  - DaemonSet, Deployment, and ReplicaSet resources will no longer be served from `extensions/v1beta1`, `apps/v1beta1`, or `apps/v1beta2` in v1.16. Migrate to the `apps/v1` API, available since v1.9. Existing persisted data can be retrieved via the `apps/v1` API.

* In-place node upgrades to this release from versions 1.7.14, 1.8.9, and 1.9.4 are not supported if using subpath volumes with PVCs.  Such pods should be drained from the node first.

- The e2e suite can be instructed not to wait for pods in kube-system to be ready or for all nodes to be ready by passing `--allowed-not-ready-nodes=-1` when invoking the e2e.test program. This allows callers to run subsets of the e2e suite in scenarios other than perfectly healthy clusters.

    *   You can manually set `--cloud-provider=auto-detect`, but be aware that this behavior will be removed completely in a future version.
    *   Best practice for version 1.9 and future versions is to explicitly set a cloud-provider. See [the documentation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/getting-started-guides/scratch/#cloud-providers)
*   The kubeadm `--skip-preflight-checks` flag is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release.

- Kubeadm: fix panic in the command "kubeadm certs check-expiration" when "/etc/kubernetes/pki" exists but cannot be read. ([#124124](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124124), [@carlory](htt...

## Action Required

- etcd2 as a backend is deprecated and support will be removed in Kubernetes 1.13.

	* Support running Ubuntu image on GCE node ([#44744](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/44744), [@yguo0905](https://github.com/yguo0905))

- Fixes accidental enablement of the new alpha `optionalOldSelf` API field in CustomResourceDefinition validation rules, which should only be allowed to be set when the CRDValidationRatcheting feature gate is enabled. Existing CustomResourceDefinition objects which have the field set will retain it on update, but new CustomResourceDefinition objects will not be permitted to set the field while the CRDValidationRatcheting feature gate is disabled.
