* kubeadm: kubelets in kubeadm clusters now disable the readonly port (10255). If you're relying on unauthenticated access to the readonly port, please switch to using the secure port (10250)....

    * setting `KUBE_PROXY_DAEMONSET=true` in kube-up will now set a `node.kubernetes.io/kube-proxy-ds-ready=true` label on new nodes. In v1.16, the kube-proxy daemonset add-on will switch to using that label as a node selector.

* Fixes issue where an apiserver on 1.9 and controller-manager on 1.10 can cause volume provisioning and binding to fail. ([#71286](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/71286), [@msau42](https://github.com/msau42))

### Azure

SIG Azure worked on improvements in the cloud provider, including significant work on the Azure Load Balancer implementation.

### Cluster Lifecycle

## Before Upgrading

Consider the following changes, limitations, and guidelines before you upgrade:

* The kubelet now fails if swap is enabled on a node. To override the default and run with /proc/swaps on, set `--fail-swap-on=false`. The experimental flag `--experimental-fail-swap-on` is deprecated in this release, and will be removed in a future release.

- Fixes the `should receive events on concurrent watches in same order` conformance test to work properly on clusters that auto-create additional configmaps in namespaces ([#101950](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/101950), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG API Machinery and Testing]

### Bug or Regression

### SIG CLI

* Retry 'connection refused' errors when setting up clusters on GCE. ([#57394](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/57394), [@mborsz](https://github.com/mborsz))
* Retry 'connection refused' errors when setting up clusters on GCE. ([#57394](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/57394), [@mborsz](https://github.com/mborsz))

    * a PersistentVolumeClaim without a StorageClass annotation now results in
    * automatic provisioning of storage (GCE PersistentDisk on Google Cloud, AWS
    * EBS on AWS, and Cinder on OpenStack). In previous versions of Kubernetes
    * a PersistentVolumeClaim without a StorageClass annotation on these cloud
    * platforms would be satisfied by manually-created PersistentVolume objects.

- Fixed a bug that prevents kubectl to validate CRDs with schema using x-kubernetes-preserve-unknown-fields on object fields.
  Fix kubectl SchemaError on CRDs with schema using x-kubernetes-preserve-unknown-fields on array types. ([#96563](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96563), [@gautierdelorme](https://github.com/gautierdelorme)) [SIG API Machinery and Testing]
