- Ensure health probes are created for local traffic policy UDP services on Azure ([#84802](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/84802), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer))

## Changelog since v1.18.18

## Changes by Kind

### API Change

- We have added a new Priority & Fairness rule that exempts all probes (/readyz, /healthz, /livez) to prevent 
  restarting of "healthy" kube-apiserver instance(s) by kubelet. ([#101114](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/101114), [@tkashem](https://github.com/tkashem)) [SIG API Machinery]

- Fixed a bug that unintentionally overrides custom Accept headers in http (live-/readiness)-probes if the header is in lowercase. ([#114606](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114606), [@tuunit](https://github.com/tuunit))

* falls back to parse Docker runtime version as generic if not semver ([#54040](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54040), [@dixudx](https://github.com/dixudx))
* BUG FIX: Check both name and ports for azure health probes ([#56918](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/56918), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer))



# v1.8.5

[Documentation](https://docs.k8s.io) & [Examples](https://releases.k8s.io/release-1.8/examples)

- Fixed an issue where kubelet does not set case-insensitive headers for http probes. (#117182, @dddddai) ([#117324](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117324), [@dddddai](https://github.com/dddddai)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps and Node]

- We have added a new Priority & Fairness rule that exempts all probes (/readyz, /healthz, /livez) to prevent 
  restarting of "healthy" kube-apiserver instance(s) by kubelet. ([#101111](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/101111), [@tkashem](https://github.com/tkashem)) [SIG API Machinery]

* Added prometheus cluster monitoring addon to kube-up. ([#62195](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/62195), [@serathius](https://github.com/serathius))
* Kubelet now exposes a new endpoint, `/metrics/probes`, which exposes a Prometheus metric containing the liveness and/or readiness probe results for a container. ([#61369](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/61369), [@rramkumar1](https://github.com/rramkumar1))

  * Liveness and readiness probes now support more configuration parameters:
periodSeconds, successThreshold, failureThreshold
  * The new ReplicaSet API (Beta) in the Extensions API group is similar to

* fix azure load balancer update dns label issue ([#85329](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/85329), [@nilo19](https://github.com/nilo19))
* Ensure health probes are created for local traffic policy UDP services on Azure ([#85328](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/85328), [@nilo19](https://github.com/nilo19))



# v1.14.9

[Documentation](https://docs.k8s.io)

- `kubelet` allows pods to use the `net.ipv4.tcp_fin_timeout`, “net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_intvl”
  and “net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_probes“ sysctl by default; Pod Security Admission
  allows this sysctl in `v1.29+` versions of the baseline and restricted policies. ([#121240](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121240), [@HirazawaUi](https://github.com/HirazawaUi))
