* Implementers of the cloud provider interface will note the addition of a context to this interface. Trivial code modification will be necessary for a cloud provider to continue to compile. ([#59287](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/59287), [@cheftako](https://github.com/cheftako))

For the 1.9 release, SIG Storage made Kubernetes more pluggable and modular by introducing an alpha implementation of the Container Storage Interface (CSI). CSI will make installing new volume plugins as easy as deploying a pod, and enable third-party storage providers to develop their plugins without the need to add code to the core Kubernetes codebase.

* Move scheduler cache interface and implementation to pkg/scheduler/internal/cache. ([#68968](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/68968), [@wgliang](https://github.com/wgliang))
* Update to use go1.11.1 ([#69386](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/69386), [@cblecker](https://github.com/cblecker))

* To allow the userspace proxy to work correctly on multi-interface hosts when using the non-default-route interface, you may now set the `bindAddress` configuration option to an IP address assigned to a network interface.  The proxy will use that IP address for any required NAT operations instead of the IP address of the interface which has the default route. ([#48613](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/48613), [@dcbw](https://github.com/dcbw))...

* Consolidate ScoreWithNormalizePlugin into the ScorePlugin interface ([#83042](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83042), [@draveness](https://github.com/draveness))

* Implemented preemption for extender with a verb and new interface ([#58717](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58717), [@resouer](https://github.com/resouer))

  earlier than that, possibly only with specific network plugins). If you were previously
  using ethtool to disable checksum offload on your primary network interface, you should
  now be able to stop doing that. ([#92035](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/92035), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship)) [SIG Network and Node]

the maximum number of a given volume type per node as a function of the node characteristics (for example, a larger limit for larger nodes, a smaller limit for smaller nodes).

SIG Storage also worked on a number of [Container Storage Interface (CSI) features](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/178) this quarter in anticipation of moving support for CSI from beta to GA in the next Kubernetes release. This includes graduating the dependent “mount namespace propagation” feature...
