* kubefed init creates a service account for federation controller manager in the federation-system namespace and binds that service account to the federation-system:federation-controller-manager role that has read and list access on secrets in the federation-system namespace.

### **Cluster Federation**
#### Placement Policy
* [alpha] The federation-apiserver now supports a SchedulingPolicy admission controller that enables policy-based control over placement of federated resources. For more information, see [Set up placement policies in Federation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/federation/set-up-placement-policies-federation/).

#### Cluster Selection

management (beyond our initial Federation approach), and preparing
to release Federation for general availability ('GA').

[SIG Multi-cluster]: https://github.com/kubernetes/community/tree/master/sig-federation

### SIG Node

[SIG Node][] is responsible for the components that support the controlled
interactions between pods and host resources, and manage the lifecycle
of pods scheduled on a node.

*   Development of Kubernetes Federation has moved to [github.com/kubernetes/federation](https://github.com/kubernetes/federation). This move out of tree also means that Federation will begin releasing separately from Kubernetes. Impact:
    *   Federation-specific behavior will no longer be included in kubectl
    *   kubefed will no longer be released as part of Kubernetes

  -  The federation plugin (allows for v1 Kubernetes federation) has been removed.

- Changed metadata management for Pods to populate `.metadata.generation` on writes. New pods will have a `metadata.generation` of 1; updates to mutable fields in the Pod `.spec` will result in `metadata.generation` being incremented by 1.
