- Remove support for building Kubernetes with bazel.

- Improving the testing harness for the cloud provider by introducing vcsim for automated testing
- Fixing a bug that was preventing updates from 1.10 to 1.11

* When the `PodShareProcessNamespace` alpha feature is enabled, setting `pod.Spec.ShareProcessNamespace` to `true` will cause a single process namespace to be shared between all containers in a pod. ([#58716](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58716), [@verb](https://github.com/verb))

### SIG Scalability

[SIG Scalability][] is responsible for scalability testing, measuring and
improving system performance, and answering questions related to scalability.

For the 1.8 release, SIG Scalability focused on automating large cluster
scalability testing in a continuous integration (CI) environment. The SIG
defined a concrete process for scalability testing, created

* The Kubelet's deprecated `--allow-privileged` flag now defaults to true. This enables users to stop setting `--allow-privileged` in order to transition to `PodSecurityPolicy`. Previously, users had to continue setting `--allow-privileged`, because the default was false. ([#63442](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/63442), [@mtaufen](https://github.com/mtaufen))

*   The Kubelet's feature gates are now specified as a map when provided via a JSON or YAML KubeletConfiguration, rather than as a string of key-value pairs, making them less awkward for users. ([#53025](https://github.com/kubernete...

deprecated, and will be removed in a future release. The default behavior (proxy streaming requests through the kubelet) will be the only supported option. If you are setting `--redirect-container-streaming=true`, then you must migrate off this configuration. The flag will no longer be able to be enabled starting in v1.20. If you are not setting the flag, no action is necessary. ([#88290](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88290), [@tallclair](https://github.com/tallclair)) [SIG API Machinery...

### Bug or Regression

- Revised the logic for DaemonSet rolling update to exclude nodes if scheduling constraints are not met.
  This eliminates the problem of rolling updates to a DaemonSet getting stuck around tolerations. ([#120786](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120786), [@mochizuki875](https://github.com/mochizuki875)) [SIG Apps and Testing]

- Use NLB Subnet CIDRs instead of VPC CIDRs in Health Check SG Rules ([#93515](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/93515), [@t0rr3sp3dr0](https://github.com/t0rr3sp3dr0)) [SIG Cloud Provider]
