- CSI Migration: Fixes issue where all volumes with the same inline volume inner spec name were staged in the same path. Migrated inline volumes are now staged at a unique path per unique volume.

* The kubelet  --docker-disable-shared-pid flag, which runs docker containers with a process namespace that is shared between all containers in a pod, is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release. It is replaced by `v1.Pod.Spec.ShareProcessNamespace`, which configures this behavior. This field is alpha and can be...

    *    That means, now  VCP can handle cases where user changes VM inventory name.
    * - VCP can handle cases where VM migrates to other ESXi cluster or datacenter or vCenter.
    * The only requirement is the shared storage. VCP needs shared storage on all Node VMs.

The external cloud provider was established and reached feature parity with in-tree, and we expect to stabilize it and have it as preferred deployment model by 1.13. We are also getting started on externalizing the vSphere volume functionalities in a CSI plugin to fully reproduce the current in-tree storage functionality.

* On AWS kubelet returns an error when started under conditions that do not allow it to work (AWS has not yet tagged the instance). ([#60125](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/60125), [@vainu-arto](https://github.com/vainu-arto))

- Fix kubelet to properly log when a container is started. Previously, kubelet may log that container is dead and was restarted when it was actually started for the first time. This behavior only happened on pods with initContainers and regular containers. ([#91469](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/91469), [@rata](https://github.com/rata))...
