### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

- Added the `Step` field to the testing framework to allow volume expansion in configurable step sizes for tests. ([#134760](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/134760), [@Rishita-Golla](https://github.com/Rishita-Golla)) [SIG Storage and Testing]

<code>string</code> takes the place of <code>P</code>.
And since <code>string</code> is identical to <code>string</code>,
this unification step succeeds as well.
Unification of the LHS and RHS of the equation is now finished.
Type inference succeeds because there is only one type equation,
no unification step failed, and the map is fully populated.

Unification uses a combination of <i>exact</i> and <i>loose</i>

- Bump metrics-server to v0.3.5 ([#83015](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83015), [@olagacek](https://github.com/olagacek))
- Dashboard: disable the dashboard Deployment on non-Linux nodes. This step is required to support Windows worker nodes. ([#82975](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/82975), [@wawa0210](https://github.com/wawa0210))

Kubeadm: Expose the `kubeadm join` workflow as phases

- The `kubeadm join` command can now be used in phases. Similar to the work that was done for `kubeadm init` in 1.13, in 1.14 the `join` phases can be now executed step-by-step/selectively using the `kubeadm join phase` sub-command. This makes it possible to further customize the workflow of joining nodes to the cluster.

- Azure ARM client: don't segfault on empty response and http error ([#94078](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/94078), [@bpineau](https://github.com/bpineau)) [SIG Cloud Provider]
- Azure armclient backoff step defaults to 1 (no retry). ([#94180](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/94180), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer))

- Fixed bug with leads to Node goes `Not-ready` state when credentials for vCenter stored in a secret and Zones feature is in use. Zone labels setup moved to KCM component, kubelet skips this step during startup in such case. If credentials stored in cloud-provider config file as plaintext current behaviour does not change and no action required. For proper functioning `kube-system:vsphere-legacy-cloud-provider` should be allowed to update node...

* kubeadm: disable the kube-proxy DaemonSet on non-Linux nodes. This step is required to support Windows worker nodes. ([#76327](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/76327), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123))

  * Also, if the value of adminId in the in-tree Storageclass is different from admin, the adminSecretName mentioned in the in-tree Storageclass has to be patched with the base64 value of the adminId parameter value, otherwise this step can be skipped.(#95361, @humblec) [SIG API Machinery, Node, Scheduling, Storage]
