- Kubeadm: when adding new control plane nodes with "kubeamd join", ensure that the etcd member addition is performed only if a given member URL does not already exist in the list of members. Similarly, on "kubeadm reset" only remove an etcd member if its ID exists. ([#127621](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127621), [@SataQiu](https:...

Windows](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/60275).) [Local Ephemeral Storage Capacity Isolation](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/361) makes it possible to set requests and limits on ephemeral local storage resources. In addition, you can now create [Local Persistent Storage](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/121), which enables PersistentVolumes to be created with locally attached disks, and not just network volumes.

On the Persistent Volumes...

ers/), it became more obvious how we can support developers with tooling built on top of `kubectl exec`. The addition of the `kubectl debug` [command](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/blob/master/keps/sig-cli/1441-kubectl-debug/README.md) (it is alpha but your feedback is more than welcome), allows developers to easily debug their Pods inside the cluster. We think this addition is invaluable.  This command allows one to create a temporary container which runs next to the Pod one is trying...

 - Log messages in JSON format are written to stderr by default now (same as text format) instead of stdout. Users who expected JSON output on stdout must now capture stderr instead or in addition to stdout.

SIG Cloud Provider has been focused on stabilizing the common APIs and interfaces consumed by cloud providers today. This involved auditing the cloud provider APIs for anything that should be deprecated as well as adding changes where necessary. In addition, SIG Cloud Provider has begun exploratory work around having a “cloud provider” e2e test suite which can be used to test common cloud provider functionalities with resources such as nodes and load balancers.

We are also continuing our...
