### Introducing Windows CSI support alpha for Kubernetes

With the release of Kubernetes 1.18, an alpha version of CSI Proxy for Windows is getting released. CSI proxy enables non-privileged (pre-approved) containers to perform privileged storage operations on Windows. CSI drivers can now be supported in Windows by leveraging CSI proxy.
SIG Storage made a lot of progress in the 1.18 release.

documented behavior). In this case an event with reason "ProbeWarning" will be generated, indicating that the redirect was ignored. If you were previously relying on the redirect to run health checks against different endpoints, you will need to perform the healthcheck logic outside the Kubelet, for instance by proxying the external endpoint rather than redirecting to it.

### CSI Proxy for Windows

The CSI Proxy for Windows is being promoted to beta along with the 1.19 release. This CSI Proxy enables CSI Drivers to run on Windows by allowing containers in Windows to perform privileged storage operations. At beta, the CSI Proxy for Windows supports storage drivers using direct attached disks and SMB.

### Dashboard v2

 - There is a new OCI image registry (`registry.k8s.io`) that can be used to pull Kubernetes images. The old registry (`k8s.gcr.io`) will continue to be supported for the foreseeable future, but the new name should perform better because it frontends equivalent mirrors in other clouds.  Please point your clusters to the new registry going forward. \n\nAdmission/Policy integrations that have an allowlist of registries need to include `registry.k8s.io` alongside `k8s...
