- kubeadm: JoinConfiguration now houses the discovery options in a nested Discovery structure, which in turn has a couple of other nested structures to house more specific options (BootstrapTokenDiscovery and FileDiscovery) ([#67763](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/67763), [@rosti](https://github.com/rosti))

* kubeadm now has a join timeout that can be controlled via the `discoveryTimeout` config option. This option is set to 5 minutes by default. ([#60983](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/60983), [@rosti](https://github.com/rosti))

*   You can now add "options" to the host's /etc/resolv.conf (or --resolv-conf), and they will be copied into pod's resolv.conf when dnsPolicy is Default. Being able to customize options is important because it is common to leverage options to fine-tune the behavior of DNS client.

* etcd client add dial timeout. ([#61459](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/61459), [@hzxuzhonghu](https://github.com/hzxuzhonghu))
* nil admission options are now consistent with other nil options. ([#63993](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/63993), [@tamalsaha](https://github.com/tamalsaha))

- Added new option to the InterPodAffinity scheduler plugin to ignore existing pods` preferred inter-pod affinities if the incoming pod has no preferred inter-pod affinities. This option can be used as an optimization for higher scheduling throughput (at the cost of an occasional pod being scheduled non-optimally/violating existing pods' preferred inter-pod affinities). To enable this scheduler option, set the InterPodAffinity scheduler plugin arg "ignor...

- Cluster admins can now turn off `/debug/pprof` and `/debug/flags/v` endpoint in kubelet by setting `enableProfilingHandler` and `enableDebugFlagsHandler` to `false` in the Kubelet configuration file. Options `enableProfilingHandler` and `enableDebugFlagsHandler` can be set to `true` only when `enableDebuggingHandlers` is also set to `true`.

#### Storage

* [stable] Mount options

  * The ability to specify mount options for volumes is moved from beta to stable.

  * A new `MountOptions` field in the `PersistentVolume` spec is available to specify mount options. This field replaces an annotation.

  * A new `MountOptions` field in the `StorageClass` spec allows configuration of mount options for dynamically provisioned volumes.

rate limit is switched to per-client. A set of new rate limit configure options are introduced, including routeRateLimit, SubnetsRateLimit, InterfaceRateLimit, RouteTableRateLimit, LoadBalancerRateLimit, PublicIPAddressRateLimit, SecurityGroupRateLimit, VirtualMachineRateLimit, StorageAccountRateLimit, DiskRateLimit, SnapshotRateLimit, VirtualMachineScaleSetRateLimit and VirtualMachineSizeRateLimit. The original rate limit options would be default values for those new client's rate limiter. ([#8651...

- The --docker-disable-shared-pid kubelet flag has been removed. PID namespace sharing can instead be enable per-pod using the ShareProcessNamespace option. ([#66506](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/66506), [@verb](https://github.com/verb))
- Added the --dns-loop-detect option to dnsmasq, which is run by kube-dns. ([#67302](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/67302), [@dixudx](https://github.com/dixudx))
