* Federation binaries and their corresponding docker images - `federation-apiserver` and `federation-controller-manager` are now folded in to the `hyperkube` binary. If you were using one of these binaries or docker images, please switch to using the `hyperkube` version. Please refer to the federation manifests - `federation/manifests/federation-apiserver.yaml` and `federation/manifests/federation-controller-manager-deployment.yaml` for examples. ...

### **Cluster Federation**
#### Placement Policy
* [alpha] The federation-apiserver now supports a SchedulingPolicy admission controller that enables policy-based control over placement of federated resources. For more information, see [Set up placement policies in Federation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/federation/set-up-placement-policies-federation/).

#### Cluster Selection

management (beyond our initial Federation approach), and preparing
to release Federation for general availability ('GA').

### SIG Node

[SIG Node][] is responsible for the components that support the controlled
interactions between pods and host resources, and manage the lifecycle
of pods scheduled on a node.

*   Development of Kubernetes Federation has moved to [github.com/kubernetes/federation](https://github.com/kubernetes/federation). This move out of tree also means that Federation will begin releasing separately from Kubernetes. Impact:
    *   Federation-specific behavior will no longer be included in kubectl
    *   kubefed will no longer be released as part of Kubernetes
