`v1beta1.KubeletConfiguration`. The new patch target is called `kubeletconfiguration` (e.g. patch file `kubeletconfiguration+json.json`).This makes it possible to apply node specific KubeletConfiguration options during `init`, `join` and `upgrade`, while the main `KubeletConfiguration` that is passed to `init` as part of the `--config` file can still act as the global stored in the cluster `KubeletConfiguration`.

- Users will see increase in time for deletion of pods and also guarantee that removal of pod from api server  would mean deletion of all the resources from container runtime. ([#92817](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/92817), [@kmala](https://github.com/kmala)) [SIG Node]

  The possibility of borrowing means that the old metric `apiserver_flowcontrol_request_concurrency_limit` can no longer mean both the configured concurrency limit and the enforced concurrency limit. Henceforth it means the configured concurrency limit.' ([#113485](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113485), [@MikeSpreitzer](https://github.com/MikeSpreitzer))

- Updated kube-apiserver's priority & fairness work estimator such that 'max seats' is MIN(0.15 x nominalCL, nominalCL / handSize)
  

    * faster handoff when a leader-elected process is gracefully terminated.
* Make volume binder resilient to races between main schedule loop and async binding operation  ([#72045](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72045), [@cofyc](https://github.com/cofyc))

Kubernetes 1.15 consists of **25 enhancements**: 2 moving to stable, 13 in beta, and 10 in alpha. The main themes of this release are:

#### Continuous Improvement

* fix azure disk create failure due to sdk upgrade ([#67236](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/67236), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))
* Kubeadm join --control-plane main workflow ([#66873](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/66873), [@fabriziopandini](https://github.com/fabriziopandini))

  Notes:
   * Tika supports a wider range of match types than Freedesktop does
   * Glob patterns must be unique, if there's a clash assign to the most
     popular format
   * The main mime type should be the canonical one, use aliases for any
     other widely used forms
   * Where there's a hierarchy in the types, list it via a parent
   * Highly specific magic matches get a high priority

* Restored cAdvisor prometheus metrics to the main port -- a regression that existed in v1.7.0-v1.7.2 ([#49079](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/49079), [@smarterclayton](https://github.com/smarterclayton))
