kubeadm has been updated to drop an unnecessary redirection from ci/latest.txt to ci-cross/latest.txt. Users should know exactly where the builds are stored on Google Cloud storage buckets from now on. For example for 1.9 and 1.10, users can specify ci/latest-1.9 and ci/latest-1.10 as the CI build jobs what build images correctly updates those. The CI jobs for master update the ci-cross/latest location, so if you are looking for latest master builds, then the correct parameter to use would be ci-cross/latest....

* Scheduling conformance tests related to daemonsets should set the annotation that relaxes node selection restrictions, if any are set. This ensures conformance tests can run on a wider array of clusters. ([#68793](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/68793), [@aveshagarwal](https://github.com/aveshagarwal))

* Conformance tests may now include disruptive tests. If you are running tests against a live cluster, consider skipping those tests tagged as `Disruptive` to avoid non-test workloads being impacted. Be aware, skipping any conformance tests (even disruptive ones) will make the results ineligible for consideration for the CNCF Certified Kubernetes program. ([#82664](https://g...

* Fix VMSS LoadBalancer backend pools so that the network won't be broken when instances are upgraded to latest model ([#81411](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/81411), [@nilo19](https://github.com/nilo19))

* - kubeadm now supports "ci/latest-1.8" or "ci-cross/latest-1.8" and similar labels. ([#49119](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/49119), [@kad](https://github.com/kad))

### SIG Scalability

SIG Scalability has mostly focused on stability and deflaking our tests, investing into framework for writing scalability tests (ClusterLoader v2) with a goal to migrate all tests to it by the end of 2018 and on the work towards extending definition of Kubernetes scalability by providing more/better user-friendly SLIs/SLOs.
