* Break the 'certificatesigningrequests' controller into a 'csrapprover' controller and 'csrsigner' controller. ([#45514](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/45514), [@mikedanese](https://github.com/mikedanese))

  * You can find the PodSpec tolerations that were created as annotations (if any) in a controller definition by doing `kubectl get <controller kind> <controller name> -o yaml` and looking for the "Annotation" section with the annotation key `scheduler.alpha.kubernetes.io/tolerations` (This will work whether you are running Kubernetes 1.5 or 1.6).

- The `PersistentVolumeLabel` admission controller in the API server is deprecated.

  - The replacement is running a cloud-specific controller-manager (often referred to as `cloud-controller-manager`) with the `PersistentVolumeLabel` controller enabled. This new controller loop operates as the `PersistentVolumeLabel` admission controller did in previous versions.

- StatefulSet controllers no longer force a resync every 30 seconds when nothing has changed. ([#75622](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/75622), [@jonsabo](https://github.com/jonsabo))

### **Apps**

*   The `kubernetes.io/created-by` annotation is no longer added to controller-created objects. Use the `metadata.ownerReferences` item with controller set to `true` to determine which controller, if any, owns an object.

- Defining minimum required documentation from each cloud provider which includes (in collaboration with SIG Docs):
  - 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.

- `kube-controller-manager` and `cloud-controller-manager` have changed the
  name of controllers that can be turned on/off that are passed to the `--controllers`
  flag (e.g., `pod-garbage-collector-controller`). The old names (eg `podgc`) are
