### Volumes
* StorageClass pre-installed and set as default on Azure, AWS, GCE, OpenStack, and vSphere.
  * This is something to pay close attention to if you’ve been using Kubernetes for a while, because it changes the default behavior of PersistentVolumeClaim objects on these clouds.

### Instrumentation

In v1.9 we focused on improving stability of the components owned by the SIG, including Heapster, Custom Metrics API adapters for Prometheus, and Stackdriver.

### Bug or Regression

- Currently, NodeAdded QueueingHint could not always be called because of the internal feature called preCheck.
  It's definitely not something expected for plugin developers,
  and we're trying to eventually remove preCheck completely to fix this.
  Until then we'll register UpdateNodeTaint event for plugins that have NodeAdded event, but don't have UpdateNodeTaint event.

### 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

### SIG-Azure

Sig Azure was focused on two primary new alpha features:
- Adding Azure Availability Zones support to cloud provider.

*   Performance improvements for gRPC
*   Improved support for fp16
*   New high-level ops in tf.contrib. {layers,metrics}
*   New features for TensorBoard, such as shape display, exponential smoothing
*   Faster and more stable Google Cloud Storage (GCS) filesystem support
*   Support for zlib compression and decompression for TFRecordReader and
    TFRecordWriter
*   Support for reading (animated) GIFs
