// If true the pod's hostname will be configured as the pod's FQDN, rather than the leaf name (the default).
  // In Linux containers, this means setting the FQDN in the hostname field of the kernel (the nodename field of struct utsname).
  // In Windows containers, this means setting the registry value of hostname for the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\Tcpip\\Parameters to FQDN.

    * If you wish to continue using them in v1.8, please enable them explicitly using the `--runtime-config` flag of the apiserver (for example, `--runtime-config="rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1alpha1,settings.k8s.io/v1alpha1"`)

- In the Pod API, setting the alpha `procMount` field to `Unmasked` in a container now required setting `spec.hostUsers=false` as well.

* The Kubelet's deprecated `--allow-privileged` flag now defaults to true. This enables users to stop setting `--allow-privileged` in order to transition to `PodSecurityPolicy`. Previously, users had to continue setting `--allow-privileged`, because the default was false. ([#63442](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/63442), [@mtaufen](https://github.com/mtaufen))

### kubeadm
* Quite a few flags been renamed or removed.  Those options that are removed as flags can still be accessed via the config file.  Most notably this includes external etcd settings and the option for setting the cloud provider on the API server.  The [kubeadm reference documentation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/admin/kubeadm/) is up to date with the new flags.

### Other Deprecations

* Introduce a new flag `--keepalive` for kubectl proxy to allow setting keep-alive period for long-running request. ([#63793](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/63793), [@hzxuzhonghu](https://github.com/hzxuzhonghu))

streaming requests on a different host interface than what the apiserver makes requests on (only the case if not using the built-in dockershim & setting the kubelet flag `--redirect-container-streaming=true`), then these requests will be broken. In that case, the feature can be temporarily disabled until the node configuration is corrected. We suggest setting `--redirect-container-streaming=false` on the kubelet to avoid issues.([#72552](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72552), [@tallc...

### Non-recursive Volume Ownership (FSGroup) graduates to Beta

By default, the `fsgroup` setting, if specified, recursively updates permissions for every file in a volume on every mount. This can make mount, and pod startup, very slow if the volume has many files.
