### Structured Logging in Kubelet

Kubelet has adopted structured logging, thanks to community effort in accomplishing this within the release timeline. Structured logging in the project remains an ongoing effort -- for folks interested in participating, [keep an eye / chime in to the mailing list discussion](https://groups.google.com/g/kubernetes-dev/c/y4WIw-ntUR8).

### Storage Capacity Tracking

### SIG-ibmcloud

As a newly created SIG, the SIG-ibmcloud has mainly focused on SIG set up, sharing IBM Clouds ongoing Kubernetes work like scalability tests, Kubernetes upgrade strategy etc. with the SIG members and start working on processes to move cloud provider code to a public GitHub repo.

### SIG-instrumentation

* Kubeadm is currently omitting etcd certificates in a self-hosted deployment; this will be fixed in a point relelase. ([#61322](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/61322))

* Many improvements to the upgrade process and other bug fixes

### SIG Instrumentation

As far as Sig Instrumentation, the major change in Kubernetes 1.11 is the deprecation of Heapster as part of ongoing efforts to move to the new Kubernetes monitoring model. Clusters still using Heapster for autoscaling should be migrated over to metrics-server and the custom metrics API. See the deprecation section for more information.

- NodeSwapEnabled feature flag was renamed to NodeSwap
  
  The flag was only available in the 1.22.0-beta.1 release, and the new flag should be used going forward. ([#103553](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/103553), [@ehashman](https://github.com/ehashman)) [SIG Node]

- `KMSv1` is deprecated and will only receive security updates going forward. Use `KMSv2` instead. In a future release, Set `--feature-gates=KMSv1=true` to use the deprecated KMSv1 feature. ([#119007](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119007), [@aramase](https://github.com/aramase))

- the `ClusterStatus` struct present in the kubeadm-config ConfigMap is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. It is going to be maintained by kubeadm until it gets removed. The same information can be found on `etcd` and `kube-apiserver` pod annotations, `kubeadm.kubernetes.io/etcd.advertise-client-urls` and `kubeadm.kubernetes.io/kube-apiserver.advertise-address.endpoint`...
