* StorageClass pre-installed and set as default on Azure, AWS, GCE, OpenStack, and vSphere
  * Configurable [Dynamic Provisioning](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/persistent-volumes/#dynamic) and [StorageClass](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/persistent-volumes/#storageclasses)
* DaemonSets [can now be updated by a rolling update](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/manage-daemon/update-daemon-set).

## Action Required

* Azure file persistent volumes can use a new `secretNamespace` field to reference a secret in a different namespace than the one containing their bound persistent volume claim. The azure file persistent volume provisioner honors a corresponding `secretNamespace` storage class parameter to determine where to place secrets containing the storage account key....

* [alpha] Make locally attached (non-network attached) storage available as a persistent volume source. For more information, see [Storage Volumes - local](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/volumes/#local).

#### Volume Plugins

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 Volume Claim](https:...

- Fixes an issue where you can't attach more than 15 GCE Persistent Disks to c2, n2, m1, m2 machine types. ([#88602](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88602), [@yuga711](https://github.com/yuga711)) [SIG Storage]

- Raw block volume support is promoted to beta, and enabled by default. This is accessible via the `volumeDevices` container field in pod specs, and the `volumeMode` field in persistent volume and persistent volume claims definitions. ([#71167](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/71167), [@msau42](https://github.com/msau42))

- Makes locally attached (non-network attached) storage available as a persistent volume source.
- Allows users to take advantage of the typically cheaper and improved performance of persistent local storage
