- Kubelet metrics have been changed to buckets. 
  For example the exec/{podNamespace}/{podID}/{containerName} is now just exec. ([#87913](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/87913), [@cheftako](https://github.com/cheftako)) [SIG Node]

* Added a 'kubeadm config migrate' command to convert old API types to their newer counterparts in the new, supported API types. This is just a client-side tool; it just executes locally without requiring a cluster to be running, operating in much the same way as a Unix pipe that upgrades config files.

acts like a variable.

The <i>static type</i> (or just <i>type</i>) of a variable is the
type given in its declaration, the type provided in the
<code>new</code> call or composite literal, or the type of
an element of a structured variable.

- Fixed file permission issues that happened during update of Secret/ConfigMap/projected volume when fsGroup is used. The problem caused a race condition where application gets intermittent permission denied error when reading files that were just updated, before the correct permissions were applied.

requests and limits on ephemeral local storage resources. In addition, you can now create [Local Persistent Storage](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/121), which enables PersistentVolumes to be created with locally attached disks, and not just network volumes.

On the Persistent Volumes side, this release [Prevents deletion of Persistent Volume Claims that are used by a pod](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/498) and [Persistent Volumes that are bound to a Persistent...

  * GCE installs will now avoid IP masquerade for all RFC-1918 IP blocks, rather than just 10.0.0.0/8. This means that clusters can be created in 192.168.0.0./16 and 172.16.0.0/12 while preserving the container IPs (which would be lost before).

SIG Storage made a lot of progress in the 1.18 release.
In particular, the following storage features are moving to GA in Kubernetes 1.18:
- Raw Block Support: Allow volumes to be surfaced as block devices inside containers instead of just mounted filesystems.
- Volume Cloning: Duplicate a PersistentVolumeClaim and underlying storage volume using the Kubernetes API via CSI.

This release shouldn't affect apps using FastAPI in any way. You don't even have to upgrade to this version yet. It's just a checkpoint. 🤓
