* 2. A cluster can be dualstack (i.e. Pods and nodes carry dualstack IPs) but does not need to support ingress on dualstack. In this case the cluster can perform egress using `PodIPs` (according to family and binding selection in user code) but will ingress will only be performed against the pod primary IP. This can be configured by supplying single entry to `--service-cluster-ip-range` flag.

#### Azure

- Kubelet can now run without identity on Azure. A sample cloud provider configuration is:  `{"vmType": "vmss", "useInstanceMetadata": true, "subscriptionId": "<subscriptionId>"}` ([#77906](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/77906), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer))
- Multiple Kubernetes clusters can now share the same resource group

- Introduced a feature gate mechanism to `client-go`. Depending on the actual implementation, users can control features via environmental variables or command line options. ([#122555](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122555), [@p0lyn0mial](https://github.com/p0lyn0mial))

- the ability to rollback to etcd2 can be preserved by setting the storage media type flag on `kube-apiserver`

  ```
  --storage-media-type application/json
  ```

  to continue to use `application/json` as the storage media type which can be changed to
  `application/vnd.kubernetes.protobuf` at a later time.

## Major updates and release themes

* 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))

rollback.
  * <strong>Automated cluster management: </strong>
     * Kubernetes clusters can now span zones within a cloud provider. Pods from a
service will be automatically spread across zones, enabling applications to
tolerate zone failure.
     * Simplified way to run a container on every node (DaemonSet API (Beta) in the
Extensions API group): Kubernetes can schedule a service (such as a logging
agent) that runs one, and only one, pod per node.

Kubeadm: Automate certificate copy between control planes in HA setups

- Joining control plane nodes to a HA cluster can now be simplified by enabling the optional automatic copy of certificates from an existing control plane node.
- You can now use `kubeadm init --experimental-upload-certs` and `kubeadm join --experimental-control-plane --certificate-key`.

* kubeadm: Make kube-proxy tolerate the external cloud provider taint so that an external cloud provider can be easily used on top of kubeadm ([#49017](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/49017), [@luxas](https://github.com/luxas))
