* You can now set `VolumeMount.Propagation` to `Bidirectional` to enable a particular mount for a container to propagate itself to the host or other containers.

* [alpha] Improve Flex volume deployment

  * Flex volume driver deployment is simplified in the following ways:

    * New driver files can now be automatically discovered and initialized without requiring a kubelet or controller-manager restart.

* The Deployment, DaemonSet, and ReplicaSet kinds in the extensions/v1beta1 group version are now deprecated, as are the Deployment, StatefulSet, and ControllerRevision kinds in apps/v1beta1. As they will not be removed until after a GA version becomes available, you may continue to use these kinds in existing code. However,...

* new dhcp-domain parameter to be used for figuring out the hostname of a node ([#61890](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/61890), [@dims](https://github.com/dims))
* Extend the Stackdriver Metadata Agent by adding a new Deployment for ingesting unscheduled pods, and services.   ([#62043](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/62043), [@supriyagarg](https://github.com/supriyagarg))

  Multi vCenter support is deprecated as of v1.21. If you have a Kubernetes cluster spanning across multiple vCenter servers, please consider moving all k8s nodes to a single vCenter Server. vSphere CSI Driver does not support Kubernetes deployment spanning across multiple vCenter servers.
  
  Support for these deprecations will be available till Kubernetes v1.24. ([#98546](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98546), [@divyenpatel](https://github.com/divyenpatel))

* Deployment will stop adding pod-template-hash labels/selector to ReplicaSets and Pods it adopts. Resources created by Deployments are not affected (will still have pod-template-hash labels/selector).  ([#61615](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/61615), [@janetkuo](https://github.com/janetkuo))

* Use debian-base instead of busybox as base image for server images ([#70245](ht...

- When describing deployments, `OldReplicaSets` now always shows all replicasets controlled the deployment, not just those that still have replicas available. ([#113083](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113083), [@llorllale](https://github.com/llorllale)) [SIG CLI]

- Kube-controller-manager: Fixes bug setting headless service labels on endpoints ([#85361](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/85361),...

- Pods which set `hostNetwork: true` and declare ports, get the `hostPort` field set automatically. Previously this would happen in the PodTemplate of a Deployment, DaemonSet or other workload API.  Now `hostPort` will only be set when an actual Pod is being created.  If this presents a problem, setting the feature gate "DefaultHostNetworkHostPortsInPodTemplates" to true will revert this behavior.  Please...

- Fixing a bug that was preventing updates from 1.10 to 1.11

The external cloud provider was established and reached feature parity with in-tree, and we expect to stabilize it and have it as preferred deployment model by 1.13. We are also getting started on externalizing the vSphere volume functionalities in a CSI plugin to fully reproduce the current in-tree storage functionality.
