alternative to `EmptyDir` volumes: as with `EmptyDir`, volumes are created and deleted for each pod automatically by Kubernetes. But because the normal provisioning process is used (`PersistentVolumeClaim`), storage can be provided by third-party storage vendors and all of the usual volume features work. Volumes don't need to be empt; for example, restoring from snapshot is supported.

* Bugfix: OpenAPI models may not get group-version-kind extension if kubernetes is vendored in another project (e.g. minikube). Kubectl 1.8 needs this extension to work with those projects. ([#53152](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53152), [@mbohlool](https://github.com/mbohlool))

See [this doc](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/sig-storage/volume-plugin-faq.md#kubernetes-volume-plugin-faq-for-storage-vendors) for more information.
Maintainers of FlexVolume drivers should implement a CSI driver and move users of FlexVolume to CSI.
Users of FlexVolume should move their workloads to CSI driver.

*   `conversion-gen` is now usable in a context without a vendored k8s.io/kubernetes. The Kubernetes core API is removed from `default extra-peer-dirs`. ([#54394](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54394),[ @sttts](https://github.com/sttts))

make(chan int, 100)

<p>
The capacity, in number of elements, sets the size of the buffer in the channel.
If the capacity is zero or absent, the channel is unbuffered and communication
succeeds only when both a sender and receiver are ready. Otherwise, the channel
is buffered and communication succeeds without blocking if the buffer
is not full (sends) or not empty (receives).
A <code>nil</code> channel is never ready for communication.
