- [KCCM - service controller]: enable connection draining for terminating pods upon node downscale by the cluster autoscaler. This is done by not reacting to the taint used by the cluster autoscaler to indicate that the node is going away soon, thus keeping the node referenced by the load balancer until the VM has been completely...

- Kubeadm: fix a bug where the --rootfs global flag does not work with "kubeadm upgrade node" for control plane nodes. ([#123097](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123097), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

## Dependencies

### Added
_Nothing has changed._

### Changed

* Update Cluster Autoscaler to 1.12.5 ([#77063](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/77063), [@losipiuk](https://github.com/losipiuk))
    *  - https://github.com/kubernetes/autoscaler/releases/tag/cluster-autoscaler-1.12.5 
    *  - https://github.com/kubernetes/autoscaler/releases/tag/cluster-autoscaler-1.12.4



# v1.12.8

- Kubeadm: during "join", don't re-add an etcd member if it already exists in the cluster. ([#92118](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/92118), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]
- hyperkube: Use debian-hyperkube-base@v1.1.1 image
  

- One new field "InternalTrafficPolicy" in Service is added.
  It specifies if the cluster internal traffic should be routed to all endpoints or node-local endpoints only.
  "Cluster" routes internal traffic to a Service to all endpoints.
  "Local" routes traffic to node-local endpoints only, and traffic is dropped if no node-local endpoints are ready.

### Cluster Lifecycle

[https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/49213](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/49213) sig-cluster-lifecycle has decided to phase out the cluster/ directory over the next couple of releases in favor of deployment automations maintained outside of the core repo and outside of kubernetes orgs. ([@kubernetes/sig-cluster-lifecycle-misc](https://github.com/orgs/kubernetes/teams/sig-cluster-lifecycle-misc))

    * Remove deprecated ContainerVM support from GCE kube-up.  ([#58247...

### SIG Network

For 1.13, the areas of focus were in IPv6, DNS improvements and some smaller items:
CoreDNS is now the default cluster DNS passing all of the scale/resource usage tests
