- Enabled in-place resizing of pod-level resources.  
  - Added `Resources` in `PodStatus` to capture resources set in the pod-level cgroup.  

- the following deprecated APIs can no longer be served:
  - All resources under `apps/v1beta1` and `apps/v1beta2` - use `apps/v1` instead
  - `daemonsets`, `deployments`, `replicasets` resources under `extensions/v1beta1` - use `apps/v1` instead
  - `networkpolicies` resources under `extensions/v1beta1` - use `networking.k8s.io/v1` instead

 - Extended Resources are fully-qualified resource names outside the
 `kubernetes.io` domain. Extended Resource quantities must be integers.
 You can specify any resource name of the form `[aaa.]my-domain.bbb/ccc`
 in place of [Opaque Integer Resources](https://v1-6.docs.kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/manage-compute-resources-container/#opaque-integer-resources-alpha-feature).

- Added HPA support to pod-level resource specifications. When the pod-level resource feature was enabled, HPAs configured with `Resource` type metrics calculated the pod resources from `pod.Spec.Resources` field, if specified.

    *   Kubelet now uses an explicit cm.GetDevicePluginResourceCapacity() function that makes it possible to more accurately determine what resources are inactive and return a more accurate view of available resources.
    *   Extends the device plugin checkpoint data to record registered resources so that we can finish resource removing devices even upon kubelet restarts.

* You can now use `kubectl api-resources` to discover resources.
 ([#42873](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/42873),  [@xilabao](https://github.com/xilabao))
* You can now display requests/limits of extended resources in node allocated resources. ([#46079](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/46079), [@xiangpengzhao](https://github.com/xiangpengzhao))

allows the garbage collector to eventually continue garbage collecting other resources if a given resource cannot be listed or watched. Any objects in the unsynced resource type with owner references with `blockOwnerDeletion: true` will not be known to the garbage collector. Use of `blockOwnerDeletion` has always been best-effort and racy on startup and object creation. With this fix, it continues to be best-effort for resources that cannot be synced by the garbage collector controller. ([#125796](ht...

    * Fix detect exceptions plugin to analyze streams based on local resource id.
    * Disable the metadata agent for monitored resource construction in logging.
    * Disable timestamp adjustment in logs to optimize performance.
    * Reduce logging agent buffer chunk limit to 512k to optimize performance.

- The resource version option, when passed to a list call, is now consistently interpreted as the minimum allowed resource version.  Previously when listing resources that had the watch cache disabled clients could retrieve a snapshot at that exact resource version.  If the client requests a resource version newer than the current state, a TimeoutError is returned suggesting the client retry in a few seconds....

- API
  - Ingress resources are now available via `networking.k8s.io/v1beta1`. Ingress resources in `extensions/v1beta1` are deprecated and will no longer be served in v1.18. Existing persisted data is available via the new API group/version  ([#74057](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/74057), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))
