## Known Issues

- There is a known issue [coredns/coredns#2629](https://github.com/coredns/coredns/issues/2629) in CoreDNS 1.3.1, wherein if the Kubernetes API shuts down while CoreDNS is connected, CoreDNS will crash. The issue is fixed in CoreDNS 1.4.0 in [coredns/coredns#2529](https://github.com/coredns/coredns/pull/2529).

Sig Storage graduated two features that had been introduced in previous versions and introduced three new features in an alpha state.

The StorageProtection feature, which prevents deletion of PVCs while Pods are still using them and of PVs while still bound to a PVC, is now generally available, and volume resizing, which lets you increase size of a volume after a Pod restarts is now beta, which means it is on by default.

New alpha features include:

* Support German cloud for azure disk mount feature ([#50673](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/50673), [@clement-buchart](https://github.com/clement-buchart))
* BugFix: Exited containers are not Garbage Collected by the kubelet while the pod is running ([#53167](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53167), [@dashpole](https://github.com/dashpole))

        if (content == null) {
            return StringUtil.EMPTY;
        }
        String value = content;
        int pos = value.indexOf("<!--");
        while (pos >= 0) {
            final int lastPos = value.indexOf("-->", pos);
            if (lastPos < 0) {
                break;
            }
            if (pos == 0) {

### SIG-OpenStack

* Fix a bug where pod address is not removed from endpoints object while pod is in graceful termination. ([#54828](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54828), [@freehan](https://github.com/freehan))

* Fix kube-controller-manager panic while provisioning Azure security group rules ([#64739](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/64739), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer))

### Bug or Regression

- Added a feature gate `OrderedNamespaceDeletion`. When enabled, the pods resources are deleted before all other resources while namespace deletion to ensure workload security.

 - Avoid unnecessary scheduling churn when annotations are updated while Pods are being scheduled. ([#90373](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/90373), [@fabiokung](https://github.com/fabiokung)) [SIG Scheduling]
