- Promote CSIMigrationOpenStack to Beta (off by default since it requires installation of the OpenStack Cinder CSI Driver. The in-tree AWS OpenStack Cinder driver "kubernetes.io/cinder" was deprecated in 1.16 and will be removed in 1.20. Users should enable CSIMigration + CSIMigrationOpenStack features and install the OpenStack Cinder CSI Driver (https://github.com/kubernetes/cloud-provider-openstack) to avoid disruption to existing Pod and PVC objects at that time....

### **OpenStack**

*   OpenStack Cinder support has been improved:
    *   Cinder version detection now works properly. ([#53115](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53115),[ @FengyunPan](https://github.com/FengyunPan))

* fixes a bug around using the Global config ElbSecurityGroup where Kuberentes would modify the passed in Security Group. ([#49805](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/49805), [@nbutton23](https://github.com/nbutton23))
* Updates Cinder AttachDisk operation to be more reliable by delegating Detaches to volume manager. ([#50042](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/50042), [@jingxu97](https://github.com/jingxu97))

* remove iSCSI volume storage cleartext secrets in logs ([#81215](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/81215), [@zouyee](https://github.com/zouyee))
* Fix a bug in server printer that could cause kube-apiserver to panic. ([#79349](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/79349), [@roycaihw](https://github.com/roycaihw))

 - OpenStack Cinder CSI migration is on by default, Clinder CSI driver must be installed on clusters on OpenStack for Cinder volumes to work. ([#98538](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98538), [@dims](https://github.com/dims)) [SIG Storage]

* Make volume usage metrics available for Cinder ([#62668](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/62668), [@zetaab](https://github.com/zetaab))

- Fix filtering of server status.
- Fix resizing PVC of Cinder volume.
- Disable load balancer configuration if it is not defined in cloud config.
- Add support for node shutdown taint.

The external provider includes all of the above with the additional fixes and features:
- Fix bug to prevent allocation of existing floating IP.
- Fix Cinder authentication bug when OS_DOMAIN_NAME not specified.

  when the corresponding csi driver was installed:
  - `awsElasticBlockStore` for `ebs.csi.aws.com`
  - `azureDisk` for `disk.csi.azure.com`
  - `gcePersistentDisk` for `pd.csi.storage.googleapis.com`
  - `cinder` for `cinder.csi.openstack.org`
  - `csi`
  However it was still enforced using a limit in CSINode objects. ([#126924](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126924), [@carlory](https://github.com/carlory))

* PVC may not be synced to controller local cache in time if PV is bound by external PV binder (e.g. kube-scheduler), double check if PVC is not found to prevent reclaiming PV wrongly. ([#67062](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/67062), [@cofyc](https://github.com/cofyc))
