* if the new state is "partialDisruption" or "fullDisruption" we call a user defined function that returns a new QPS to use (default 1/10 of the default rate, and the default rate respectively),
      * if the new state is "normal" we resume normal operation (go back to default limiter settings),
      * if all zones in the cluster are in "fullDisruption" state we stop all evictions.

* Updated default Elasticsearch and Kibana used for elasticsearch logging destination to versions 2.4.1 and 4.6.1 respectively. ([#34969](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/34969), [@Crassirostris](https://github.com/Crassirostris))

- The Kubelet's `--enable-server` and `--provider-id` option is now available via the Kubelet config file field `enableServer` and `providerID` respectively. ([#90494](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/90494), [@knabben](https://github.com/knabben)) [SIG Node]

- Reduced log verbosity for high-frequency, low-value log entries in Job, IPAM, and ReplicaSet controllers by adjusting them to V(2), V(4) and V(4) respectively. This change minimizes log noise while maintaining access to these logs when needed.

  * `.NodeName` and `.CRISocket` in the `MasterConfiguration` and `NodeConfiguration` v1alpha1 API objects are now `.NodeRegistration.Name` and `.NodeRegistration.CRISocket` respectively in the v1alpha2 API. The `.NoTaintMaster` field has been removed in the v1alpha2 API. ([#64210](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/64210), [@luxas](https://github.com/luxas))

- Reminder: The labels "failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/zone" and "failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/region" are deprecated in favor of "topology.kubernetes.io/zone" and "topology.kubernetes.io/region" respectively.  All users of the "failure-domain.beta..." labels should switch to the "topology..." equivalents.

to the Console port specifically. For example, consider a MinIO deployment behind a proxy `https://minio.example.net`, `https://console.minio.example.net` with rules for forwarding traffic on port :9000 and :9001 to MinIO and the MinIO Console respectively on the internal network. Set `MINIO_BROWSER_REDIRECT_URL` to `https://console.minio.example.net` to ensure the browser receives a valid reachable URL. Similarly, if your TLS certificates do not have the IP SAN for the MinIO server host, the MinIO...

Also, Job controller's constants for default backoff and maximal backoff are lowered down to 1s (from 10s) and 1min (from 6min), respectively. These constants are used to determine the backoff delay for the next Job controller sync in case of a request failure.

* The metrics APIs, `custom-metrics.metrics.k8s.io` and `metrics`, were moved from `v1alpha1` to `v1beta1`, and renamed to `custom.metrics.k8s.io` and `metrics.k8s.io`, respectively. If you have deployed a custom metrics adapter, ensure that it supports the new API version. If you have deployed Heapster in aggregated API server mode, upgrade Heapster to support the latest API version.
