forwarded to kubelet static pods to control pull policy for etcd and control plane images. This option allows for precise image pull policy specification for master nodes and thus for more tight control over images. It is useful in CI environments and in environments, where the user has total control over master VM templates (thus, the master VM templates can be preloaded with the required Docker images for the control plane services).

- E2e framework: the `node-role.kubernetes.io/master` taint has been removed from the default value of `--non-blocking-taints` flag. You may need to set `--non-blocking-taints` explicitly if the cluster to be tested has nodes with the deprecated `node-role.kubernetes.io/master` taint.

- Pod status updates faster when reacting on probe results. The first readiness probe will be called faster when startup probes succeeded, which will make Pod status as ready faster. ([#98376](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98376), [@matthyx](https://github.com/matthyx))

volume plugin to specify the maximum number of a given volume type per node as a function of the node characteristics (for example, a larger limit for larger nodes, a smaller limit for smaller nodes).

SIG Storage also worked on a number of [Container Storage Interface (CSI) features](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/178) this quarter in anticipation of moving support for CSI from beta to GA in the next Kubernetes release. This includes graduating the dependent “mount...

a critical security issue in the Kubernetes API Server, is resolved in v1.13.0 (and in [v1.10.11](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/CHANGELOG/CHANGELOG-1.10.md/#v11011), [v1.11.5](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/CHANGELOG/CHANGELOG-1.11.md/#v1115), and [v1.12.3](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/CHANGELOG/CHANGELOG-1.12.md/#v1123)). We recommend all clusters running previous versions update to one of these releases immediately. See issue...

- kubeadm: all master components are now exclusively relying on the `PriorityClassName` pod spec for annotating them as cluster critical components. Since `scheduler.alpha.kubernetes.io/critical-pod` annotation is no longer supported by Kubernetes 1.14 this annotation is no longer added to master components.

the variable <code>a</code> will be initialized after <code>b</code> but
whether <code>x</code> is initialized before <code>b</code>, between
