- The CSI driver-registrar external sidecar container v1.0.0-rc2 is known to take up to 1 minute to start in some cases. We expect this issue to be resolved in a future release of the sidecar container. For verification, please see the release notes of future releases of the external sidecar container. ([#76](https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/driver-registrar/issues/76))

- Fixed problem with named ports not being available when specified in sidecar containers. ([#127976](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127976), [@chengjoey](https://github.com/chengjoey))

- 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.

- Sidecar termination is now serialized and each sidecar container will receive a `SIGTERM` after all main containers and later starting sidecar containers have terminated. ([#120620](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120620), [@tzneal](https://github.com/tzneal))

- Fixed an issue with Kubernetes-style sidecar containers (in other words: init containers 
with an Always restart policy) and Services. Before the fix, named ports 

- The new feature gate "SidecarContainers" is now available. This feature introduces sidecar containers, a new type of init container that starts before other containers but remains running for the full duration of the pod's lifecycle and will not block pod termination.

- kubeadm: remove misleading error message regarding image pulling ([#66658](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/66658), [@dixudx](https://github.com/dixudx))
- kubeadm: Pull sidecar and dnsmasq-nanny images when using kube-dns ([#66499](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/66499), [@rosti](https://github.com/rosti))

* GCE: Fixes loadbalancer creation and deletion issues appearing in 1.10.5. ([#66400](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/66400), [@nicksardo](https://github.com/nicksardo))
* kubeadm: Pull sidecar and dnsmasq-nanny images when using kube-dns ([#66499](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/66499), [@rosti](https://github.com/rosti))

* Reduced the CPU and memory requests for the Metrics Server Nanny sidecar container to free up unused resources.  ([#57252](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/57252), [@kawych](https://github.com/kawych))

- Revised node selection based on container image location. The kube-scheduler now considers whether nodes have the required images available for init containers, and for sidecar containers if the cluster has 'SidecarContainers' enabled.
