- Extended resources requested by initContainers which are allocated using an automatic ResourceClaim now match the behavior of legacy device plugins, reusing the same resources requested by later sidecar initContainers or regular containers when possible, to minimize the total number of devices requested by the pod. ([#134882](https://github.com/kubernetes/kube...

  
    A previous release built hyperkube using the debian-hyperkube-base@v1.0.0,
    which was updated to address a CVE in the CNI plugins.
    
    A side-effect of using this new image was that the networking packages
    (namely `iptables`) drifted from the versions used in the kube-proxy images.
  
    The following issues were filed on kube-proxy failures when using hyperkube:

  - Clone `kubernetes/kubernetes` in `update-vendor.sh` shallowly, instead of fetching all revisions
  - Speed up binpacking by reducing the number of PreFilter calls (call once per pod instead of #pods*#nodes times)
  - Speed up finding unneeded nodes by 5x+ in very large clusters by reducing the number of PreFilter calls
  - Expose `--max-nodes-total` as a metric

#### CustomResourceDefinition Defaulting

CustomResourceDefinitions also have new support for defaulting, with defaults specified using the `default` keyword in the OpenAPI validation schema. Defaults are set for unspecified fields in an object sent to the API, and when reading from etcd.

Defaulting will be available as alpha in Kubernetes 1.15 and requires structural schemas.

- kube-scheduler dropped support for configuration files with apiVersion `componentconfig/v1alpha1`. Ensure kube-scheduler is configured using command-line flags or a configuration file with apiVersion `kubescheduler.config.k8s.io/v1alpha1`...

### Bug or Regression

    * setting `KUBE_PROXY_DAEMONSET=true` in kube-up will now set a `node.kubernetes.io/kube-proxy-ds-ready=true` label on new nodes. In v1.16, the kube-proxy daemonset add-on will switch to using that label as a node selector.
    * In 1.16, the masq-agent daemonset add-on will switch to using `node.kubernetes.io/masq-agent-ds-ready` as a node selector.

- Kubelet TCP and HTTP probes are now more effective using networking resources:
  conntrack entries, sockets. This is achieved by reducing the `TIME-WAIT` state
  of the connection to 1 second, instead of the defaults 60 seconds. This allows
