application/json;as=Table;v=v1alpha1;g=meta.k8s.io. The returned object (if the server supports it) will be of type meta.k8s.io/v1alpha1 with Table, and contain column and row information related to the resource. Each row will contain information about the resource - by default it will be the object metadata, but callers can add the ?includeObject=Object query parameter and receive the full object. In the future kubectl will use this to retrieve the results of `kubectl get`. ([#40848](https://github.com/kuber...

- The `system:kube-controller-manager` ClusterRole lacks permission to `get` the `configmap` extension-apiserver-authentication. kube-controller-manager errors if run with a service account bound to the clusterrole.

for the kubelet in the dropin, a structured configuration file for the kubelet is used, and is expected to be present in `/var/lib/kubelet/config.yaml`. For runtime-detected, instance-specific configuration values, a environment file with dynamically-generated flags at `kubeadm init` or `kubeadm join` run time is used. Finally, if you want to override something specific for the kubelet that can't be done via the kubeadm Configuration file (which is preferred), you might add flags to the `KUBELET_EXTRA_ARGS`...

is deprecated. All other scale operations remain in place, but the ability to scale jobs will be removed in a future release.  ([#60139](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/60139), [@soltysh](https://github.com/soltysh))

* Flags that can be set via the [Kubelet's --config file](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/kubelet-config-file/) are now deprecated in favor of the file. ([#60148](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/60148), [@mtaufen](https://github.com/mtaufen))...

(liveness & readiness) probes using an HTTPGetAction will no longer follow redirects to different hostnames from the original probe request. Instead, these non-local redirects will be treated as a Success (the documented behavior). In this case an event with reason "ProbeWarning" will be generated, indicating that the redirect was ignored. If you were previously relying on the redirect to run health checks against different endpoints, you will need to perform the healthcheck logic outside the Kubelet,...

*   `etcd2` as a backend is deprecated and support will be removed in Kubernetes 1.13 or 1.14.

### **Auth**

   * -viper-config can be used to set also the options defined by command line flags
   * the default config file is "e2e.yaml/toml/json/..." and the test starts when no such config is found (as before) but if -viper-config is used, the config file must exist
   * -viper-config can be used to select a file with full path, with or without file suffix
   * the csiImageVersion/Registry flags were renamed to storage.csi.imageVersion/Registry

- Kube-scheduler: a configuration file specified via `--config` is now loaded with strict deserialization, which fails if the config file contains duplicate or unknown fields. This protects against accidentally...
