SIG-OpenStack continued to build out testing, with eleven acceptance tests covering a wide-range of scenarios and use-cases. During the 1.11 cycle our reporting back to test-grid has qualified the OpenStack cloud provider as a gating job for the Kubernetes release.

New features include improved integration between the Keystone service and Kubernetes RBAC, and a number of stability and compatibility improvements across the entire provider code-base.

### SIG Scheduling

port of kube-controller-manager and cloud-controller-manager has been deprecated, and will be removed in a future release. Use `--secure-port` and `--bind-address` instead. ([#59582](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/59582), [@sttts](https://github.com/sttts))

* The ability to use the insecure flags `--insecure-bind-address`, `--insecure-port` in the apiserver has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Use `--secure-port` and `--bind-address` instead. ([#...

  For metrics `etcd_request_duration_seconds`, `etcd_requests_total` and `etcd_request_errors_total` replace `type` label with API `resource` and `group` label.
  For metric `apiserver_selfrequest_total` add a API `group` label.
  For metrics `apiserver_watch_events_sizes` and `apiserver_watch_events_total` replace API `kind` label with `resource` label.

- Rename metrics `etcd_object_counts` to `apiserver_storage_object_counts` and mark it as stable. The original `etcd_object_counts` metrics name is marked as "Deprecated" and will be removed in the future.
