that they span multiple clusters. Creating a Federated HPA targeting
multiple clusters ensures that cluster-level autoscalers are
consistently deployed across those clusters, and dynamically managed
to ensure that autoscaling can occur optimially in all clusters,
within a set of global constraints on the total number of replicas
permitted across all clusters.  If replicas are not

* Use Cluster Autoscaler 0.5.1, which fixes an issue in Cluster Autoscaler 0.5 where the cluster may be scaled up unnecessarily. Also the status of Cluster Autoscaler is now exposed in kube-system/cluster-autoscaler-status config map.

`system:aggregate-to-edit` role no longer includes write access to the Endpoints API. For new Kubernetes 1.22 clusters, the `edit` and `admin` roles will no longer include that access in newly created Kubernetes 1.22 clusters. This will have no affect on existing clusters upgrading to Kubernetes 1.22. To retain write access to Endpoints in the aggregated `edit` and `admin` roles for newly created 1.22 clusters, refer to https://github.com/kubernetes/website/pull/29025.

feature, you might need to take some action immediately after upgrading. In multi-tenant clusters where not all users are trusted, you are advised to create appropriate quotas for two default priority classes, system-cluster-critical and system-node-critical, which are added to clusters by default. `ResourceQuota` should be created to limit users from creating Pods at these priorities if not all users of your cluster are trusted. We do not advise disabling this feature because critical system Pods rely...
