### SIG AWS

In v1.13 we worked on tighter integrations of Kubernetes API objects with AWS services. These include three out-of-tree alpha feature releases:

1) Alpha for AWS ALB (Application Load Balancer) integration to Kubernetes Ingress resources.

- Tighten validation on the qosClass field of pod status. This field is immutable but it would be populated with the old status by kube-apiserver if it is unset in the new status when updating this field via the status subsource. ([#127744](https://github....

* Allow kube- and cloud-controller-manager to listen on ports up to 65535. ([#65860](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/65860), [@sttts](https://github.com/sttts))
* Allow kube-scheduler to listen on ports up to 65535. ([#65833](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/65833), [@sttts](https://github.com/sttts))

- Add --permit-address-sharing flag to `kube-apiserver` to listen with `SO_REUSEADDR`. While allowing to listen on wildcard IPs like 0.0.0.0 and specific IPs in parallel, it avoids waiting for the kernel to release socket in `TIME_WAIT` state, and hence, considerably reducing `kube-apiserver` restart times under certain conditions. (...

* Performance test framework and basic tests for the IPAM controller, to simulate behavior of the four supported modes under lightly loaded and loaded conditions, where load is defined as the number of operations to perform as against the configured kubernetes. ([#61143](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/61143), [@satyasm](https://github.com/satyasm))

- Added support to the kube-proxy nodePortAddresses / --nodeport-addresses option to
  accept the value "primary", meaning to only listen for NodePort connections
  on the node's primary IPv4 and/or IPv6 address (according to the Node object).
  This is strongly recommended, if you were not previously using
  --nodeport-addresses, to avoid surprising behavior.

cluster-internal resources installed by kubeadm will be overwritten when upgrading from v1.6 to v1.7. ([#47081](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/47081), [@luxas](https://github.com/luxas))

* kubeadm deb/rpm packages: cAdvisor doesn't listen on `0.0.0.0:4194` without authentication/authorization because of the possible information leakage. The cAdvisor API can still be accessed via `https://{node-ip}:10250/stats/`, though. ([kubernetes/release#356](https://github.com/kubernetes/release/pull/356),...

- Kube-apiserver: fix a memory leak when deleting multiple objects with a `deletecollection`. ([#105606](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105606), [@sxllwx](https://github.com/sxllwx))

*   A new scheduling queue helps schedule the highest priority pending pod first. ([#55109](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55109),[ @bsalamat](https://github.com/bsalamat))
*   A Pod can now listen to the same port on multiple IP addresses.  ([#52421](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52421),[ @WIZARD-CXY](https://github.com/WIZARD-CXY))
