that allows it to track container images and the list of authentication information that leads to their successful pulls. This data is persisted across reboots of the host and restarts of the kubelet.
  
  The kubelet ensures any image requiring credential verification is always pulled if authentication information from an image pull is not yet present, thus enforcing authentication / re-authentication. This means an image pull might be attempted even in cases where a pod requests the `IfNotPresent`...

- In "large" clusters, kube-proxy in iptables mode will now sometimes
  leave unused rules in iptables for a while (up to `--iptables-sync-period`)
  before deleting them. This improves performance by not requiring it to
  check for stale rules on every sync. (In smaller clusters, it will still
  remove unused rules immediately once they are no longer used.)

### Added

* [alpha] Improve Flex volume deployment

  * 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
