Dormouse began in a great hurry; `and their names were Elsie,
Lacie, and Tillie; and they lived at the bottom of a well--'

  `What did they live on?' said Alice, who always took a great
interest in questions of eating and drinking.

  `They lived on treacle,' said the Dormouse, after thinking a

remarked; `they'd have been ill.'

- kubeadm now works better when not connected to the Internet. In addition,  common kubeadm commands will now work without an available networking interface. ([#67397](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/67397), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123))

Kubernetes version 1.9 includes new features and enhancements, as well as fixes to identified issues. The release notes contain a brief overview of the important changes introduced in this release.

### AWS

* Add AWS cloud provider option to use an assumed IAM role. For example, this allows running Controller Manager in a account separate from the worker nodes, but still allows all resources created to interact with the workers. ELBs created would be in the same account as the worker nodes for instance.([#59668](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/59668), [@brycecarman](https://github.com/brycecarman))

* Add docs for [self-serving docs' (Swagger UI) static assets](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/advanced/extending-openapi/#self-hosting-javascript-and-css-for-docs), e.g. to use the docs offline, or without Internet. Initial PR [#557](https://github.com/tiangolo/fastapi/pull/557) by [@svalouch](https://github.com/svalouch).
