users to request exclusive CPU cores.  This helps performance in a variety of use-cases, including network latency sensitive applications, as well as applications that benefit from CPU cache residency.  Next, [Huge Pages](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/manage-hugepages/scheduling-hugepages/), which allows pods to consume either 2Mi or 1Gi Huge Pages.  This benefits applications that consume large amounts of memory.  Use of Huge Pages is a common tuning recommendation for databases and JVMs.  Finally,...

* Changes secret, configMap, downwardAPI and projected volumes to mount read-only, instead of allowing applications to write data and then reverting it automatically. Until version 1.11, setting the feature gate ReadOnlyAPIDataVolumes=false will preserve the old behavior. ([#58720](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58720), [@joelsmith](https://g...

- Fixed file permission issues that happened during update of `Secret`/`ConfigMap`/`projected volume` when `fsGroup` is used. The problem caused a race condition where application gets intermittent permission denied error when reading files that were just updated, before the correct permissions were applied.

    * If the serialization type is application/vnd.kubernetes.protobuf, and protobuf marshaling is not implemented for the requested API resource type, a '406 Not Acceptable is returned'.
    * If the serialization type is 'application/json':

### SIG AWS

In v1.13 we worked on tighter integrations of Kubernetes API objects with AWS services. These include three out-of-tree alpha feature releases:

1) Alpha for AWS ALB (Application Load Balancer) integration to Kubernetes Ingress resources.
2) Alpha for CSI specification 0.3 integration to AWS EBS (Elastic Block Store)

container is built.
     * Turnkey Deployments (Deployment API (Beta) in the Extensions API group)
automate deployment and rolling updates of applications, specified
declaratively. It handles versioning, multiple simultaneous rollouts,
aggregating status across all pods, maintaining application availability, and
rollback.
  * <strong>Automated cluster management: </strong>
     * Kubernetes clusters can now span zones within a cloud provider. Pods from a

    deletion of the Node object, deletion of the instance in the cloud provider,
    or force deletion of the pod from the api-server).
    This helps prevent "split brain" scenarios in clustered applications by
    ensuring that unreachable pods will not be presumed dead unless some
    "fencing" operation has provided one of the above indications.
  * For all other existing controllers except StatefulSet, this has no effect on
