- Revised the logic for DaemonSet rolling update to exclude nodes if scheduling constraints are not met.
  This eliminates the problem of rolling updates to a DaemonSet getting stuck around tolerations. ([#120792](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120792), [@mochizuki875](https://github.com/mochizuki875)) [SIG Apps and Testing]

* remove stale OutOfDisk condition from kubelet side ([#72507](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72507), [@dixudx](https://github.com/dixudx))
* Adds deleting pods created by DaemonSet assigned to not existing nodes. ([#73401](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/73401), [@krzysztof-jastrzebski](https://github.com/krzysztof-jastrzebski))

  - Add configurable `--network` and `--rm` flags for docker in `Makefile`
  - Subtract DaemonSet pods' requests from node allocatable in the denominator while computing node utilization
  - Include taints by condition when determining if a node is unready/still starting
  - Fix `update-vendor.sh` to work on OSX and zsh
  - Add best-effort eviction for DaemonSet pods while scaling down non-empty nodes
  - Add build support for ARM64
  

- Kube-controller-manager: Fixes a 1.33 regression in daemonset handling of orphaned pods ([#134652](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/134652), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG Apps]

- Enable `MaxSurge` for `DaemonSet` by default. ([#101742](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/101742), [@ravisantoshgudimetla](https://github.com/ravisantoshgudimetla))

- Kubeadm: do not use a DaemonSet for the pre-pull of control-plane images during "kubeadm upgrade apply". Individual node upgrades now pull the required images using a preflight check. The flag "--image-pull-timeout" for "kubeadm upgrade apply" is now deprecated and will be removed...

- Resolved a bug where DaemonSet updates unnecessarily triggered duplicate validation due to overlapping calls to `ValidateDaemonSet` and ValidateDaemonSetUpdate. This redundancy has been removed to prevent repeated validation runs. ([#132548](https://github.com/kubernetes/kube...

### Other notable announcements

SIG Network is moving IPv6 to Beta in Kubernetes 1.18, after incrementing significantly the test coverage with new CI jobs.

NodeLocal DNSCache is an add-on that runs a dnsCache pod as a daemonset to improve clusterDNS performance and reliability. The feature has been in Alpha since 1.13 release. The SIG Network is announcing the GA graduation of Node Local DNSCache [#1351](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/pull/1351)
