is deprecated. All other scale operations remain in place, but the ability to scale jobs will be removed in a future release.  ([#60139](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/60139), [@soltysh](https://github.com/soltysh))

* Flags that can be set via the [Kubelet's --config file](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/kubelet-config-file/) are now deprecated in favor of the file. ([#60148](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/60148), [@mtaufen](https://github.com/mtaufen))...

*   `etcd2` as a backend is deprecated and support will be removed in Kubernetes 1.13 or 1.14.

### **Auth**

- When dynamically provisioning Azure File volumes for a premium account, the requested size will be set to 100GB if the request is initially lower than this value to accommodate Azure File requirements. ([#99122](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99122), [@huffmanca](https://github.com/huffmanca)) [SIG Cloud Provider and Storage]

- Kubelet config file will be backed up to `/etc/kubernetes/tmp/` folder with `kubeadm-kubelet-config` append with a random suffix as the filename ([#114695](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114695), [@chendave](https://github.com/chendave)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]
- Kubelet no longer creates certain legacy iptables rules by default.
  It is possible that this will cause problems with some third-party components

Table;v=v1alpha1;g=meta.k8s.io`.  The returned object (if the server supports it) will be of type `meta.k8s.io/v1alpha1` with `Table`, and contain column and row information related to the resource.  Each row will contain information about the resource - by default it will be the object metadata, but callers can add the `?includeObject=Object` query parameter and receive the full object.  In the future kubectl will use this to retrieve the results of `kubectl get`. ([#40848](https://github.com/k...

- We will no longer automatically delete all data when a failure is detected during creation of the volume data file on a CSI volume. Now we will only remove the data file and volume path.

## Dependencies

`hostPort` field set automatically. Previously this would happen in the PodTemplate of a Deployment, DaemonSet or other workload API.  Now `hostPort` will only be set when an actual Pod is being created.  If this presents a problem, setting the feature gate "DefaultHostNetworkHostPortsInPodTemplates" to true will revert this behavior.  Please file a kubernetes bug if you need to do this. ([#117696](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117696), [@thockin](https://github.com/thockin)) [SIG...

   * -viper-config can be used to set also the options defined by command line flags
   * the default config file is "e2e.yaml/toml/json/..." and the test starts when no such config is found (as before) but if -viper-config is used, the config file must exist
   * -viper-config can be used to select a file with full path, with or without file suffix
   * the csiImageVersion/Registry flags were renamed to storage.csi.imageVersion/Registry

  - `--service-account-key-file`, set to one or more files containing one or more public keys used to verify tokens.

- Pods will now post their readiness during termination. ([#110417](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/110417), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea)) [SIG Network, Node and Testing]
