- The e2e suite can be instructed not to wait for pods in kube-system to be ready or for all nodes to be ready by passing `--allowed-not-ready-nodes=-1` when invoking the e2e.test program. This allows callers to run subsets of the e2e suite in scenarios other than perfectly healthy clusters. ([#98781](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98781), [@smarterclayton](...

issues/495), and the CRI has been upgraded to v1alpha2, which adds [support for Windows Container Configuration](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/547). Kubernetes v1.10 also ships with the beta release of the [CRI validation test suite](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/292).

The Resource Management Working Group graduated three features to beta in the 1.10 release.  First, [CPU Manager](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/cpu-management-policies/),...

- Total test spec is now available by `ProgressReporter`, it will be reported before test suite got executed. ([#114417](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114417), [@chendave](https://github.com/chendave))

### **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))

* Respect graceful pod termination of up to 10 minutes
* Handle zone stock-outs and failures
* Improve monitoring and error reporting

#### Container Runtime Interface (CRI)

* [alpha] Add a CRI validation test suite and CRI command-line tools. ([#292](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/292), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer))

- Kubeadm: during join when a check is performed that a Node with the same name already exists in the cluster, make sure the NodeReady condition is properly validated ([#89602](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/89602), [@kvaps](https://github.com/kvaps)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

- The `GetAllocatableResources` podresources API endpoint is now GA. ([#118973](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118973), [@ffromani](https://github.com/ffromani))
- The `NetworkPolicyLegacy` test suite (deprecated in `v1.21`) has now officially been removed in favor of the new table driven e2e tests. ([#118915](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118915), [@astoycos](https://github.com/astoycos))

providers today. This involved auditing the cloud provider APIs for anything that should be deprecated as well as adding changes where necessary. In addition, SIG Cloud Provider has begun exploratory work around having a “cloud provider” e2e test suite which can be used to test common cloud provider functionalities with resources such as nodes and load balancers.

We are also continuing our long running effort to extract all the existing cloud providers that live in k8s.io/kubernetes...

- Make sure auto-mounted subpath mount source is already mounted ([#112498](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112498), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx)) [SIG Storage]
