### SIG OpenStack

- Openstack now supports the node shutdown taint. The taint is added when an instance is shutdown in openstack. ([#67982](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/67982), [@zetaab](https://github.com/zetaab))

### SIG Scheduling

  the change pods which use RestartPolicy=Always may end up in the Succeeded phase in two scenarios: pod 
  deletion and graceful node shutdown. ([#115331](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115331), [@mimowo](https://github.com/mimowo)) [SIG Cloud Provider, Node and Testing]
