  * Note that because any taints you might have created with Kubernetes 1.5 can only affect the scheduling of new pods (the `NoExecute` taint effect is introduced in 1.6), neither the master upgrade nor your running `kubectl taint` to re-create the taints will affect pods that are already running.

### SIG OpenStack

- Openstack now supports the node shutdown taint. The taint is added when an instance is shutdown in openstack. ([#67982](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/67982), [@zetaab](https://github.com/zetaab))

### SIG Scheduling

### **Scheduling**

*   Taint key `unreachable` is now in GA.
*   Taint key `notReady` is changed to `not-ready`, and is also now in GA.
*   These changes are automatically updated for taints. Tolerations for these taints must be updated manually. Specifically, you must:
    *   Change `node.alpha.kubernetes.io/notReady` to `node.kubernetes.io/not-ready`

- Kubeadm: only taint control plane nodes when the legacy "master" taint is present. This avoids the bug where "kubeadm upgrade" will re-taint a control plane  node with the new "control plane" taint even if the user explicitly untainted the node. ([#109840](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/109840), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123))

  - The taint applied to control-plane nodes "node-role.kubernetes.io/master:NoSchedule" is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release after a GA deprecation period.
  - Apply toleration for a new, future taint "node-role.kubernetes.io/control-plane:NoSchedule" to the kubeadm CoreDNS / kube-dns managed manifests. Note that this taint is not yet applied to kubeadm control-plane nodes.
