### SIG Instrumentation

As far as Sig Instrumentation, the major change in Kubernetes 1.11 is the deprecation of Heapster as part of ongoing efforts to move to the new Kubernetes monitoring model. Clusters still using Heapster for autoscaling should be migrated over to metrics-server and the custom metrics API. See the deprecation section for more information.

## Urgent Upgrade Notes
### (No, really, you MUST read this before you upgrade)
#### Cluster Lifecycle
- Kubeadm: add a new `kubelet-finalize` phase as part of the `init` workflow and an experimental sub-phase to enable automatic kubelet client certificate rotation on primary control-plane nodes.

- The `system:aws-cloud-provider` cluster role, deprecated in v1.13, is no longer auto-created. Deployments using the AWS cloud provider should grant required permissions to the `aws-cloud-provider` service account in the `kube-system` namespace as part of deployment.  ([#66635](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/66635), [@wgliang](https://github.com/wgliang))

#### Azure

* Third Party Resource tests in the e2e suite were incorrectly marked as part of the conformance bucket.  They are alpha and are not required for conformance. ([#52823](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52823), [@smarterclayton](https://github.com/smarterclayton))
