- Static pods were taking extra time to be restarted after being updated.  Static pods that are waiting to restart were not correctly counted in `kubelet_working_pods`. ([#116995](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116995), [@smarterclayton](https://github.com/smarterclayton)) [SIG Node]

### Storage

- Fixed issue with kubelet waiting on invalid devicepath on AWS ([#78595](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/78595), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied))

* fix CreateVolume func: use search mode instead ([#54687](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54687), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))
* remove time waiting after create storage account (save 25s) ([#56679](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/56679), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))

*   Problems deleting local static pods have been resolved....

* Fix a race condition in which kubeadm only waits for the kubelets kubeconfig file when it has performed the TLS bootstrap, but wasn't waiting for certificates to be present in the filesystem ([#72030](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72030), [@ereslibre](https://github.com/ereslibre))

### Documentation

- Enhanced clarity in error messaging when waiting for volume creation ([#118262](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118262), [@torredil](https://github.com/torredil)) [SIG Apps and Storage]

### Failing Test

- Do not expand volume on the node, if controller expansion is finished ([#132010](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/132010), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied)) [SIG Storage]
- Do not log error event when waiting for expansion on the kubelet ([#132099](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/132099), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied)) [SIG Storage]

* Fixed issue 63608, which is that under rare circumstances the ResourceQuota admission controller could lose track of an request in progress and time out after waiting 10 seconds for a decision to be made.

# v1.11.0

[Documentation](https://docs.k8s.io)

  
    - Traffic to a service IP now starts getting rejected (as opposed to
      merely dropped) as soon as there are no longer any *usable*
      endpoints, rather than waiting until all of the terminating
      endpoints have terminated even when those terminating endpoints
      were not being used.
  
    - Chains for endpoints that won't be used are no longer output to

   The `read_vs_write_current_requests` metric histogram is adjusted, in the case of using API Priority and Fairness instead of max-in-flight, to divide by the relevant limit: sum of queue capacities for waiting requests, sum of seat limits for executing requests.
