### SIG-OpenStack

### Node

SIG Node iterated on the ability to support more workloads with better performance and improved reliability.  Alpha features were improved around hardware accelerator support, device plugins enablement, and cpu pinning policies to enable us to graduate these features to beta in a future release.  In addition, a number of reliability and performance enhancements were made across the node to help operators in production.

*   A major refactoring of the internals of the Keras Functional API has been
    completed, that should improve the reliability, stability, and performance
    of constructing Functional models.

*   Keras mixed precision API

SIG Network is moving IPv6 to Beta in Kubernetes 1.18, after incrementing significantly the test coverage with new CI jobs.

NodeLocal DNSCache is an add-on that runs a dnsCache pod as a daemonset to improve clusterDNS performance and reliability. The feature has been in Alpha since 1.13 release. The SIG Network is announcing the GA graduation of Node Local DNSCache [#1351](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/pull/1351)

## Known Issues

- Fix job controller syncs: In case of conflicts, ensure that the sync happens with the most up to date information. Improves reliability of JobTrackingWithFinalizers. ([#105214](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105214), [@alculquicondor](https://github.com/alculquicondor))

### SIG Windows

SIG Windows focused on improving reliability for Windows and Kubernetes support

## New Features

on a broad set of workload types, including hardware and performance
sensitive workloads such as data analytics and deep learning. The SIG also
delivered incremental improvements to node reliability.
