    *   Support for IPv6 Kubernetes control and data planes.
    *   Support for Kubernetes IPv6 cluster deployments using kubeadm.

### Windows

This release continues to enable more existing features on Windows, including container CPU resources, image filesystem stats, and flexvolumes. It also adds Windows service control manager support and experimental support for Hyper-V isolation of single-container pods.

    * Adds support for 1.5.x series of Kubernetes
    * Introduces a tactic for keeping templates in sync with upstream eliminating template drift
    * Adds CNI support to the Juju Charms
    * Adds durable storage support to the Juju Charms
    * Introduces an e2e Charm layer for repeatable testing efforts and validation of clusters

    * Fix container memory rss
    * Add hugepages monitoring support
    * Fix incorrect CPU usage metrics with 4.7 kernel
    * Add tmpfs monitoring support
* Support for Huge pages in empty_dir volume plugin ([#50072](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/50072), [@squall0gd](https://github.com/squall0gd))

* sysctl support is now considered beta ([ref](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/34))
* Support for Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets is now considered beta. ([ref](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/513))
* Azure support for Cluster Autoscaler is now considered beta. ([ref](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/514))

- StatefulSet is supported in `kubectl autoscale` command ([#71103](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/71103), [@Pingan2017](https://github.com/Pingan2017))

  Once core Kubernetes support for user namespaces is generally available and kubeadm has started to support running the control plane in userns pods, the kubeadm `RootlessControlPlane` feature gate will be removed entirely.

- Added `UserNamespacesPodSecurityStandards` feature gate to enable user namespace support for Pod Security Standards.
  Enabling this feature will modify all Pod Security Standard rules to allow setting: `spec[.*].securityContext.[runAsNonRoot,runAsUser]`.
  This feature gate should only be enabled if all nodes in the cluster support the user namespace feature and have it enabled.

  // This feature depends on whether the underlying cloud-provider supports specifying
  // the loadBalancerIP when a load balancer is created.
  // This field will be ignored if the cloud-provider does not support the feature.
  // Deprecated: This field was under-specified and its meaning varies across implementations,
  // and it cannot support dual-stack.
