## Known Issues

 - Kubeadm: remove the automatic detection and matching of cgroup drivers for Docker. For new clusters if you have not configured the cgroup driver explicitly you might get a failure in the `kubelet` on driver mismatch (kubeadm clusters should be using the `systemd` driver). Also remove the `IsDockerSystemdCheck` preflight check (warning) that checks if the Docker cgroup driver is set to `systemd`. Ideally such detection / coordination should be on the side of CRI implementers...

### Security Improvements for CSI Drivers (Alpha)

* ACTION REQUIRED: Removes defaulting of CSI file system type to ext4. All the production drivers listed under https://kubernetes-csi.github.io/docs/drivers.html were inspected and should not be impacted after this change. If you are using a driver not in that list, please test the drivers on an updated test cluster first. ([#65499](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/65499), [@krunaljain](https://github.com/krunaljain))

- This release added support for `NodeExpandSecret` for CSI driver client which enables the CSI drivers to make use of this secret while performing node expansion operation based on the user request. Previously there was no secret  provided as part of the `nodeexpansion` call, thus CSI drivers did not make use of the same while expanding the volume at the node side. ([#105963](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105963),...

  as it requires installation of AzureFile CSI Driver. Users should enable CSIMigration and
  CSIMigrationAzureFile features and install the [AzureFile CSI Driver](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/azurefile-csi-driver)
  to avoid disruption to existing Pod and PVC objects at that time. Azure File CSI driver does not support using same persistent

  request optionally sent by the CSI Client from this release onwards. ([#121303](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121303), [@humblec](https://github.com/humblec))

### Deprecation of FlexVolume

FlexVolume is deprecated. Out-of-tree CSI driver is the recommended way to write volume drivers in Kubernetes.
See [this doc](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/sig-storage/volume-plugin-faq.md#kubernetes-volume-plugin-faq-for-storage-vendors) for more information.
Maintainers of FlexVolume drivers should implement a CSI driver and move users of FlexVolume to CSI.

* Bug fixes

  * Fixes issue with Flexvolume, introduced in 1.6.0, where drivers without an attacher would fail (node indefinitely waiting for attach). A driver API addition is introduced: drivers that don't implement attach should return attach: false on init.
