	   annotation, you should delete any existing NetworkPolicy
	   objects. These would have had no effect before, but with v1
	   semantics they might cause some traffic to be blocked that you
	   didn't intend to be blocked.

### Other notable changes

* Added exponential backoff to Azure cloudprovider ([#46660](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/46660), [@jackfrancis](https://github.com/jackfrancis))

- For raw block CSI volumes on Kubernetes, kubelet was incorrectly calling CSI NodeStageVolume for every single "map" (i.e. raw block "mount") operation for a volume already attached to the node. This PR ensures it is only called once per volume per node. ([#112403](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112403), ...

- Enhanced the daemonset sync logic to avoid a problem where pods are thought to be unavailable when the controller's clock is slower than the node's clock. ([#77208](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/77208), [@DaiHao](https://github.com/DaiHao))

SIG Storage made a lot of progress in the 1.18 release.
In particular, the following storage features are moving to GA in Kubernetes 1.18:
- Raw Block Support: Allow volumes to be surfaced as block devices inside containers instead of just mounted filesystems.
- Volume Cloning: Duplicate a PersistentVolumeClaim and underlying storage volume using the Kubernetes API via CSI.

- Removed withdrawn feature `NetworkPolicyStatus`. ([#115843](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115843), [@rikatz](https://github.com/rikatz))

- For raw block CSI volumes on Kubernetes, kubelet was incorrectly calling CSI `NodeStageVolume` for every single "map" (i.e. raw block "mount") operation for a volume already attached to the node. This change modified that behavior to ensure it is only called once per volume per node. ([#112403](https://github.com/kubern...
