- Kubeadm: relax the validation of kubeconfig server URLs. Allow the user to define custom kubeconfig server URLs without erroring out during validation of existing kubeconfig files (e.g. when using external CA mode).

    * The apiserver also now takes an optional flag "--maximum-startup-sequence-duration". This allows you to explicitly define an upper bound on the apiserver startup sequences before healthz begins to fail. By keeping the kubelet liveness initial delay short, this can enable quick kubelet recovery as soon as we have a boot sequence which has not completed in our expected...

- During device plugin allocation, resources requested by the pod can only be allocated if the device plugin has registered itself to kubelet AND healthy devices are present on the node to be allocated. If these conditions are not sattsfied, the pod would fail with `UnexpectedAdmissionError` error. ([#11...

- Existing InTree AzureFile PVs which don't have a secret namespace defined will now work properly after enabling CSI migration - the namespace will be obtained from ClaimRef.

* Till this release, iscsi plugin was waiting 10 seconds for a path to appear in the device list. However this timeout is not enough or less than default device discovery timeout in most of the systems which cause certain device to be not accounted for the volume. This timeout has been lifted to 30seconds from this release and it should help to avoid mount issues due to device discovery.

* Do not consider master instance zones for dynamic volume creation ([#41702](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/41702), [@justinsb](https://github.com/justinsb))
* Fix AWS device allocator to only use valid device names ([#41455](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/41455), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied))
