"ephemeral-storage" so that this resource can be allocated, limited, and consumed as the same way as CPU/memory. All the features related to resource management (resource request/limit, quota, limitrange) are available for local ephemeral storage. This local ephemeral storage represents the storage for root file system, which will be consumed by containers' writable layer and logs. Some volumes such as emptyDir might also consume this storage.

### SIG Cloud Provider

- Remove insecure serving configuration from cloud-provider package, which is consumed by cloud-controller-managers. ([#108953](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/108953), [@nckturner](https://github.com/nckturner))

Defaulting will be available as alpha in Kubernetes 1.15 and requires structural schemas.

#### CustomResourceDefinition OpenAPI Publishing

OpenAPI specs for native types have long been served at /openapi/v2, and they are consumed by a number of components, notably kubectl client-side validation, kubectl explain and OpenAPI based client generators.

  - example manifests for the kube-apiserver, kube-controller-manager, kube-schedule, kubelet, and the cloud-controller-manager
  - labels/annotations that are consumed by any cloud specific controllers

In addition to the above, SIG Cloud Provider has been focusing on a long running effort to remove cloud provider code from kubernetes/kubernetes.

* Change ImageGCManage to consume ImageFS stats from StatsProvider ([#53094](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53094), [@yguo0905](https://github.com/yguo0905))

		* Restored the ability of kubectl running inside a pod to consume resource files specifying a different namespace than the one the pod is running in. ([#44862](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/44862), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

*   You can now disable AppArmor by setting the AppArmor profile to unconfined. ([#52395](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52395),[ @dixudx](https://github.com/dixudx))
