* The following deprecated flags were removed from `kube-controller-manager`:

  * `replication-controller-lookup-cache-size`
  * `replicaset-lookup-cache-size`
  * `daemonset-lookup-cache-size`

  Don't use these flags. Using deprecated flags causes the server to print a warning. Using a removed flag causes the server to abort the startup.

Also, please note:
- using `application/vnd.kubernetes.protobuf` as the media storage type for 1.6 is default but not required
- the ability to rollback to etcd2 can be preserved by setting the storage media type flag on `kube-apiserver`

  ```
  --storage-media-type application/json
  ```

  to continue to use `application/json` as the storage media type which can be changed to

- CBOR-encoded watch responses now set the Content-Type header to "application/cbor-seq" instead of the nonconformant "application/cbor". ([#128501](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/128501), [@benluddy](https://github.com/benluddy)) [SIG API Machinery, Etcd and Testing]

- client-go discovery clients constructed using `NewDiscoveryClientForConfig` or `NewDiscoveryClientForConfigOrDie` default to rate limits that cause normal discovery request...

### SIG AWS

In v1.13 we worked on tighter integrations of Kubernetes API objects with AWS services. These include three out-of-tree alpha feature releases:

1) Alpha for AWS ALB (Application Load Balancer) integration to Kubernetes Ingress resources.
2) Alpha for CSI specification 0.3 integration to AWS EBS (Elastic Block Store)

volume plugin ( `kubernetes.io/cephfs`) was removed in this release and the `cephfs` volume type became non-functional. Alternative is to use CephFS CSI driver (https://github.com/ceph/ceph-csi/) in your Kubernetes Cluster. A re-deployment of your application is required to use the new driver if you were using `kubernetes.io/cephfs` volume plugin before upgrading cluster version to 1.31+.
