* Conformance tests may now include disruptive tests. If you are running tests against a live cluster, consider skipping those tests tagged as `Disruptive` to avoid non-test workloads being impacted. Be aware, skipping any conformance tests (even disruptive ones) will make the results ineligible for consideration for the CNCF Certified Kubernetes program. ([#82664](https://g...

* Conformance tests are added for the DaemonSet kinds in the apps/v1 group version. Deprecated versions of DaemonSet will not be tested for conformance, and conformance is only applicable to release 1.10 and later.

### SIG Scalability

SIG Scalability has mostly focused on stability and deflaking our tests, investing into framework for writing scalability tests (ClusterLoader v2) with a goal to migrate all tests to it by the end of 2018 and on the work towards extending definition of Kubernetes scalability by providing more/better user-friendly SLIs/SLOs.
