* Specifically the new controller watches the API server for scheduled pods. It processes each pod and ensures that any volumes that implement the volume Attacher interface are attached to the node their pod is scheduled to.

- Updating kubelet permissions check for Windows nodes to see if process is elevated instead of checking if process owner is in Administrators group ([#111078](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/111078), [@marosset](https://github.com/marosset)) [SIG Node and Windows]

### Added

  /**
   * There's a race condition where the cancel may apply after the stream has already been
   * processed.

  @Test
  fun canceledAfterResponseIsDeliveredBreaksStreamButSignalsOnce() {
    server.enqueue(MockResponse(body = "A"))
    val latch = CountDownLatch(1)
    val bodyRef = AtomicReference<String?>()

*...

* Fix an issue in inter-pod affinity predicate that cause affinity to self being processed correctly ([#62591](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/62591), [@bsalamat](https://github.com/bsalamat))

- Kubelet.exe on Windows now checks that the process running as administrator and the executing user account is listed in the built-in administrators group.  This is the equivalent to checking the process is running as uid 0. ([#96616](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96616), [@perithompson](https://github.com/perithompson)) [SIG Node and Windows]

- GCE/Windows: When the service cannot be stopped Stackdriver logging processes are now force killed ([#77378](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/77378), [@yujuhong](https://github.com/yujuhong))

*   If a namespaced resource is owned by a cluster scoped resource, and the namespaced dependent is processed before the cluster scoped owner has ever been observed by the garbage collector, the dependent will be erroneously deleted.

  For more information, see [#54940](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/54940)

    * Each deployment method should bind users/groups to the ClusterRoles if they are using this feature.
* Adds AllowPrivilegeEscalation to control whether a process can gain more privileges than its parent process ([#47019](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/47019), [@jessfraz](https://github.com/jessfraz))

### SIG-cloud-provider

This is the first Kubernetes release for this SIG! In v1.12, SIG Cloud Provider focused on building the processes and infrastructure to better support existing and new cloud providers. Some of these initiatives (many of which are still in progress) are:
