[https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/49213](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/49213) sig-cluster-lifecycle has decided to phase out the cluster/ directory over the next couple of releases in favor of deployment automations maintained outside of the core repo and outside of kubernetes orgs. ([@kubernetes/sig-cluster-lifecycle-misc](https://github.com/orgs/kubernetes/teams/sig-cluster-lifecycle-misc))

    * Remove deprecated ContainerVM support from GCE kube-up....

In addition, users can now create multiple versions of CustomResourceDefinitions, but without any kind of automatic conversion, and CustomResourceDefinitions now allow specification of additional columns for `kubectl get` output via the `spec.additionalPrinterColumns` field.

enabled, when finding a suitable persistent volume for a claim, the kube-controller-manager will be aware of the `volumeAttributesClassName` field of PVC and PV objects. The `volumeAttributesClassName` field is a reference to a VolumeAttributesClass object, which contains a set of key-value pairs that present mutable attributes of the volume. It's forbidden to change the `volumeAttributesClassName` field of a PVC object until the PVC is bound to a PV object. During the binding process, if a PVC has a `v...

* The DenyEscalatingExec and DenyExecOnPrivileged admission plugins are deprecated and will be removed in v1.18. Use of `PodSecurityPolicy` or a custom admission plugin to limit creation of pods is recommended instead.

provides access to a numbered sequence of elements from that array.
A slice type denotes the set of all slices of arrays of its element type.
The number of elements is called the length of the slice and is never negative.
The value of an uninitialized slice is <code>nil</code>.

* Fixes an issue where the resourceVersion of an object in a DELETE watch event was not the resourceVersion of the delete itself, but of the last update to the object. This could disrupt the ability of clients clients to re-establish watches properly. ([#58547](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58547), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

  * Marking a StorageClass as default makes it so that even a PersistentVolumeClaim without a StorageClass specified will trigger dynamic provisioning (instead of binding to an existing pool of PVs).

* API request throttling (due to a high rate of requests) is now reported in the kubelet (and other component) logs by default.  The messages are of the form ([#80649](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/80649), [@RobertKrawitz](https://github.com/RobertKrawitz))
