* kube-apiserver: the default `--endpoint-reconciler-type` is now `lease`. The `master-count` endpoint reconciler type is deprecated and will be removed in 1.13. ([#63383](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/63383), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

* Update fluentd-gcp addon to 1.28.1 ([#39706](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/39706), [@ixdy](https://github.com/ixdy))
* Provide kubernetes-controller-manager flags to control volume attach/detach reconciler sync.  The duration of the syncs can be controlled, and the syncs can be shut off as well.  ([#39551](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/39551), [@chrislovecnm](https://github.com/chrislovecnm))

* Don't evict static pods ([#39059](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/39059), [@bprashanth](https://github.com/bprashanth))
* Provide kubernetes-controller-manager flags to control volume attach/detach reconciler sync.  The duration of the syncs can be controlled, and the syncs can be shut off as well.  ([#39551](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/39551), [@chrislovecnm](https://github.com/chrislovecnm))

- Kube-apiserver: the `--master-count` flag and `--endpoint-reconciler-type=master-count` reconciler are deprecated in favor of the lease reconciler ([#108062](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/108062), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea))

    * and  DefaultStorageClass admission plugin can be used to preserve similar behavior of Kubernetes cluster,
    * see https://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/persistent-volumes/#class-1 for details.
* Reduce verbosity of volume reconciler when attaching volumes ([#36900](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/36900), [@codablock](https://github.com/codablock))
