## Major Themes

### SIG API Machinery

SIG API work this cycle involved development of the "dry run" functionality, which enables users to see the results of a particular command without persisting those changes.

### SIG-autoscaling

SIG Autoscaling focused on improving the Horizontal Pod Autoscaling API and algorithm:

	// Block 1: Testing for racy access
	// The assertion is removed from this block since the purpose of this block is to find races
	// The purpose this block is not to check for correctness of functionality
	// Run the test with -race flag to utilize this
	var wg sync.WaitGroup
	for range testConcurrencyLevel {
		wg.Add(1)
		go func() {
			defer wg.Done()
			// HTTP request to create the bucket.

- Introduces new alpha functionality to the reflector, allowing user to enable API streaming.
  
  To activate this feature, users can set the `ENABLE_CLIENT_GO_WATCH_LIST_ALPHA` environmental variable.

- The core functionality of Dynamic Resource Allocation (DRA) got promoted to beta. No action is required when *upgrading*, the previous v1alpha3 API is still supported, so existing deployments and DRA drivers based on v1alpha3 continue to work. *Downgrading* from 1.32...

// Test for validating complete Multipart upload.
func TestObjectCompleteMultipartUpload(t *testing.T) {
	ExecExtendedObjectLayerTest(t, testObjectCompleteMultipartUpload)
}

// Tests validate CompleteMultipart functionality.
func testObjectCompleteMultipartUpload(obj ObjectLayer, instanceType string, t TestErrHandler) {
	var err error
	bucketNames := []string{"minio-bucket", "minio-2-bucket"}
	objectNames := []string{"minio-object-1.txt"}

			respBytes, apiErr, errMsg := globalAllHealState.LaunchNewHealSequence(nh, objectAPI)
			hr := healResp{respBytes, apiErr, errMsg}
			respCh <- hr
		}()
	}

	// Due to the force-starting functionality, the Launch
	// call above can take a long time - to keep the
	// connection alive, we start sending whitespace
	keepConnLive(w, r, respCh)
}

	// clean up the temporary test backend.
	removeRoots(append(erasureDisks, fsDir))
}

// ExecExtendedObjectLayerTest will execute the tests with combinations of encrypted & compressed.
// This can be used to test functionality when reading and writing data.
func ExecExtendedObjectLayerAPITest(t *testing.T, objAPITest objAPITestType, endpoints []string) {
	execExtended(t, func(t *testing.T, init func(), makeBucketOptions MakeBucketOptions) {

```

MinIO server also supports [NATS Streaming mode](http://nats.io/documentation/streaming/nats-streaming-intro/) that offers additional functionality like `At-least-once-delivery`, and `Publisher rate limiting`. To configure MinIO server to send notifications to NATS Streaming server, update the MinIO server configuration file as follows:

Updated Plugin Mechanism for kubectl is Graduating to Stable ([#579](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/579))

- Extends functionality to kubectl to support extensions adding new commands as well as overriding specific subcommands (at any depth).
- Documentation fixes
