This release also contains a number of bug fixes to the feature set. Aspiring plugin authors can look at [sample-exec-plugin](https://github.com/ankeesler/sample-exec-plugin) as a way to get started.

* Fixes issue during LB creation where ports where incorrectly assigned to a floating IP ([#44387](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/44387), [@jamiehannaford](https://github.com/jamiehannaford))
* Remove redis-proxy.yaml sample, as the image is nowhere to be found. ([#44801](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/44801), [@klausenbusk](https://github.com/klausenbusk))

  * Flex volume driver deployment is simplified in the following ways:

    * New driver files can now be automatically discovered and initialized without requiring a kubelet or controller-manager restart.

    * A sample DaemonSet to deploy Flexvolume drivers is now available.

* [prototype] Volume snapshots

  * You can now create a volume snapshot by calling the Kubernetes API.

### Documentation

- Updated the instructions for deploying the sample app. ([#82785](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/82785), [@ashish-billore](https://github.com/ashish-billore)) [SIG API Machinery]

### Failing Test

* Deprecate outofdisk-transition-frequency and low-diskspace-threshold-mb flags ([#41941](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/41941), [@dashpole](https://github.com/dashpole))
* Add OWNERS for sample-apiserver in staging ([#42094](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/42094), [@sttts](https://github.com/sttts))

    * action required: Cloud providers other than GCE might want to update their deployments or sample yaml files to reuse the role created via add-on.
