### CSI Volume health monitoring
 

### SIG-autoscaling

SIG Autoscaling focused on improving the Horizontal Pod Autoscaling API and algorithm:
- We released autoscaling/v2beta2, which cleans up and unifies the API
- We improved readiness detection and smoothing to work well in a larger variety or use cases

For instance, given the declarations

<pre>
var x = I(T{}).ab()   // x has an undetected, hidden dependency on a and b
var _ = sideEffect()  // unrelated to x, a, or b
var a = b
var b = 42

type I interface      { ab() []int }
type T struct{}
func (T) ab() []int   { return []int{a, b} }
