH tunnel functionality in Google Container Engine for the Master -> Cluster communication should plan alternate methods for bridging master and node networks. ([#54433](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54433),[ @dims](https://github.com/dims))
* The kubeadm `--skip-preflight-checks` flag is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release.

The cloud provider detection has been deprecated and will be removed in the future ([#54516](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54516),[ @dims](https://github.com/dims))
### **Network**
* The NetworkPolicy extensions/v1beta1 API is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release. This functionality has been migrated to a dedicated v1 API - networking.k8s.io/v1. v1beta1 Network Policies can be upgraded to the v1 API with the [cluster/update-storage-objects.sh script](https://github.com/danwinship/kubernetes/blob/master/cluster/update-storage-objects.sh). Documentation can be found [here](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/network-policies/). ([#56425](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/56425), [@cmluciano](https://github.com/cmluciano))
### **Storage**
* The `volume.beta.kubernetes.io/storage-class` annotation is deprecated. It will be removed in a future release. For the StorageClass API object, use v1, and in place of the annotation use `v1.PersistentVolumeClaim.Spec.StorageClassName` and `v1.PersistentVolume.Spec.StorageClassName` instead. ([#53580](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53580),[ @xiangpengzhao](https://github.com/xiangpengzhao))
### **Scheduling**
* The kube-scheduler command now supports a `--config` flag, which is the location of a file containing a serialized scheduler configuration. Most other kube-scheduler flags are now deprecated. ([#52562](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52562),[ @ironcladlou](https://github.com/ironcladlou))
### **Node**
* The kubelet's `--enable-custom-metrics` flag is now deprecated. ([#54154](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54154),[ @mtaufen](https://github.com/mtaufen))
## Notable Changes
### **Workloads API (apps/v1)**
As announced with the release of version 1.8, the Kubernetes Workloads API is at v1 in version 1.9. This API consists of the DaemonSet, Deployment, ReplicaSet and StatefulSet kinds.
### **API Machinery**
#### **Admission Control**
* Admission webhooks are now in beta, and include the following:
* Mutation support for admission webhooks. ([#54892](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54892),[ @caesarxuchao](https://github.com/caesarxuchao))
* Webhook admission now takes a config file that describes how to authenticate to webhook servers ([#54414](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54414),[ @deads2k](https://github.com/deads2k))
* The dynamic admission webhook now supports a URL in addition to a service reference, to accommodate out-of-cluster webhooks. ([#54889](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54889),[ @lavalamp](https://github.com/lavalamp))
* Added `namespaceSelector` to `externalAdmissionWebhook` configuration to allow applying webhooks only to objects in the namespaces that have matching labels. ([#54727](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54727),[ @caesarxuchao](https://github.com/caesarxuchao))
* Metrics are added for monitoring admission plugins, including the new dynamic (webhook-based) ones. ([#55183](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55183),[ @jpbetz](https://github.com/jpbetz))
* The PodSecurityPolicy annotation kubernetes.io/psp on pods is set only once on create. ([#55486](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55486),[ @sttts](https://github.com/sttts))
#### **API & API server**
* Fixed a bug related to discovery information for scale subresources in the apps API group ([#54683](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54683),[ @liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))
* Fixed a bug that prevented client-go metrics from being registered in Prometheus. This bug affected multiple components. ([#53434](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53434),[ @crassirostris](https://github.com/crassirostris))
#### **Audit**
* Fixed a bug so that `kube-apiserver` now waits for open connections to finish before exiting. This fix provides graceful shutdown and ensures that the audit backend no longer drops events on shutdown. ([#53695](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53695),[ @hzxuzhonghu](https://github.com/hzxuzhonghu))
* Webhooks now always retry sending if a connection reset error is returned. ([#53947](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53947),[ @crassirostris](https://github.com/crassirostris))
#### **Custom Resources**
* Validation of resources defined by a Custom Resource Definition (CRD) is now in beta ([#54647](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54647),[ @colemickens](https://github.com/colemickens))
* An example CRD controller has been added, at [github.com/kubernetes/sample-controller](github.com/kubernetes/sample-controller). ([#52753](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52753),[ @munnerz](https://github.com/munnerz))
* Custom resources served by CustomResourceDefinition objects now support field selectors for `metadata.name` and `metadata.namespace`. Also fixed an issue with watching a single object; earlier versions could watch only a collection, and so a watch on an instance would fail. ([#53345](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53345),[ @ncdc](https://github.com/ncdc))
#### **Other**
* `kube-apiserver` now runs with the default value for `service-cluster-ip-range` ([#52870](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52870),[ @jennybuckley](https://github.com/jennybuckley))

* The httpstream/spdy calls now support CIDR notation for NO_PROXY ([#54413](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54413),[ @kad](https://github.com/kad))
* Code generation for CRD and User API server types is improved with the addition of two new scripts to k8s.io/code-generator: `generate-groups.sh` and `generate-internal-groups.sh`. ([#52186](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52186),[ @sttts](https://github.com/sttts))
* [beta] Flag `--chunk-size={SIZE}` is added to `kubectl get` to customize the number of results returned in large lists of resources. This reduces the perceived latency of managing large clusters because the server returns the first set of results to the client much more quickly. Pass 0 to disable this feature.([#53768](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53768),[ @smarterclayton](https://github.com/smarterclayton))
* [beta] API chunking via the limit and continue request parameters is promoted to beta in this release. Client libraries using the Informer or ListWatch types will automatically opt in to chunking. ([#52949](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52949),[ @smarterclayton](https://github.com/smarterclayton))
* The `--etcd-quorum-read` flag now defaults to true to ensure correct operation with HA etcd clusters. This flag is deprecated and the flag will be removed in future versions, as well as the ability to turn off this functionality. ([#53717](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53717),[ @liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

* Fixed a bug where API discovery failures were crashing the kube controller manager via the garbage collector. ([#55259](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55259),[ @ironcladlou](https://github.com/ironcladlou))
* `conversion-gen` is now usable in a context without a vendored k8s.io/kubernetes. The Kubernetes core API is removed from `default extra-peer-dirs`. ([#54394](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54394),[ @sttts](https://github.com/sttts))
* Fixed a bug where the `client-gen` tag for code-generator required a newline between a comment block and a statement. tag shortcomings when newline is omitted ([#53893](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53893)) ([#55233](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55233),[ @sttts](https://github.com/sttts))
* The Apiserver proxy now rewrites the URL when a service returns an absolute path with the request's host. ([#52556](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52556),[ @roycaihw](https://github.com/roycaihw))
* The gRPC library is updated to pick up data race fix ([#53124](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53124)) ([#53128](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53128),[ @dixudx](https://github.com/dixudx))
* Fixed server name verification of aggregated API servers and webhook admission endpoints ([#56415](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/56415),[ @liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))
### **Apps**
* The `kubernetes.io/created-by` annotation is no longer added to controller-created objects. Use the `metadata.ownerReferences` item with controller set to `true` to determine which controller, if any, owns an object. ([#54445](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54445),[ @crimsonfaith91](https://github.com/crimsonfaith91))
* StatefulSet controller now creates a label for each Pod in a StatefulSet. The label is `statefulset.kubernetes.io/pod-name`, where `pod-name` = the name of the Pod. This allows users to create a Service per Pod to expose a connection to individual Pods. ([#55329](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55329),[ @kow3ns](https://github.com/kow3ns))
* DaemonSet status includes a new field named `conditions`, making it consistent with other workloads controllers. ([#55272](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55272),[ @janetkuo](https://github.com/janetkuo))
* StatefulSet status now supports conditions, making it consistent with other core controllers in v1 ([#55268](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55268),[ @foxish](https://github.com/foxish))
* The default garbage collection policy for Deployment, DaemonSet, StatefulSet, and ReplicaSet has changed from OrphanDependents to DeleteDependents when the deletion is requested through an `apps/v1` endpoint. ([#55148](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55148),[ @dixudx](https://github.com/dixudx))
* Clients using older endpoints will be unaffected. This change is only at the REST API level and is independent of the default behavior of particular clients (e.g. this does not affect the default for the kubectl `--cascade` flag).
* If you upgrade your client-go libs and use the `AppsV1()` interface, please note that the default garbage collection behavior is changed.
### **Auth**
#### **Audit**
* RequestReceivedTimestamp and StageTimestamp are added to audit events ([#52981](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52981),[ @CaoShuFeng](https://github.com/CaoShuFeng))

* The default admin and edit roles now include read/write permissions
* The view role includes read permissions on poddisruptionbudget.policy resources.
* RBAC rules can now match the same subresource on any resource using the form `*/(subresource)`. For example, `*/scale` matches requests to `replicationcontroller/scale`. ([#53722](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53722),[ @deads2k](https://github.com/deads2k))
* The RBAC bootstrapping policy now allows authenticated users to create selfsubjectrulesreviews. ([#56095](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/56095),[ @ericchiang](https://github.com/ericchiang))
* RBAC ClusterRoles can now select other roles to aggregate. ([#54005](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54005),[ @deads2k](https://github.com/deads2k))
* Fixed an issue with RBAC reconciliation that caused duplicated subjects in some bootstrapped RoleBinding objects on each restart of the API server. ([#53239](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53239),[ @enj](https://github.com/enj))
#### **Other**

* Fixed a bug that where forbidden errors were encountered when accessing ReplicaSet and DaemonSets objects via the apps API group. ([#54309](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54309),[ @liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))
* Improved PodSecurityPolicy admission latency. ([#55643](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55643),[ @tallclair](https://github.com/tallclair))
* kube-apiserver: `--oidc-username-prefix` and `--oidc-group-prefix` flags are now correctly enabled. ([#56175](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/56175),[ @ericchiang](https://github.com/ericchiang))
* If multiple PodSecurityPolicy objects allow a submitted pod, priority is given to policies that do not require default values for any fields in the pod spec. If default values are required, the first policy ordered by name that allows the pod is used. ([#52849](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52849),[ @liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))
* A new controller automatically cleans up Certificate Signing Requests that are Approved and Issued, or Denied. ([#51840](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51840),[ @jcbsmpsn](https://github.com/jcbsmpsn))
* PodSecurityPolicies have been added for all in-tree cluster addons ([#55509](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55509),[ @tallclair](https://github.com/tallclair))
#### **GCE**
* Added support for PodSecurityPolicy on GCE: `ENABLE_POD_SECURITY_POLICY=true` enables the admission controller, and installs policies for default addons. ([#52367](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52367),[ @tallclair](https://github.com/tallclair))
### **Autoscaling**
* HorizontalPodAutoscaler objects now properly functions on scalable resources in any API group. Fixed by adding a polymorphic scale client. ([#53743](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53743),[ @DirectXMan12](https://github.com/DirectXMan12))
* Fixed a set of minor issues with Cluster Autoscaler 1.0.1 ([#54298](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54298),[ @mwielgus](https://github.com/mwielgus))

* Secret data containing Docker registry auth objects is now generated using the config.json format ([#53916](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53916),[ @juanvallejo](https://github.com/juanvallejo))
* `kubectl apply` now calculates the diff between the current and new configurations based on the OpenAPI spec. If the OpenAPI spec is not available, it falls back to baked-in types. ([#51321](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51321),[ @mengqiy](https://github.com/mengqiy))
* `kubectl explain` now explains `apiservices` and `customresourcedefinition`. (Updated to use OpenAPI instead of Swagger 1.2.) ([#53228](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53228),[ @apelisse](https://github.com/apelisse))
* `kubectl get` now uses OpenAPI schema extensions by default to select columns for custom types. ([#53483](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53483),[ @apelisse](https://github.com/apelisse))
* kubectl `top node` now sorts by name and `top pod` sorts by namespace. Fixed a bug where results were inconsistently sorted. ([#53560](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53560),[ @dixudx](https://github.com/dixudx))

* Added kubectl `create priorityclass` subcommand ([#54858](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54858),[ @wackxu](https://github.com/wackxu))
* Fixed an issue where `kubectl set` commands occasionally encountered conversion errors for ReplicaSet and DaemonSet objects ([#53158](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53158),[ @liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))
### **Cluster Lifecycle**
#### **API Server**
* [alpha] Added an `--endpoint-reconciler-type` command-line argument to select the endpoint reconciler to use. The default is to use the 'master-count' reconciler which is the default for 1.9 and in use prior to 1.9. The 'lease' reconciler stores endpoints within the storage api for better cleanup of deleted (or removed) API servers. The 'none' reconciler is a no-op reconciler, which can be used in self-hosted environments. ([#51698](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51698), [@rphillips](https://github.com/rphillips))
#### **Cloud Provider Integration**
* Added `cloud-controller-manager` to `hyperkube`. This is useful as a number of deployment tools run all of the kubernetes components from the `hyperkube `image/binary. It also makes testing easier as a single binary/image can be built and pushed quickly. ([#54197](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54197),[ @colemickens](https://github.com/colemickens))

### **Instrumentation**
#### **Audit**
* Adjust batching audit webhook default parameters: increase queue size, batch size, and initial backoff. Add throttling to the batching audit webhook. Default rate limit is 10 QPS. ([#53417](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53417),[ @crassirostris](https://github.com/crassirostris))
* These parameters are also now configurable. ([#56638](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/56638), [@crassirostris](https://github.com/crassirostris))
#### **Other**
* Fix a typo in prometheus-to-sd configuration, that drops some stackdriver metrics. ([#56473](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/56473),[ @loburm](https://github.com/loburm))

* You can now add "options" to the host's /etc/resolv.conf (or --resolv-conf), and they will be copied into pod's resolv.conf when dnsPolicy is Default. Being able to customize options is important because it is common to leverage options to fine-tune the behavior of DNS client. ([#54773](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54773),[ @phsiao](https://github.com/phsiao))
* Fixed a bug so that the service controller no longer retries if doNotRetry service update fails. ([#54184](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54184),[ @MrHohn](https://github.com/MrHohn))

##### **Other**
* Fixed a performance issue ([#51899](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51899)) identified in large-scale clusters when deleting thousands of pods simultaneously across hundreds of nodes, by actively removing containers of deleted pods, rather than waiting for periodic garbage collection and batching resulting pod API deletion requests.

* Kubelet now uses an explicit cm.GetDevicePluginResourceCapacity() function that makes it possible to more accurately determine what resources are inactive and return a more accurate view of available resources.
* Extends the device plugin checkpoint data to record registered resources so that we can finish resource removing devices even upon kubelet restarts.
* Passes sourcesReady from kubelet to the device plugin to avoid removing inactive pods during the grace period of kubelet restart.
* Extends the gpu_device_plugin e2e_node test to verify that scheduled pods can continue to run even after a device plugin deletion and kubelet restart.

* Kubernetes will now automatically determine the security group for the node
* Nodes can now belong to multiple security groups
### **Scheduling**
#### **Hardware Accelerators**
* Add ExtendedResourceToleration admission controller. This facilitates creation of dedicated nodes with extended resources. If operators want to create dedicated nodes with extended resources (such as GPUs, FPGAs, and so on), they are expected to taint the node with extended resource name as the key. This admission controller, if enabled, automatically adds tolerations for such taints to pods requesting extended resources, so users don't have to manually add these tolerations. ([#55839](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55839),[ @mindprince](https://github.com/mindprince))
#### **Other**
* Scheduler cache ignores updates to an assumed pod if updates are limited to pod annotations. ([#54008](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54008),[ @yguo0905](https://github.com/yguo0905))

* Apply algorithm in scheduler by feature gates. ([#52723](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52723),[ @k82cn](https://github.com/k82cn))
* A new priority function ResourceLimitsPriorityMap (disabled by default and behind alpha feature gate and not part of the scheduler's default priority functions list) that assigns a lowest possible score of 1 to a node that satisfies one or both of input pod's cpu and memory limits, mainly to break ties between nodes with same scores. ([#55906](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55906),[ @aveshagarwal](https://github.com/aveshagarwal))
* Kubelet evictions now take pod priority into account ([#53542](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53542),[ @dashpole](https://github.com/dashpole))
* PodTolerationRestriction admisson plugin: if namespace level tolerations are empty, now they override cluster level tolerations. ([#54812](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54812),[ @aveshagarwal](https://github.com/aveshagarwal))

## Changelog since v1.9.0-alpha.3
### Action Required
* Adds alpha support for volume scheduling, which allows the scheduler to make PersistentVolume binding decisions while respecting the Pod's scheduling requirements. Dynamic provisioning is not supported with this feature yet. ([#55039](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55039), [@msau42](https://github.com/msau42))
* Action required for existing users of the LocalPersistentVolumes alpha feature:
* The VolumeScheduling feature gate also has to be enabled on kube-scheduler and kube-controller-manager.
* The NoVolumeNodeConflict predicate has been removed. For non-default schedulers, update your scheduler policy.
* The CheckVolumeBinding predicate has to be enabled in non-default schedulers.
* Action required: ([#56004](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/56004), [@caesarxuchao](https://github.com/caesarxuchao))
* The `admission/v1alpha1` API has graduated to `v1beta1`. Please delete your existing webhooks before upgrading the cluster, and update your admission webhooks to use the latest API, because the API has backwards incompatible changes.
* The webhook registration related part of the `admissionregistration` API has graduated to `v1beta1`. Please delete your existing configurations before upgrading the cluster, and update your configuration file to use the latest API.
* [action required] kubeadm join: Error out if CA pinning isn't used or opted out of ([#55468](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55468), [@yuexiao-wang](https://github.com/yuexiao-wang))
* kubeadm now requires the user to specify either the `--discovery-token-ca-cert-hash` flag or the `--discovery-token-unsafe-skip-ca-verification` flag.
### Other notable changes
* A new priority function `ResourceLimitsPriorityMap` (disabled by default and behind alpha feature gate and not part of the scheduler's default priority functions list) that assigns a lowest possible score of 1 to a node that satisfies one or both of input pod's cpu and memory limits, mainly to break ties between nodes with same scores. ([#55906](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55906), [@aveshagarwal](https://github.com/aveshagarwal))
* AWS: Fix detaching volume from stopped nodes. ([#55893](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55893), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied))

* The default garbage collection policy for Deployment, DaemonSet, StatefulSet, and ReplicaSet has changed from OrphanDependents to DeleteDependents when the deletion is requested through an `apps/v1` endpoint. Clients using older endpoints will be unaffected. This change is only at the REST API level and is independent of the default behavior of particular clients (e.g. this does not affect the default for the kubectl `--cascade` flag). ([#55148](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55148), [@dixudx](https://github.com/dixudx))
* If you upgrade your client-go libs and use the `AppsV1()` interface, please note that the default garbage collection behavior is changed.

* Add containerd monitoring support ([#56109](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/56109), [@dashpole](https://github.com/dashpole))
* Add pod-level CPU and memory stats from pod cgroup information ([#55969](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55969), [@jingxu97](https://github.com/jingxu97))
* kubectl apply use openapi to calculate diff be default. It will fall back to use baked-in types when openapi is not available. ([#51321](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51321), [@mengqiy](https://github.com/mengqiy))
* It is now possible to override the healthcheck parameters for AWS ELBs via annotations on the corresponding service. The new annotations are `healthy-threshold`, `unhealthy-threshold`, `timeout`, `interval` (all prefixed with `service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-healthcheck-`) ([#56024](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/56024), [@dimpavloff](https://github.com/dimpavloff))

* StatefulSet controller will create a label for each Pod in a StatefulSet. The label is named statefulset.kubernetes.io/pod-name and it is equal to the name of the Pod. This allows users to create a Service per Pod to expose a connection to individual Pods. ([#55329](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55329), [@kow3ns](https://github.com/kow3ns))
* Initial basic bootstrap-checkpoint support ([#50984](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/50984), [@timothysc](https://github.com/timothysc))

* Fix a bug in GCE multizonal clusters where PersistentVolumes were sometimes created in zones without nodes. ([#52322](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52322), [@davidz627](https://github.com/davidz627))
* With this change ([#55845](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55845), [@rohitjogvmw](https://github.com/rohitjogvmw))
* - User should be able to create k8s cluster which spans across multiple ESXi clusters, datacenters or even vCenters.
* - vSphere cloud provider (VCP) uses OS hostname and not vSphere Inventory VM Name.
* That means, now VCP can handle cases where user changes VM inventory name.
* - VCP can handle cases where VM migrates to other ESXi cluster or datacenter or vCenter.
* The only requirement is the shared storage. VCP needs shared storage on all Node VMs.
* The RBAC bootstrapping policy now allows authenticated users to create selfsubjectrulesreviews. ([#56095](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/56095), [@ericchiang](https://github.com/ericchiang))

* Add ExtendedResourceToleration admission controller. This facilitates creation of dedicated nodes with extended resources. If operators want to create dedicated nodes with extended resources (like GPUs, FPGAs etc.), they are expected to taint the node with extended resource name as the key. This admission controller, if enabled, automatically adds tolerations for such taints to pods requesting extended resources, so users don't have to manually add these tolerations. ([#55839](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55839), [@mindprince](https://github.com/mindprince))
* Move unreachable taint key out of alpha. ([#54208](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54208), [@resouer](https://github.com/resouer))
* Please note the existing pods with the alpha toleration should be updated by user himself to tolerate the GA taint.
* add GRS, RAGRS storage account type support for azure disk ([#55931](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55931), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))
* Upgrading the kubernetes-master units now results in staged upgrades just like the kubernetes-worker nodes. Use the upgrade action in order to continue the upgrade process on each unit such as `juju run-action kubernetes-master/0 upgrade` ([#55990](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55990), [@hyperbolic2346](https://github.com/hyperbolic2346))
* Using ipset doing SNAT and packet filtering in IPVS kube-proxy ([#54219](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54219), [@m1093782566](https://github.com/m1093782566))
* Add a new scheduling queue that helps schedule the highest priority pending pod first. ([#55109](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55109), [@bsalamat](https://github.com/bsalamat))
* Adds to **kubeadm upgrade apply**, a new **--etcd-upgrade** keyword. When this keyword is specified, etcd's static pod gets upgraded to the etcd version officially recommended for a target kubernetes release. ([#55010](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55010), [@sbezverk](https://github.com/sbezverk))

* Allow code-generator tags in the 2nd closest comment block and directly above a statement. ([#55233](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55233), [@sttts](https://github.com/sttts))
* Ensure additional resource tags are set/updated AWS load balancers ([#55731](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55731), [@georgebuckerfield](https://github.com/georgebuckerfield))
* `kubectl get` will now use OpenAPI schema extensions by default to select columns for custom types. ([#53483](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53483), [@apelisse](https://github.com/apelisse))
* AWS: Apply taint to a node if volumes being attached to it are stuck in attaching state ([#55558](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55558), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied))
* Kubeadm now supports for Kubelet Dynamic Configuration. ([#55803](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55803), [@xiangpengzhao](https://github.com/xiangpengzhao))

* action-required: please update your admission webhook to use the latest [Admission API](https://github.com/kubernetes/api/tree/master/admission). ([#55829](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55829), [@cheftako](https://github.com/cheftako))
* `admission/v1alpha1#AdmissionReview` now contains `AdmissionRequest` and `AdmissionResponse`. `AdmissionResponse` includes a `Patch` field to allow mutating webhooks to send json patch to the apiserver.
* support mount options in azure file ([#54674](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54674), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))
* Support AWS ECR credentials in China ([#50108](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/50108), [@zzq889](https://github.com/zzq889))

## Changelog since v1.8.0
### Action Required
* PodSecurityPolicy: Fixes a compatibility issue that caused policies that previously allowed privileged pods to start forbidding them, due to an incorrect default value for `allowPrivilegeEscalation`. PodSecurityPolicy objects defined using a 1.8.0 client or server that intended to set `allowPrivilegeEscalation` to `false` must be reapplied after upgrading to 1.8.1. ([#53443](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53443), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))
* RBAC objects are now stored in etcd in v1 format. After completing an upgrade to 1.9, RBAC objects (Roles, RoleBindings, ClusterRoles, ClusterRoleBindings) should be migrated to ensure all persisted objects are written in `v1` format, prior to `v1alpha1` support being removed in a future release. ([#52950](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52950), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))
### Other notable changes
* Log error of failed healthz check ([#53048](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53048), [@mrIncompetent](https://github.com/mrIncompetent))
* fix azure file mount limit issue on windows due to using drive letter ([#53629](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53629), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))
* Update AWS SDK to 1.12.7 ([#53561](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53561), [@justinsb](https://github.com/justinsb))
* The `kubernetes.io/created-by` annotation is no longer added to controller-created objects. Use the `metadata.ownerReferences` item that has `controller` set to `true` to determine which controller, if any, owns an object. ([#54445](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54445), [@crimsonfaith91](https://github.com/crimsonfaith91))
* Fix overlay2 container disk metrics for Docker and CRI-O ([#54827](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54827), [@dashpole](https://github.com/dashpole))
* Fix iptables FORWARD policy for Docker 1.13 in kubernetes-worker charm ([#54796](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54796), [@Cynerva](https://github.com/Cynerva))
* Fix `kubeadm upgrade plan` for offline operation: ignore errors when trying to fetch latest versions from dl.k8s.io ([#54016](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54016), [@praseodym](https://github.com/praseodym))
* fluentd now supports CRI log format. ([#54777](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54777), [@Random-Liu](https://github.com/Random-Liu))
* Validate that PersistentVolumeSource is not changed during PV Update ([#54761](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54761), [@ianchakeres](https://github.com/ianchakeres))
* If you are using the cloud provider API to determine the external host address of the apiserver, set --external-hostname explicitly instead. The cloud provider detection has been deprecated and will be removed in the future ([#54516](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54516), [@dims](https://github.com/dims))
* Fixes discovery information for scale subresources in the apps API group ([#54683](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54683), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))
* Optimize Repeated registration of AlgorithmProvider when ApplyFeatureGates ([#54047](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54047), [@kuramal](https://github.com/kuramal))
* `kubectl get` will by default fetch large lists of resources in chunks of up to 500 items rather than requesting all resources up front from the server. This reduces the perceived latency of managing large clusters since the server returns the first set of results to the client much more quickly. A new flag `--chunk-size=SIZE` may be used to alter the number of items or disable this feature when `0` is passed. This is a beta feature. ([#53768](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53768), [@smarterclayton](https://github.com/smarterclayton))
* Add a new feature gate for enabling an alpha annotation which, if present, excludes the annotated node from being added to a service load balancers. ([#54644](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54644), [@brendandburns](https://github.com/brendandburns))

* Development of Kubernetes Federation has moved to github.com/kubernetes/federation. This move out of tree also means that Federation will begin releasing separately from Kubernetes. The impact of this is Federation-specific behavior will no longer be included in kubectl, kubefed will no longer be released as part of Kubernetes, and the Federation servers will no longer be included in the hyperkube binary and image. ([#53816](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53816), [@marun](https://github.com/marun))
* Metadata concealment on GCE is now controlled by the `ENABLE_METADATA_CONCEALMENT` env var. See cluster/gce/config-default.sh for more info. ([#54150](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54150), [@ihmccreery](https://github.com/ihmccreery))
* Fixed a bug which is causes kube-apiserver to not run without specifying service-cluster-ip-range ([#52870](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52870), [@jennybuckley](https://github.com/jennybuckley))
* the generic admission webhook is now available in the generic apiserver ([#54513](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54513), [@deads2k](https://github.com/deads2k))

## Changelog since v1.8.0-alpha.3
### Action Required
* New GCE or GKE clusters created with `cluster/kube-up.sh` will not enable the legacy ABAC authorizer by default. If you would like to enable the legacy ABAC authorizer, export ENABLE_LEGACY_ABAC=true before running `cluster/kube-up.sh`. ([#51367](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51367), [@cjcullen](https://github.com/cjcullen))
* The OwnerReferencesPermissionEnforcement admission plugin now requires `update` permission on the `finalizers` subresource of the referenced owner in order to set `blockOwnerDeletion` on an owner reference. ([#49133](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/49133), [@deads2k](https://github.com/deads2k))
* The deprecated alpha and beta initContainer annotations are no longer supported. Init containers must be specified using the initContainers field in the pod spec. ([#51816](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51816), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))
* Action required: validation rule on metadata.initializers.pending[x].name is tightened. The initializer name needs to contain at least three segments separated by dots. If you create objects with pending initializers, (i.e., not relying on apiserver adding pending initializers according to initializerconfiguration), you need to update the initializer name in existing objects and in configuration files to comply to the new validation rule. ([#51283](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51283), [@caesarxuchao](https://github.com/caesarxuchao))
* Audit policy supports matching subresources and resource names, but the top level resource no longer matches the subresouce. For example "pods" no longer matches requests to the logs subresource of pods. Use "pods/logs" to match subresources. ([#48836](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/48836), [@ericchiang](https://github.com/ericchiang))
* Protobuf serialization does not distinguish between `[]` and `null`. ([#45294](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/45294), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))
* API fields previously capable of storing and returning either `[]` and `null` via JSON API requests (for example, the Endpoints `subsets` field) can now store only `null` when created using the protobuf content-type or stored in etcd using protobuf serialization (the default in 1.6+). JSON API clients should tolerate `null` values for such fields, and treat `null` and `[]` as equivalent in meaning unless specifically documented otherwise for a particular field.
### Other notable changes
* PersistentVolumeLabel admission controller is now deprecated. ([#52618](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52618), [@dims](https://github.com/dims))
* Mark the LBaaS v1 of OpenStack cloud provider deprecated. ([#52821](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52821), [@FengyunPan](https://github.com/FengyunPan))
* NONE ([#52819](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52819), [@verult](https://github.com/verult))
* Mark image as deliberately optional in v1 Container struct. Many objects in the Kubernetes API inherit the container struct and only Pods require the field to be set. ([#48406](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/48406), [@gyliu513](https://github.com/gyliu513))
* [fluentd-gcp addon] Update Stackdriver plugin to version 0.6.7 ([#52565](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52565), [@crassirostris](https://github.com/crassirostris))
* Remove duplicate proto errors in kubelet. ([#52132](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52132), [@adityadani](https://github.com/adityadani))
* [fluentd-gcp addon] Remove audit logs from the fluentd configuration ([#52777](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52777), [@crassirostris](https://github.com/crassirostris))
* Set defaults for successfulJobsHistoryLimit (3) and failedJobsHistoryLimit (1) in batch/v1beta1.CronJobs ([#52533](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52533), [@soltysh](https://github.com/soltysh))
* Fix: update system spec to support Docker 17.03 ([#52666](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52666), [@yguo0905](https://github.com/yguo0905))
* Fix panic in ControllerManager on GCE when it has a problem with creating external loadbalancer healthcheck ([#52646](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52646), [@gmarek](https://github.com/gmarek))
* PSP: add support for using `*` as a value in `allowedCapabilities` to allow to request any capabilities ([#51337](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51337), [@php-coder](https://github.com/php-coder))
* [fluentd-gcp addon] By default ingest apiserver audit logs written to file in JSON format. ([#52541](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52541), [@crassirostris](https://github.com/crassirostris))
* The autoscaling/v2beta1 API group is now enabled by default. ([#52549](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52549), [@DirectXMan12](https://github.com/DirectXMan12))
* Add CLUSTER_SIGNING_DURATION environment variable to cluster ([#52497](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52497), [@jcbsmpsn](https://github.com/jcbsmpsn))
* configuration scripts to allow configuration of signing duration of
* certificates issued via the Certificate Signing Request API.
* Introduce policy to allow the HPA to consume the metrics.k8s.io and custom.metrics.k8s.io API groups. ([#52572](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52572), [@DirectXMan12](https://github.com/DirectXMan12))
* kubelet to master communication when doing node status updates now has a timeout to prevent indefinite hangs ([#52176](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52176), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))
* Introduced Metrics Server in version v0.2.0. For more details see https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/metrics-server/releases/tag/v0.2.0. ([#52548](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52548), [@piosz](https://github.com/piosz))
* Adds ROTATE_CERTIFICATES environment variable to kube-up.sh script for GCE ([#52115](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52115), [@jcbsmpsn](https://github.com/jcbsmpsn))
* clusters. When that var is set to true, the command line flag enabling kubelet
* client certificate rotation will be added to the kubelet command line.
* Make sure that resources being updated are handled correctly by Quota system ([#52452](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52452), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied))
* WATCHLIST calls are now reported as WATCH verbs in prometheus for the apiserver_request_* series. A new "scope" label is added to all apiserver_request_* values that is either 'cluster', 'resource', or 'namespace' depending on which level the query is performed at. ([#52237](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52237), [@smarterclayton](https://github.com/smarterclayton))
* Fixed the webhook admission plugin so that it works even if the apiserver and the nodes are in two networks (e.g., in GKE). ([#50476](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/50476), [@caesarxuchao](https://github.com/caesarxuchao))
* Fixed the webhook admission plugin so that webhook author could use the DNS name of the service as the CommonName when generating the server cert for the webhook.
* Action required:
* Anyone who generated server cert for admission webhooks need to regenerate the cert. Previously, when generating server cert for the admission webhook, the CN value doesn't matter. Now you must set it to the DNS name of the webhook service, i.e., `<service.Name>.<service.Namespace>.svc`.
* Ignore pods marked for deletion that exceed their grace period in ResourceQuota ([#46542](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/46542), [@derekwaynecarr](https://github.com/derekwaynecarr))
* custom resources that use unconventional pluralization now work properly with kubectl and garbage collection ([#50012](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/50012), [@deads2k](https://github.com/deads2k))
* [fluentd-gcp addon] Fluentd will trim lines exceeding 100KB instead of dropping them. ([#52289](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52289), [@crassirostris](https://github.com/crassirostris))
* dockershim: check the error when syncing the checkpoint. ([#52125](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52125), [@yujuhong](https://github.com/yujuhong))
* By default, clusters on GCE no longer sends RequestReceived audit event, if advanced audit is configured. ([#52343](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52343), [@crassirostris](https://github.com/crassirostris))
* [BugFix] Soft Eviction timer works correctly ([#52046](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52046), [@dashpole](https://github.com/dashpole))
* Azuredisk mount on windows node ([#51252](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51252), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))
* [fluentd-gcp addon] Bug with event-exporter leaking memory on metrics in clusters with CA is fixed. ([#52263](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52263), [@crassirostris](https://github.com/crassirostris))
* kubeadm: Enable kubelet client certificate rotation ([#52196](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52196), [@luxas](https://github.com/luxas))
* Scheduler predicate developer should respect equivalence class cache ([#52146](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52146), [@resouer](https://github.com/resouer))
* The `kube-cloud-controller-manager` flag `--service-account-private-key-file` was non-functional and is now deprecated. ([#50289](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/50289), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))
* The `kube-cloud-controller-manager` flag `--use-service-account-credentials` is now honored consistently, regardless of whether `--service-account-private-key-file` was specified.
* Fix credentials providers for docker sandbox image. ([#51870](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51870), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer))

* Signing Request API.
* Adding German translation for kubectl ([#51867](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51867), [@Steffen911](https://github.com/Steffen911))
* The ScaleIO volume plugin can now read the SDC GUID value as node label scaleio.sdcGuid; if binary drv_cfg is not installed, the plugin will still work properly; if node label not found, it defaults to drv_cfg if installed. ([#50780](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/50780), [@vladimirvivien](https://github.com/vladimirvivien))
* A policy with 0 rules should return an error ([#51782](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51782), [@charrywanganthony](https://github.com/charrywanganthony))

* The Deployment, DaemonSet, and ReplicaSet kinds in the extensions/v1beta1 group version are now deprecated, as are the Deployment, StatefulSet, and ControllerRevision kinds in apps/v1beta1. As they will not be removed until after a GA version becomes available, you may continue to use these kinds in existing code. However, all new code should be developed against the apps/v1beta2 group version. ([#51828](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51828), [@kow3ns](https://github.com/kow3ns))

* Add flag "--include-uninitialized" to kubectl annotate, apply, edit-last-applied, delete, describe, edit, get, label, set. "--include-uninitialized=true" makes kubectl commands apply to uninitialized objects, which by default are ignored if the names of the objects are not provided.

([#50497](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/50497), [@dixudx](https://github.com/dixudx))
* GCE: Service object now supports "Network Tiers" as an Alpha feature via annotations. ([#51301](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51301), [@yujuhong](https://github.com/yujuhong))
* When using kube-up.sh on GCE, user could set env `ENABLE_POD_PRIORITY=true` to enable pod priority feature gate. ([#51069](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51069), [@MrHohn](https://github.com/MrHohn))
* The names generated for ControllerRevision and ReplicaSet are consistent with the GenerateName functionality of the API Server and will not contain "bad words". ([#51538](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51538), [@kow3ns](https://github.com/kow3ns))
* PersistentVolumeClaim metrics like "volume_stats_inodes" and "volume_stats_capacity_bytes" are now reported via kubelet prometheus ([#51553](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51553), [@wongma7](https://github.com/wongma7))
* When using IP aliases, use a secondary range rather than subnetwork to reserve cluster IPs. ([#51690](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51690), [@bowei](https://github.com/bowei))
* IPAM controller unifies handling of node pod CIDR range allocation. ([#51374](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51374), [@bowei](https://github.com/bowei))
* It is intended to supersede the logic that is currently in range_allocator
* and cloud_cidr_allocator. (ALPHA FEATURE)
* Note: for this change, the other allocators still exist and are the default.
* It supports two modes:
* CIDR range allocations done within the cluster that are then propagated out to the cloud provider.
* Cloud provider managed IPAM that is then reflected into the cluster.
* The Kubernetes API server now supports the ability to break large LIST calls into multiple smaller chunks. A client can specify a limit to the number of results to return, and if more results exist a token will be returned that allows the client to continue the previous list call repeatedly until all results are retrieved. The resulting list is identical to a list call that does not perform chunking thanks to capabilities provided by etcd3. This allows the server to use less memory and CPU responding with very large lists. This feature is gated as APIListChunking and is not enabled by default. The 1.9 release will begin using this by default from all informers. ([#48921](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/48921), [@smarterclayton](https://github.com/smarterclayton))

* Switch JSON marshal/unmarshal to json-iterator library. Performance should be close to previous with no generated code. ([#48287](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/48287), [@thockin](https://github.com/thockin))
* Adds optional group and version information to the discovery interface, so that if an endpoint uses non-default values, the proper value of "kind" can be determined. Scale is a common example. ([#49971](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/49971), [@deads2k](https://github.com/deads2k))
* Fix security holes in GCE metadata proxy. ([#51302](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51302), [@ihmccreery](https://github.com/ihmccreery))
* [#43077](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/43077) introduced a condition where DaemonSet controller did not respect the TerminationGracePeriodSeconds of the Pods it created. This is now corrected. ([#51279](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51279), [@kow3ns](https://github.com/kow3ns))
* Tainted nodes by conditions as following: ([#49257](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/49257), [@k82cn](https://github.com/k82cn))
* 'node.kubernetes.io/network-unavailable=:NoSchedule' if NetworkUnavailable is true

([#50719](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/50719), [@crimsonfaith91](https://github.com/crimsonfaith91))
* Allows kubectl to use http caching mechanism for the OpenAPI schema. The cache directory can be configured through `--cache-dir` command line flag to kubectl. If set to empty string, caching will be disabled. ([#50404](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/50404), [@apelisse](https://github.com/apelisse))
* Pod log attempts are now reported in apiserver prometheus metrics with verb `CONNECT` since they can run for very long periods of time. ([#50123](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/50123), [@WIZARD-CXY](https://github.com/WIZARD-CXY))
* The `emptyDir.sizeLimit` field is now correctly omitted from API requests and responses when unset. ([#50163](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/50163), [@jingxu97](https://github.com/jingxu97))
