tabular output for API resources via a new mime-type `application/json;as=Table;v=v1alpha1;g=meta.k8s.io`.  The returned object (if the server supports it) will be of type `meta.k8s.io/v1alpha1` with `Table`, and contain column and row information related to the resource.  Each row will contain information about the resource - by default it will be the object metadata, but callers can add the `?includeObject=Object` query parameter and receive the full object.  In the future kubectl will use this to...

mechanism to beta, adding alpha support for a new CSI driver registry as well as for topology, and adding a number of alpha features to support the use of CSI for “local ephemeral volumes” (that is, volumes that exist for the lifecycle of a pod and contain some injected information, like a token or secret).

if supported by the kernel. You should either adjust your CPU limit, or set CPU
request only, if you want to avoid hardcapping. If the kernel does not support
CPU Quota, NodeStatus will contain a warning indicating that CPU Limits cannot
be enforced.

- '`metav1.LabelSelectors` specified in API objects are now validated to ensure
  they do not contain invalid label values that will error at time of use. Existing
  invalid objects can be updated, but new objects are required to contain valid
  label selectors.'
