- the following deprecated APIs can no longer be served:
  - All resources under `apps/v1beta1` and `apps/v1beta2` - use `apps/v1` instead
  - `daemonsets`, `deployments`, `replicasets` resources under `extensions/v1beta1` - use `apps/v1` instead
  - `networkpolicies` resources under `extensions/v1beta1` - use `networking.k8s.io/v1` instead

- The resource version option, when passed to a list call, is now consistently interpreted as the minimum allowed resource version.  Previously when listing resources that had the watch cache disabled clients could retrieve a snapshot at that exact resource version.  If the client requests a resource version newer than the current state, a TimeoutError is returned suggesting the client retry in a few seconds....

allows the garbage collector to eventually continue garbage collecting other resources if a given resource cannot be listed or watched. Any objects in the unsynced resource type with owner references with `blockOwnerDeletion: true` will not be known to the garbage collector. Use of `blockOwnerDeletion` has always been best-effort and racy on startup and object creation. With this fix, it continues to be best-effort for resources that cannot be synced by the garbage collector controller. ([#125796](ht...

- Added HPA support to pod-level resource specifications. When the pod-level resource feature was enabled, HPAs configured with `Resource` type metrics calculated the pod resources from `pod.Spec.Resources` field, if specified. ([#132430](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/132430), [@laoj2](https://github.com/laoj2)) [SIG Apps, Autoscaling and Testing]

 - Extended Resources are fully-qualified resource names outside the
 `kubernetes.io` domain. Extended Resource quantities must be integers.
 You can specify any resource name of the form `[aaa.]my-domain.bbb/ccc`
 in place of [Opaque Integer Resources](https://v1-6.docs.kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/manage-compute-resources-container/#opaque-integer-resources-alpha-feature).

- `PodSpec.Container.Resources` became mutable for CPU and memory resource types.
  - `PodSpec.Container.ResizePolicy` (new object) gives users control over how their containers are resized.
  - `PodStatus.Resize` status describes the state of a requested Pod resize.
  - `PodStatus.ResourcesAllocated` describes node resources allocated to Pod.
  - `PodStatus.Resources` describes node resources applied to running containers by CRI.

### kubectl (CLI)
* `kubectl create role` and  `kubectl create clusterrole`  invocations must be updated to specify multiple resource names as repeated  `--resource-name` arguments instead of comma-separated arguments to a single `--resource-name` argument. E.g. `--resource-name=x,y` must become `--resource-name x --resource-name y` ([#44950](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/44950), [@xilabao](https://github.com/xilabao))

* Support for "alpha.kubernetes.io/nvidia-gpu" resource which was deprecated in 1.10 is removed. Please use the resource exposed by DevicePlugins instead ("nvidia.com/gpu"). ([#61498](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/61498), [@mindprince](https://github.com/mindprince))

* Allow drain --force to remove pods whose managing resource is deleted. ([#41864](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/41864), [@marun](https://github.com/marun))

    *   Kubelet now uses an explicit cm.GetDevicePluginResourceCapacity() function that makes it possible to more accurately determine what resources are inactive and return a more accurate view of available resources.
    *   Extends the device plugin checkpoint data to record registered resources so that we can finish resource removing devices even upon kubelet restarts.
