given element may be less than the index of the same element in the
underlying array.

<p>
A slice, once initialized, is always associated with an underlying
array that holds its elements.  A slice therefore shares storage
with its array and with other slices of the same array; by contrast,
distinct arrays always represent distinct storage.

The array underlying a slice may extend past the end of the slice.

  - The deprecated `--etcd-quorum-read` flag has been removed. Quorum reads are now always enabled when fetching data from etcd. Remove the `--etcd-quorum-read` flag from kube-apiserver invocations before upgrading.

- EndpointSliceNodeName will always be enabled, so NodeName will always be available in the v1beta1 API. ([#99746](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99746), [@swetharepakula](https://github.com/swetharepakula)) [SIG Apps and Network]

  
  Users who maintain controllers which relied on the fact that pods with RestartPolicy=Always
  never enter the Succeeded phase may need to adapt their controllers. This is because as a consequence of 
  the change pods which use RestartPolicy=Always may end up in the Succeeded phase in two scenarios: pod

## What's New (Major Themes)

### Dockershim deprecation

Docker as an underlying runtime is being deprecated. Docker-produced images will continue to work in your cluster with all runtimes, as they always have.
The Kubernetes community [has written a blog post about this in detail](https://blog.k8s.io/2020/12/02/dont-panic-kubernetes-and-docker/) with [a dedicated FAQ page for it](https://blog.k8s.io/2020/12/02/dockershim-faq/).

* change azure disk host cache to ReadOnly by default ([#72229](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72229), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))
* Fixes a bug in HPA controller so HPAs are always updated every resyncPeriod (15 seconds). ([#72373](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72373), [@krzysztof-jastrzebski](https://github.com/krzysztof-jastrzebski))
