#### Cluster federation
* Features:

  * Adds annotations to all Federation objects created by kubefed. ([#42683](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/42683), [@perotinus](https://github.com/perotinus))

* kubefed init creates a service account for federation controller manager in the federation-system namespace and binds that service account to the federation-system:federation-controller-manager role that has read and list access on secrets in the federation-system namespace.  ([#40392](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/40392), [@madhusudancs](https://github.com/madhusudancs))

        Tuple3<String, String, String> task = thumbnailGenerator.createTask(path, docMap);

to release Federation for general availability ('GA').

### SIG Node

[SIG Node][] is responsible for the components that support the controlled
interactions between pods and host resources, and manage the lifecycle
of pods scheduled on a node.

*   Development of Kubernetes Federation has moved to [github.com/kubernetes/federation](https://github.com/kubernetes/federation). This move out of tree also means that Federation will begin releasing separately from Kubernetes. Impact:
    *   Federation-specific behavior will no longer be included in kubectl
    *   kubefed will no longer be released as part of Kubernetes
