debating the need for a debug utility for quite some time already. With the development of [ephemeral containers](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/pods/ephemeral-containers/), it became more obvious how we can support developers with tooling built on top of `kubectl exec`. The addition of the `kubectl debug` [command](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/blob/master/keps/sig-cli/1441-kubectl-debug/README.md) (it is alpha but your feedback is more than welcome), allows developers...

implementation of RFC-3986, have duplicate "/" removed from the URL paths, and passed like that directly to the `kube-apiserver` `--etcd-servers` flag. If you have etcd endpoints that have Unicode characters, it is advisable to encode them in advance with tooling that is fully IDNA compliant. If you don't do that, the Go standard library (used in k8s and etcd) would do it for you when making requests to the endpoints.

  - Make "kubeadm upgrade apply" add the "node-role.kubernetes.io/control-plane" label on existing nodes that only have the "node-role.kubernetes.io/master" label during upgrade.
  - Please adapt your tooling built on top of kubeadm to use the "node-role.kubernetes.io/control-plane" label.

more robust has been a major focus for this cycle for SIG Cluster Lifecycle (see the May 6, 2019 [Community Update](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1QUOsQxfEfHlMq4lPjlK2ewQHsr9peEKymDw5_XwZm8Q/edit?usp=sharing)). Bug fixes across bare metal tooling and production-ready user stories, such as the high availability use cases have been given priority for 1.15.

kubeadm, the cluster lifecycle building block, continues to receive features and stability work required for bootstrapping production...

The cri-tools project, which aims to provide consistent tooling for operators to debug and introspect their nodes in production independent of their chosen container runtime, graduated to GA.

- Added consistent vanity import to files and provided tooling for verifying and updating them. ([#120642](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120642), [@jcchavezs](https://github.com/jcchavezs))
