<h3 id="Close">Close</h3>

<p>
For a channel <code>ch</code>, the built-in function <code>close(ch)</code>
records that no more values will be sent on the channel.
It is an error if <code>ch</code> is a receive-only channel.
Sending to or closing a closed channel causes a <a href="#Run_time_panics">run-time panic</a>.

  1. For volumes provisioned/deleted via external provisioner/deleter, `storage_operation_duration_seconds` will NOT wait for the external operation to be done before reporting latency metric (effectively close to 0). This will be fixed by using `volume_operation_total_seconds` instead

- Apiserver add a new flag --goaway-chance which is the fraction of requests that will be closed gracefully(GOAWAY) to prevent HTTP/2 clients from getting stuck on a single apiserver. 
  After the connection closed(received GOAWAY), the client's other in-flight requests won't be affected, and the client will reconnect.

* Update debian-iptables and hyperkube-base images to include CVE fixes. ([#67365](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/67365), [@ixdy](https://github.com/ixdy))
* Immediately close the other side of the connection when proxying. ([#67288](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/67288), [@MHBauer](https://github.com/MHBauer))

### Volumes
* StorageClass pre-installed and set as default on Azure, AWS, GCE, OpenStack, and vSphere.
  * This is something to pay close attention to if you’ve been using Kubernetes for a while, because it changes the default behavior of PersistentVolumeClaim objects on these clouds.

* fix azure retry issue when return 2XX with error ([#78298](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/78298), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))
* kubelet: fix fail to close kubelet->API connections on heartbeat failure when bootstrapping or client certificate rotation is disabled ([#78016](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/78016), [@gaorong](https://github.com/gaorong))

- Kubelet don't forcefully close active connections on heartbeat failures, using the http2 health check mechanism to detect broken connections. Users can force the previous behavior of the kubelet by setting the environment variable DISABLE_HTTP2. ([#108107](https://github.com/ku...

- Fixes regression in logging spurious stack traces when proxied connections are closed by the backend ([#82588](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/82588), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))
