SIG Node iterated on the ability to support more workloads with better performance and improved reliability.  Alpha features were improved around hardware accelerator support, device plugins enablement, and cpu pinning policies to enable us to graduate these features to beta in a future release.  In addition, a number of reliability and performance enhancements were made across the node to help operators in production.

### OpenStack

hostnames from the original probe request. Instead, these non-local redirects will be treated as a Success (the documented behavior). In this case an event with reason "ProbeWarning" will be generated, indicating that the redirect was ignored. If you were previously relying on the redirect to run health checks against different endpoints, you will need to perform the healthcheck logic outside the Kubelet, for instance by proxying the external endpoint rather than redirecting to it.
