The SIG also focused on adding functionality to the Kubernetes volume subsystem, such as alpha support for exposing volumes as block devices inside containers, extending the alpha volume-resizing support to more volume plugins, and topology-aware volume scheduling.

### Windows

- Graduated support for `minDomains` in pod topology spread constraints, to general availability.
  The `MinDomainsInPodTopologySpread` feature gate no longer has any effect, and the field is

### AWS

- Kubernetes will now use the zone from the node for topology aware aws-ebs volume creation to reduce unnecessary cloud provider calls. ([#78276](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/78276), [@zhan849](https://github.com/zhan849))

SIG Storage also moves support for Block Volumes to beta (introduced as alpha in v1.9) and support for Topology Aware Volume Scheduling to stable (introduced as alpha in v1.9 and promoted to beta in 1.10).

### SIG UI

- Fixed PersistentolumeLabel providing wrong topology labels to Azure Disk PersistentVolumes when the external Azure cloud provider is used. ([#124528](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124528), [@jsafrane](https://github.com/jsafrane)) [SIG Cloud Provider]

nts/issues/498) and [Persistent Volumes that are bound to a Persistent Volume Claim](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/499), making it impossible to delete storage that is in use by a pod.

This release also includes [Topology Aware Volume Scheduling](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/490) for local persistent volumes, the stable release of [Detailed storage metrics of internal state](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/496), and beta support...

### Additional Notable Feature Updates

- [Topology Manager](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/693), a new Kubelet component, aims to co-ordinate resource assignment decisions to provide optimized resource allocations.
