*   HostPorts are not supported.
*   An IPv6 network mask for pod or cluster cidr network must be /66 or longer. For example: 2001:db1::/66, 2001:dead:beef::/76, 2001:cafe::/118 are supported. 2001:db1::/64 is not supported

* In-place node upgrades to this release from versions 1.7.14, 1.8.9, and 1.9.4 are not supported if using subpath volumes with PVCs.  Such pods should be drained from the node first.

### CSI Service Account Token

  To activate this feature, users can set the `ENABLE_CLIENT_GO_WATCH_LIST_ALPHA` environmental variable.
  It is important to note that the server must support streaming for this feature to function properly.
  If streaming is not supported by the server, the reflector will revert to the previous method

# Security Policy

## Supported Versions

Information about supported Kubernetes versions can be found on the
[Kubernetes version and version skew support policy] page on the Kubernetes website.

## Reporting a Vulnerability

Instructions for reporting a vulnerability can be found on the
[Kubernetes Security and Disclosure Information] page.

- Runtime handler and Windows npipe protocol are not supported yet in crictl v1.11.x. Those features will be supported in crictl [v1.12.0](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/cri-tools/releases/tag/v1.12.0), together with Kubernetes v1.12.1.

## Major Themes

### SIG API Machinery

    * Force drain to use delete, even if eviction is supported. This will bypass checking PodDisruptionBudgets, and should be used with caution.
* kubeadm now errors out whenever a not supported component config version is supplied for the kubelet and kube-proxy ([#85639](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/85639), [@rosti](https://github.com/rosti))

## Changelog since v1.8.10

### Action Required

* ACTION REQUIRED: In-place node upgrades to this release from versions 1.7.14, 1.8.9, and 1.9.4 are not supported if using subpath volumes with PVCs.  Such pods should be drained from the node first. ([#61373](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/61373), [@msau42](https://github.com/msau42))

### Other notable changes

- Supported `BackoffLimitPerIndex` in Jobs. ([#118009](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118009), [@mimowo](https://github.com/mimowo))
- The `IPTablesOwnershipCleanup` feature (KEP-3178) is now GA; kubelet no longer

### Beta
- The Kubernetes Volume Snapshot feature has been moved to beta. The VolumeSnapshotDataSource feature gate is on by default in this release. This feature enables you to take a snapshot of a volume (if supported by the CSI driver), and use the snapshot to provision a new volume, pre-populated with data from the snapshot.
