However, for jobs with `parallelism > 1`, pods might be created without exponential backoff delay.

### Cluster Federation

#### [alpha] Federated Jobs

Federated Jobs that are automatically deployed to multiple clusters
are now supported. Cluster selection and weighting determine how Job
parallelism and completions are spread across clusters. Federated Job
status reflects the aggregate status across all underlying cluster
jobs.

#### [alpha] Federated Horizontal Pod Autoscaling (HPA)

- **Apps**
  - [alpha] Introducing 'ScheduledJobs', which allow running time based Jobs, namely once at a specified time or repeatedly at specified point in time. ([docs](http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/scheduled-jobs/)) ([kubernetes/features#19](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/19))
- **Auth**

* **[alpha]** All in one volume proposal - a new volume driver capable of projecting secrets, configmaps, and downward API items into the same directory.

## Deprecations
* Remove extensions/v1beta1 Jobs resource, and job/v1beta1 generator. ([#38614](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/38614), [@soltysh](https://github.com/soltysh))

## Deprecations

* extensions/v1beta1.Jobs is deprecated, use batch/v1.Job instead ([#36355](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/36355), [@soltysh](https://github.com/soltysh))

- 'Graduated `JobTrackingWithFinalizers` to stable.
  Jobs created before the feature was enabled are still tracked without finalizers.
  Jobs tracked with finalizers have the annotation batch.kubernetes.io/job-tracking.
  If the annotation is present and the user attempts to remove it, the control plane adds it back.
  The annotation `batch.kubernetes.io/job-tracking` is now deprecated.

to ci-cross/latest.txt. Users should know exactly where the builds are stored on Google Cloud storage buckets from now on. For example for 1.9 and 1.10, users can specify ci/latest-1.9 and ci/latest-1.10 as the CI build jobs what build images correctly updates those. The CI jobs for master update the ci-cross/latest location, so if you are looking for latest master builds, then the correct parameter to use would be ci-cross/latest.

- Fixed a bug in the Job controller that could result in creating unnecessary Pods for Jobs already marked as finished (either successful or failed). ([#130333](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130333), [@kmala](https://github.com/kmala)) [SIG Apps and Testing]
