* AWS kube-up: tolerate a lack of ephemeral volumes ([#23776](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/23776), [@justinsb](https://github.com/justinsb))

A security issue was discovered in Kubernetes where users may be able to launch containers that bypass the mountable secrets policy enforced by the ServiceAccount admission plugin when using containers, init containers, and ephemeral containers with the envFrom field populated.

**Affected Versions**:
  - kube-apiserver v1.29.0 - v1.29.3
  - kube-apiserver v1.28.0 - v1.28.8
  - kube-apiserver <= v1.27.12

**Fixed Versions**:

and enabled by default.  The LocalStorageCapacityIsolation feature added a new resource type ResourceEphemeralStorage "ephemeral-storage" so that this resource can be allocated, limited, and consumed as the same way as CPU/memory. All the features related to resource management (resource request/limit, quota, limitrange) are available for local ephemeral storage. This local ephemeral storage represents the storage for root file system, which will be consumed by containers' writable layer and logs. Some...

server. See [MinIO Erasure Code Overview](https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/operations/concepts/erasure-coding.html) for more complete documentation. ### Stable Run the following command to run the latest stable image of MinIO as a container using an ephemeral data volume: ```sh podman run -p 9000:9000 -p 9001:9001 \ quay.io/minio/minio server /data --console-address ":9001" ``` The MinIO deployment starts using default root credentials `minioadmin:minioadmin`. You can test the deployment using the MinIO...

the mountable secrets policy enforced by the ServiceAccount admission plugin when using ephemeral containers. The policy ensures pods running with a service account may only reference secrets specified in the service account's secrets field. Kubernetes clusters are only affected if the ServiceAccount admission plugin and the `kubernetes.io/enforce-mountable-secrets` annotation are used together with ephemeral containers.

**Note**: This only impacts the cluster if the ServiceAccount admission...

- kubelet now allows the use of XFS quotas (on XFS and suitably configured ext4fs filesystems) to monitor storage consumption for ephemeral storage.  This method of monitoring consumption, which is currently available only for `emptyDir` volumes, is faster and more accurate than the old method of walking the filesystem tree. Note that it does not enforce limits, it only monitors consumption....
