a bug in the transforming informer during the Resync operation, 
  by making the transforming function idempotent. ([#124352](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124352), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t)) [SIG API Machinery and Scheduling]

resources such as secrets, a mechanism to store resource encryption keys in external Key Management Systems (KMS) was introduced. This complements the original file-based storage and allows integration with multiple KMS. A Google Cloud KMS plugin was added and will be usable once the Google side of the integration is complete.
