What’s New (Major Themes)

Deprecation of PodSecurityPolicy

PSP as an admission controller resource is being deprecated. Deployed PodSecurityPolicy’s will keep working until version 1.25, their target removal from the codebase. A new feature, with a working title of “PSP replacement policy”, is being developed in KEP-2579. To learn more, read PodSecurityPolicy Deprecation: Past, Present, and Future.

Kubernetes API Reference Documentation

The API reference is now generated with gen-resourcesdocs and it is moving to Kubernetes API

Kustomize Updates in Kubectl

Kustomize version in kubectl had a jump from v2.0.3 to v4.0.5. Kustomize is now treated as a library and future updates will be less sporadic.

Default Container Labels

Pod with multiple containers can use kubectl.kubernetes.io/default-container label to have a container preselected for kubectl commands. More can be read in KEP-2227.

Immutable Secrets and ConfigMaps

Immutable Secrets and ConfigMaps graduates to GA. This feature allows users to specify that the contents of a particular Secret or ConfigMap is immutable for its object lifetime. For such instances, Kubelet will not watch/poll for changes and therefore reducing apiserver load.

Structured Logging in Kubelet

Kubelet has adopted structured logging, thanks to community effort in accomplishing this within the release timeline. Structured logging in the project remains an ongoing effort — for folks interested in participating, keep an eye / chime in to the mailing list discussion.

Storage Capacity Tracking

Traditionally, the Kubernetes scheduler was based on the assumptions that additional persistent storage is available everywhere in the cluster and has infinite capacity. Topology constraints addressed the first point, but up to now pod scheduling was still done without considering that the remaining storage capacity may not be enough to start a new pod. Storage capacity tracking addresses that by adding an API for a CSI driver to report storage capacity and uses that information in the Kubernetes scheduler when choosing a node for a pod. This feature serves as a stepping stone for supporting dynamic provisioning for local volumes and other volume types that are more capacity constrained.

Generic Ephemeral Volumes

Generic ephermeral volumes feature allows any existing storage driver that supports dynamic provisioning to be used as an ephemeral volume with the volume’s lifecycle bound to the Pod. It can be used to provide scratch storage that is different from the root disk, for example persistent memory, or a separate local disk on that node. All StorageClass parameters for volume provisioning are supported. All features supported with PersistentVolumeClaims are supported, such as storage capacity tracking, snapshots and restore, and volume resizing.

CSI Service Account Token

CSI Service Account Token feature moves to Beta in 1.21. This feature improves the security posture and allows CSI drivers to receive pods’ bound service account tokens. This feature also provides a knob to re-publish volumes so that short-lived volumes can be refreshed.

CSI Health Monitoring

The CSI health monitoring feature is being released as a second Alpha in Kubernetes 1.21. This feature enables CSI Drivers to share abnormal volume conditions from the underlying storage systems with Kubernetes so that they can be reported as events on PVCs or Pods. This feature serves as a stepping stone towards programmatic detection and resolution of individual volume health issues by Kubernetes.

Known Issues

TopologyAwareHints feature falls back to default behavior

The feature gate currently falls back to the default behavior in most cases. Enabling the feature gate will add hints to EndpointSlices, but functional differences are only observed in non-dual stack kube-proxy implementation. The fix will be available in coming releases.

Urgent Upgrade Notes

(No, really, you MUST read this before you upgrade)

• Kube-proxy’s IPVS proxy mode no longer sets the net.ipv4.conf.all.route_localnet sysctl parameter. Nodes upgrading will have net.ipv4.conf.all.route_localnet set to 1 but new nodes will inherit the system default (usually 0). If you relied on any behavior requiring net.ipv4.conf.all.route_localnet, you must set ensure it is enabled as kube-proxy will no longer set it automatically. This change helps to further mitigate CVE-2020-8558. (#92938, @lbernail) [SIG Network and Release]
• Kubeadm: during “init” an empty cgroupDriver value in the KubeletConfiguration is now always set to “systemd” unless the user is explicit about it. This requires existing machine setups to configure the container runtime to use the “systemd” driver. Documentation on this topic can be found here: https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/production-environment/container-runtimes/. When upgrading existing clusters / nodes using “kubeadm upgrade” the old cgroupDriver value is preserved, but in 1.22 this change will also apply to “upgrade”. For more information on migrating to the “systemd” driver or remaining on the “cgroupfs” driver see: https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/kubeadm/configure-cgroup-driver/. (#99471, @neolit123) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]
• Newly provisioned PVs by EBS plugin will no longer use the deprecated “failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/zone” and “failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/region” labels. It will use “topology.kubernetes.io/zone” and “topology.kubernetes.io/region” labels instead. (#99130, @ayberk) [SIG Cloud Provider, Storage and Testing]
• Newly provisioned PVs by OpenStack Cinder plugin will no longer use the deprecated “failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/zone” and “failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/region” labels. It will use “topology.kubernetes.io/zone” and “topology.kubernetes.io/region” labels instead. (#99719, @jsafrane) [SIG Cloud Provider and Storage]
• Newly provisioned PVs by gce-pd will no longer have the beta FailureDomain label. gce-pd volume plugin will start to have GA topology label instead. (#98700, @Jiawei0227) [SIG Cloud Provider, Storage and Testing]
• OpenStack Cinder CSI migration is on by default, Clinder CSI driver must be installed on clusters on OpenStack for Cinder volumes to work. (#98538, @dims) [SIG Storage]
• Remove alpha CSIMigrationXXComplete flag and add alpha InTreePluginXXUnregister flag. Deprecate CSIMigrationvSphereComplete flag and it will be removed in v1.22. (#98243, @Jiawei0227)
• Remove storage metrics storage_operation_errors_total, since we already have storage_operation_status_count.And add new field status for storage_operation_duration_seconds, so that we can know about all status storage operation latency. (#98332, @JornShen) [SIG Instrumentation and Storage]
• The metric storage_operation_errors_total is not removed, but is marked deprecated, and the metric storage_operation_status_count is marked deprecated. In both cases the storage_operation_duration_seconds metric can be used to recover equivalent counts (using status=fail-unknown in the case of storage_operations_errors_total). (#99045, @mattcary)
• ServiceNodeExclusion, NodeDisruptionExclusion and LegacyNodeRoleBehavior features have been promoted to GA. ServiceNodeExclusion and NodeDisruptionExclusion are now unconditionally enabled, while LegacyNodeRoleBehavior is unconditionally disabled. To prevent control plane nodes from being added to load balancers automatically, upgrade users need to add “node.kubernetes.io/exclude-from-external-load-balancers” label to control plane nodes. (#97543, @pacoxu)

Changes by Kind

Deprecation

• Aborting the drain command in a list of nodes will be deprecated. The new behavior will make the drain command go through all nodes even if one or more nodes failed during the drain. For now, users can try such experience by enabling —ignore-errors flag. (#98203, @yuzhiquan)

• The export query parameter (inconsistently supported by API resources and deprecated in v1.14) is fully removed. Requests setting this query parameter will now receive a 400 status response. (#98312, @deads2k) [SIG API Machinery, Auth and Testing]

• audit.k8s.io/v1beta1 and audit.k8s.io/v1alpha1 audit policy configuration and audit events are deprecated in favor of audit.k8s.io/v1, available since v1.13. kube-apiserver invocations that specify alpha or beta policy configurations with --audit-policy-file, or explicitly request alpha or beta audit events with --audit-log-version / --audit-webhook-version must update to use audit.k8s.io/v1 and accept audit.k8s.io/v1 events prior to v1.24. (#98858, @carlory) [SIG Auth]

  Support for these deprecations will be available till Kubernetes v1.24. (#98546, @divyenpatel)

API Change

• 1. PodAffinityTerm includes a namespaceSelector field to allow selecting eligible namespaces based on their labels.
  2. A new CrossNamespacePodAffinity quota scope API that allows restricting which namespaces allowed to use PodAffinityTerm with corss-namespace reference via namespaceSelector or namespaces fields. (#98582, @ahg-g) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth and Testing]
• Add Probe-level terminationGracePeriodSeconds field (#99375, @ehashman) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Node and Testing]
• Added .spec.completionMode field to Job, with accepted values NonIndexed (default) and Indexed. This is an alpha field and is only honored by servers with the IndexedJob feature gate enabled. (#98441, @alculquicondor) [SIG Apps and CLI]
• Adds support for endPort field in NetworkPolicy (#97058, @rikatz) [SIG Apps and Network]
• CSIServiceAccountToken graduates to Beta and enabled by default. (#99298, @zshihang)
• Cluster admins can now turn off /debug/pprof and /debug/flags/v endpoint in kubelet by setting enableProfilingHandler and enableDebugFlagsHandler to false in the Kubelet configuration file. Options enableProfilingHandler and enableDebugFlagsHandler can be set to true only when enableDebuggingHandlers is also set to true. (#98458, @SaranBalaji90)
• DaemonSets accept a MaxSurge integer or percent on their rolling update strategy that will launch the updated pod on nodes and wait for those pods to go ready before marking the old out-of-date pods as deleted. This allows workloads to avoid downtime during upgrades when deployed using DaemonSets. This feature is alpha and is behind the DaemonSetUpdateSurge feature gate. (#96441, @smarterclayton) [SIG Apps and Testing]
• Enable SPDY pings to keep connections alive, so that kubectl exec and kubectl portforward won’t be interrupted. (#97083, @knight42) [SIG API Machinery and CLI]
• FieldManager no longer owns fields that get reset before the object is persisted (e.g. “status wiping”). (#99661, @kevindelgado) [SIG API Machinery, Auth and Testing]
• Fixes server-side apply for APIService resources. (#98576, @kevindelgado)
• Generic ephemeral volumes are beta. (#99643, @pohly) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth, CLI, Node, Storage and Testing]
• Hugepages request values are limited to integer multiples of the page size. (#98515, @lala123912) [SIG Apps]
• Implement the GetAvailableResources in the podresources API. (#95734, @fromanirh) [SIG Instrumentation, Node and Testing]
• IngressClass resource can now reference a resource in a specific namespace for implementation-specific configuration (previously only Cluster-level resources were allowed). This feature can be enabled using the IngressClassNamespacedParams feature gate. (#99275, @hbagdi)
• Jobs API has a new .spec.suspend field that can be used to suspend and resume Jobs. This is an alpha field which is only honored by servers with the SuspendJob feature gate enabled. (#98727, @adtac)
• Kubelet Graceful Node Shutdown feature graduates to Beta and enabled by default. (#99735, @bobbypage)
• Kubernetes is now built using go1.15.7 (#98363, @cpanato) [SIG Cloud Provider, Instrumentation, Node, Release and Testing]
• Namespace API objects now have a kubernetes.io/metadata.name label matching their metadata.name field to allow selecting any namespace by its name using a label selector. (#96968, @jayunit100) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Cloud Provider, Storage and Testing]
• One new field “InternalTrafficPolicy” in Service is added. It specifies if the cluster internal traffic should be routed to all endpoints or node-local endpoints only. “Cluster” routes internal traffic to a Service to all endpoints. “Local” routes traffic to node-local endpoints only, and traffic is dropped if no node-local endpoints are ready. The default value is “Cluster”. (#96600, @maplain) [SIG API Machinery, Apps and Network]
• PodDisruptionBudget API objects can now contain conditions in status. (#98127, @mortent) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth, CLI, Cloud Provider, Cluster Lifecycle and Instrumentation]
• PodSecurityPolicy only stores “generic” as allowed volume type if the GenericEphemeralVolume feature gate is enabled (#98918, @pohly) [SIG Auth and Security]
• Promote CronJobs to batch/v1 (#99423, @soltysh) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, CLI and Testing]
• Promote Immutable Secrets/ConfigMaps feature to Stable. This allows to set immutable field in Secret or ConfigMap object to mark their contents as immutable. (#97615, @wojtek-t) [SIG Apps, Architecture, Node and Testing]
• Remove support for building Kubernetes with bazel. (#99561, @BenTheElder) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Architecture, Auth, Autoscaling, CLI, Cloud Provider, Cluster Lifecycle, Instrumentation, Network, Node, Release, Scalability, Scheduling, Storage, Testing and Windows]
• Scheduler extender filter interface now can report unresolvable failed nodes in the new field FailedAndUnresolvableNodes of ExtenderFilterResult struct. Nodes in this map will be skipped in the preemption phase. (#92866, @cofyc) [SIG Scheduling]
• Services can specify loadBalancerClass to use a custom load balancer (#98277, @XudongLiuHarold)
• Storage capacity tracking (= the CSIStorageCapacity feature) graduates to Beta and enabled by default, storage.k8s.io/v1alpha1/VolumeAttachment and storage.k8s.io/v1alpha1/CSIStorageCapacity objects are deprecated (#99641, @pohly)
• Support for Indexed Job: a Job that is considered completed when Pods associated to indexes from 0 to (.spec.completions-1) have succeeded. (#98812, @alculquicondor) [SIG Apps and CLI]
• The BoundServiceAccountTokenVolume feature has been promoted to beta, and enabled by default.
  • This changes the tokens provided to containers at /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/token to be time-limited, auto-refreshed, and invalidated when the containing pod is deleted.
  • Clients should reload the token from disk periodically (once per minute is recommended) to ensure they continue to use a valid token. k8s.io/client-go version v11.0.0+ and v0.15.0+ reload tokens automatically.
  • By default, injected tokens are given an extended lifetime so they remain valid even after a new refreshed token is provided. The metric serviceaccount_stale_tokens_total can be used to monitor for workloads that are depending on the extended lifetime and are continuing to use tokens even after a refreshed token is provided to the container. If that metric indicates no existing workloads are depending on extended lifetimes, injected token lifetime can be shortened to 1 hour by starting kube-apiserver with --service-account-extend-token-expiration=false. (#95667, @zshihang) [SIG API Machinery, Auth, Cluster Lifecycle and Testing]
• The EndpointSlice Controllers are now GA. The EndpointSliceController will not populate the deprecatedTopology field and will only provide topology information through the zone and nodeName fields. (#99870, @swetharepakula)
• The Endpoints controller will now set the endpoints.kubernetes.io/over-capacity annotation to “warning” when an Endpoints resource contains more than 1000 addresses. In a future release, the controller will truncate Endpoints that exceed this limit. The EndpointSlice API can be used to support significantly larger number of addresses. (#99975, @robscott) [SIG Apps and Network]
• The PodDisruptionBudget API has been promoted to policy/v1 with no schema changes. The only functional change is that an empty selector ({}) written to a policy/v1 PodDisruptionBudget now selects all pods in the namespace. The behavior of the policy/v1beta1 API remains unchanged. The policy/v1beta1 PodDisruptionBudget API is deprecated and will no longer be served in 1.25+. (#99290, @mortent) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth, Autoscaling, CLI, Cloud Provider, Cluster Lifecycle, Instrumentation, Scheduling and Testing]
• The EndpointSlice API is now GA. The EndpointSlice topology field has been removed from the GA API and will be replaced by a new per Endpoint Zone field. If the topology field was previously used, it will be converted into an annotation in the v1 Resource. The discovery.k8s.io/v1alpha1 API is removed. (#99662, @swetharepakula)
• The controller.kubernetes.io/pod-deletion-cost annotation can be set to offer a hint on the cost of deleting a Pod compared to other pods belonging to the same ReplicaSet. Pods with lower deletion cost are deleted first. This is an alpha feature. (#99163, @ahg-g)
• The kube-apiserver now resets managedFields that got corrupted by a mutating admission controller. (#98074, @kwiesmueller)
• Topology Aware Hints are now available in alpha and can be enabled with the TopologyAwareHints feature gate. (#99522, @robscott) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth, Instrumentation, Network and Testing]
• Users might specify the kubectl.kubernetes.io/default-exec-container annotation in a Pod to preselect container for kubectl commands. (#97099, @pacoxu) [SIG CLI]

Feature

• A client-go metric, rest_client_exec_plugin_call_total, has been added to track total calls to client-go credential plugins. (#98892, @ankeesler) [SIG API Machinery, Auth, Cluster Lifecycle and Instrumentation]
• A new histogram metric to track the time it took to delete a job by the TTLAfterFinished controller (#98676, @ahg-g)
• AWS cloud provider supports auto-discovering subnets without any kubernetes.io/cluster/<clusterName> tags. It also supports additional service annotation service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-subnets to manually configure the subnets. (#97431, @kishorj)
• Aborting the drain command in a list of nodes will be deprecated. The new behavior will make the drain command go through all nodes even if one or more nodes failed during the drain. For now, users can try such experience by enabling —ignore-errors flag. (#98203, @yuzhiquan)
• Add —permit-address-sharing flag to kube-apiserver to listen with SO_REUSEADDR. While allowing to listen on wildcard IPs like 0.0.0.0 and specific IPs in parallel, it avoids waiting for the kernel to release socket in TIME_WAIT state, and hence, considerably reducing kube-apiserver restart times under certain conditions. (#93861, @sttts)
• Add csi_operations_seconds metric on kubelet that exposes CSI operations duration and status for node CSI operations. (#98979, @Jiawei0227) [SIG Instrumentation and Storage]
• Add migrated field into storage_operation_duration_seconds metric (#99050, @Jiawei0227) [SIG Apps, Instrumentation and Storage]
• Add flag —lease-reuse-duration-seconds for kube-apiserver to config etcd lease reuse duration. (#97009, @lingsamuel) [SIG API Machinery and Scalability]
• Add metric etcd_lease_object_counts for kube-apiserver to observe max objects attached to a single etcd lease. (#97480, @lingsamuel) [SIG API Machinery, Instrumentation and Scalability]
• Add support to generate client-side binaries for new darwin/arm64 platform (#97743, @dims) [SIG Release and Testing]
• Added ephemeral_volume_controller_create[_failures]_total counters to kube-controller-manager metrics (#99115, @pohly) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Cluster Lifecycle, Instrumentation and Storage]
• Added support for installing arm64 node artifacts. (#99242, @liu-cong)
• Adds alpha feature VolumeCapacityPriority which makes the scheduler prioritize nodes based on the best matching size of statically provisioned PVs across multiple topologies. (#96347, @cofyc) [SIG Apps, Network, Scheduling, Storage and Testing]
• Adds the ability to pass —strict-transport-security-directives to the kube-apiserver to set the HSTS header appropriately. Be sure you understand the consequences to browsers before setting this field. (#96502, @249043822) [SIG Auth]
• Adds two new metrics to cronjobs, a histogram to track the time difference when a job is created and the expected time when it should be created, as well as a gauge for the missed schedules of a cronjob (#99341, @alaypatel07)
• Alpha implementation of Kubectl Command Headers: SIG CLI KEP 859 enabled when KUBECTL_COMMAND_HEADERS environment variable set on the client command line. (#98952, @seans3)

    • Uses debian-base:buster-v1.3.0 (#98401, @pacoxu) [SIG Testing]
• CRIContainerLogRotation graduates to GA and unconditionally enabled. (#99651, @umohnani8)
• Component owner can configure the allowlist of metric label with flag ‘—allow-metric-labels’. (#99385, @YoyinZyc) [SIG API Machinery, CLI, Cloud Provider, Cluster Lifecycle, Instrumentation and Release]
• Component owner can configure the allowlist of metric label with flag ‘—allow-metric-labels’. (#99738, @YoyinZyc) [SIG API Machinery, Cluster Lifecycle and Instrumentation]
• EmptyDir memory backed volumes are sized as the the minimum of pod allocatable memory on a host and an optional explicit user provided value. (#100319, @derekwaynecarr) [SIG Node]
• Enables Kubelet to check volume condition and log events to corresponding pods. (#99284, @fengzixu) [SIG Apps, Instrumentation, Node and Storage]
• EndpointSliceNodeName graduates to GA and thus will be unconditionally enabled — NodeName will always be available in the v1beta1 API. (#99746, @swetharepakula)
• Export NewDebuggingRoundTripper function and DebugLevel options in the k8s.io/client-go/transport package. (#98324, @atosatto)
• Kube-proxy iptables: new metric sync_proxy_rules_iptables_total that exposes the number of rules programmed per table in each iteration (#99653, @aojea) [SIG Instrumentation and Network]
• Kube-scheduler now logs plugin scoring summaries at —v=4 (#99411, @damemi) [SIG Scheduling]

• Kubeadm: a warning to user as ipv6 site-local is deprecated (#99574, @pacoxu) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle and Network]
• Kubeadm: add support for certificate chain validation. When using kubeadm in external CA mode, this allows an intermediate CA to be used to sign the certificates. The intermediate CA certificate must be appended to each signed certificate for this to work correctly. (#97266, @robbiemcmichael) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]
• Kubeadm: amend the node kernel validation to treat CGROUP_PIDS, FAIR_GROUP_SCHED as required and CFS_BANDWIDTH, CGROUP_HUGETLB as optional (#96378, @neolit123) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle and Node]
• Kubeadm: apply the “node.kubernetes.io/exclude-from-external-load-balancers” label on control plane nodes during “init”, “join” and “upgrade” to preserve backwards compatibility with the lagacy LB mode where nodes labeled as “master” where excluded. To opt-out you can remove the label from a node. See #97543 and the linked KEP for more details. (#98269, @neolit123) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]
• Kubeadm: if the user has customized their image repository via the kubeadm configuration, pass the custom pause image repository and tag to the kubelet via —pod-infra-container-image not only for Docker but for all container runtimes. This flag tells the kubelet that it should not garbage collect the image. (#99476, @neolit123) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]
• Kubeadm: perform pre-flight validation on host/node name upon kubeadm init and kubeadm join, showing warnings on non-compliant names (#99194, @pacoxu)
• Kubectl version changed to write a warning message to stderr if the client and server version difference exceeds the supported version skew of +/-1 minor version. (#98250, @brianpursley) [SIG CLI]
• Kubectl: Add --use-protocol-buffers flag to kubectl top pods and nodes. (#96655, @serathius)

• Kubernetes is now built with Golang 1.16.1 (#100106, @justaugustus) [SIG Cloud Provider, Instrumentation, Release and Testing]
• Metrics can now be disabled explicitly via a command line flag (i.e. ‘—disabled-metrics=metric1,metric2’) (#99217, @logicalhan)
• New admission controller DenyServiceExternalIPs is available. Clusters which do not need the Service externalIPs feature should enable this controller and be more secure. (#97395, @thockin)
• Overall, enable the feature of PreferNominatedNode will improve the performance of scheduling where preemption might frequently happen, but in theory, enable the feature of PreferNominatedNode, the pod might not be scheduled to the best candidate node in the cluster. (#93179, @chendave) [SIG Scheduling and Testing]
• Persistent Volumes formatted with the btrfs filesystem will now automatically resize when expanded. (#99361, @Novex) [SIG Storage]
• Port the devicemanager to Windows node to allow device plugins like directx (#93285, @aarnaud) [SIG Node, Testing and Windows]
• Removes cAdvisor JSON metrics (/stats/container, /stats//, /stats////) from the kubelet. (#99236, @pacoxu)

• The EndpointSlice mirroring controller mirrors endpoints annotations and labels to the generated endpoint slices, it also ensures that updates on any of these fields are mirrored. The well-known annotation endpoints.kubernetes.io/last-change-trigger-time is skipped and not mirrored. (#98116, @aojea)
• The RunAsGroup feature has been promoted to GA in this release. (#94641, @krmayankk) [SIG Auth and Node]

• kubectl wait ensures that observedGeneration >= generation to prevent stale state reporting. An example scenario can be found on CRD updates. (#97408, @KnicKnic)

Documentation

• Azure file migration graduates to beta, with CSIMigrationAzureFile flag off by default as it requires installation of AzureFile CSI Driver. Users should enable CSIMigration and CSIMigrationAzureFile features and install the AzureFile CSI Driver to avoid disruption to existing Pod and PVC objects at that time. Azure File CSI driver does not support using same persistent volume with different fsgroups. When CSI migration is enabled for azurefile driver, such case is not supported. (there is a case we support where volume is mounted with 0777 and then it readable/writable by everyone) (#96293, @andyzhangx)

Urgent Upgrade Notes

(No, really, you MUST read this before you upgrade)

• Migrated pkg/kubelet/cm/cpuset/cpuset.go to structured logging. Exit code changed from 255 to 1. (#100007, @utsavoza) [SIG Instrumentation and Node]

Changes by Kind

API Change

• Add Probe-level terminationGracePeriodSeconds field (#99375, @ehashman) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Node and Testing]
• CSIServiceAccountToken is Beta now (#99298, @zshihang) [SIG Auth, Storage and Testing]
• Discovery.k8s.io/v1beta1 EndpointSlices are deprecated in favor of discovery.k8s.io/v1, and will no longer be served in Kubernetes v1.25. (#100472, @liggitt) [SIG Network]
• FieldManager no longer owns fields that get reset before the object is persisted (e.g. “status wiping”). (#99661, @kevindelgado) [SIG API Machinery, Auth and Testing]
• Generic ephemeral volumes are beta. (#99643, @pohly) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth, CLI, Node, Storage and Testing]
• Implement the GetAvailableResources in the podresources API. (#95734, @fromanirh) [SIG Instrumentation, Node and Testing]
• The Endpoints controller will now set the endpoints.kubernetes.io/over-capacity annotation to “warning” when an Endpoints resource contains more than 1000 addresses. In a future release, the controller will truncate Endpoints that exceed this limit. The EndpointSlice API can be used to support significantly larger number of addresses. (#99975, @robscott) [SIG Apps and Network]
• The PodDisruptionBudget API has been promoted to policy/v1 with no schema changes. The only functional change is that an empty selector ({}) written to a policy/v1 PodDisruptionBudget now selects all pods in the namespace. The behavior of the policy/v1beta1 API remains unchanged. The policy/v1beta1 PodDisruptionBudget API is deprecated and will no longer be served in 1.25+. (#99290, @mortent) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth, Autoscaling, CLI, Cloud Provider, Cluster Lifecycle, Instrumentation, Scheduling and Testing]
• Topology Aware Hints are now available in alpha and can be enabled with the TopologyAwareHints feature gate. (#99522, @robscott) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth, Instrumentation, Network and Testing]

Feature

• Add e2e test to validate performance metrics of volume lifecycle operations (#94334, @RaunakShah) [SIG Storage and Testing]

• Migrated pkg/kubelet/cm/topologymanager to structure logging (#99969, @knabben) [SIG Instrumentation and Node]
• Rename metrics etcd_object_counts to apiserver_storage_object_counts and mark it as stable. The original etcd_object_counts metrics name is marked as “Deprecated” and will be removed in the future. (#99785, @erain) [SIG API Machinery, Instrumentation and Testing]
• Update pause container to run as pseudo user and group 65535:65535. This implies the release of version 3.5 of the container images. (#97963, @saschagrunert) [SIG CLI, Cloud Provider, Cluster Lifecycle, Node, Release, Security and Testing]
• Users might specify the kubectl.kubernetes.io/default-exec-container annotation in a Pod to preselect container for kubectl commands. (#99833, @mengjiao-liu) [SIG CLI]

• Improve speed of vSphere PV provisioning and reduce number of API calls (#100054, @gnufied) [SIG Cloud Provider and Storage]
• Kubectl: Fixed panic when describing an ingress backend without an API Group (#100505, @lauchokyip) [SIG CLI]
• Kubectl: fix case of age column in describe node (#96963, @bl-ue) (#96963, @bl-ue) [SIG CLI]
• Kubelet.exe on Windows now checks that the process running as administrator and the executing user account is listed in the built-in administrators group. This is the equivalent to checking the process is running as uid 0. (#96616, @perithompson) [SIG Node and Windows]
• Kubelet: Fixed the bug of getting the number of cpu when the number of cpu logical processors is more than 64 in windows (#97378, @hwdef) [SIG Node and Windows]

Urgent Upgrade Notes

(No, really, you MUST read this before you upgrade)

• Kubeadm: during “init” an empty cgroupDriver value in the KubeletConfiguration is now always set to “systemd” unless the user is explicit about it. This requires existing machine setups to configure the container runtime to use the “systemd” driver. Documentation on this topic can be found here: https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/production-environment/container-runtimes/. When upgrading existing clusters / nodes using “kubeadm upgrade” the old cgroupDriver value is preserved, but in 1.22 this change will also apply to “upgrade”. For more information on migrating to the “systemd” driver or remaining on the “cgroupfs” driver see: https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/kubeadm/configure-cgroup-driver/. (#99471, @neolit123) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]
• Migrate pkg/kubelet/(dockershim, network) to structured logging Exit code changed from 255 to 1 (#98939, @yangjunmyfm192085) [SIG Network and Node]
• Migrate pkg/kubelet/certificate to structured logging Exit code changed from 255 to 1 (#98993, @SataQiu) [SIG Auth and Node]
• Newly provisioned PVs by EBS plugin will no longer use the deprecated “failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/zone” and “failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/region” labels. It will use “topology.kubernetes.io/zone” and “topology.kubernetes.io/region” labels instead. (#99130, @ayberk) [SIG Cloud Provider, Storage and Testing]
• Newly provisioned PVs by OpenStack Cinder plugin will no longer use the deprecated “failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/zone” and “failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/region” labels. It will use “topology.kubernetes.io/zone” and “topology.kubernetes.io/region” labels instead. (#99719, @jsafrane) [SIG Cloud Provider and Storage]
• OpenStack Cinder CSI migration is on by default, Clinder CSI driver must be installed on clusters on OpenStack for Cinder volumes to work. (#98538, @dims) [SIG Storage]
• Package pkg/kubelet/server migrated to structured logging Exit code changed from 255 to 1 (#99838, @adisky) [SIG Node]
• Pkg/kubelet/kuberuntime/kuberuntime_manager.go migrated to structured logging Exit code changed from 255 to 1 (#99841, @adisky) [SIG Instrumentation and Node]

Changes by Kind

Deprecation

• Kubeadm: the deprecated kube-dns is no longer supported as an option. If “ClusterConfiguration.dns.type” is set to “kube-dns” kubeadm will now throw an error. (#99646, @rajansandeep) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

• Remove deprecated —generator —replicas —service-generator —service-overrides —schedule from kubectl run Deprecate —serviceaccount —hostport —requests —limits in kubectl run (#99732, @soltysh) [SIG CLI and Testing]

• audit.k8s.io/v1beta1 and audit.k8s.io/v1alpha1 audit policy configuration and audit events are deprecated in favor of audit.k8s.io/v1, available since v1.13. kube-apiserver invocations that specify alpha or beta policy configurations with --audit-policy-file, or explicitly request alpha or beta audit events with --audit-log-version / --audit-webhook-version must update to use audit.k8s.io/v1 and accept audit.k8s.io/v1 events prior to v1.24. (#98858, @carlory) [SIG Auth]

• diskformat stroage class parameter for in-tree vSphere volume plugin is deprecated as of v1.21 release. Please consider updating storageclass and remove diskformat parameter. vSphere CSI Driver does not support diskformat storageclass parameter.

  vSphere releases less than 67u3 are deprecated as of v1.21. Please consider upgrading vSphere to 67u3 or above. vSphere CSI Driver requires minimum vSphere 67u3.

  VM Hardware version less than 15 is deprecated as of v1.21. Please consider upgrading the Node VM Hardware version to 15 or above. vSphere CSI Driver recommends Node VM’s Hardware version set to at least vmx-15.

  Multi vCenter support is deprecated as of v1.21. If you have a Kubernetes cluster spanning across multiple vCenter servers, please consider moving all k8s nodes to a single vCenter Server. vSphere CSI Driver does not support Kubernetes deployment spanning across multiple vCenter servers.

  Support for these deprecations will be available till Kubernetes v1.24. (#98546, @divyenpatel) [SIG Cloud Provider and Storage]

API Change

• 1. PodAffinityTerm includes a namespaceSelector field to allow selecting eligible namespaces based on their labels.
  2. A new CrossNamespacePodAffinity quota scope API that allows restricting which namespaces allowed to use PodAffinityTerm with corss-namespace reference via namespaceSelector or namespaces fields. (#98582, @ahg-g) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth and Testing]
• Add a default metadata name labels for selecting any namespace by its name. (#96968, @jayunit100) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Cloud Provider, Storage and Testing]
• Added .spec.completionMode field to Job, with accepted values NonIndexed (default) and Indexed (#98441, @alculquicondor) [SIG Apps and CLI]
• Clarified NetworkPolicy policyTypes documentation (#97216, @joejulian) [SIG Network]
• DaemonSets accept a MaxSurge integer or percent on their rolling update strategy that will launch the updated pod on nodes and wait for those pods to go ready before marking the old out-of-date pods as deleted. This allows workloads to avoid downtime during upgrades when deployed using DaemonSets. This feature is alpha and is behind the DaemonSetUpdateSurge feature gate. (#96441, @smarterclayton) [SIG Apps and Testing]
• EndpointSlice API is now GA. The EndpointSlice topology field has been removed from the GA API and will be replaced by a new per Endpoint Zone field. If the topology field was previously used, it will be converted into an annotation in the v1 Resource. The discovery.k8s.io/v1alpha1 API is removed. (#99662, @swetharepakula) [SIG API Machinery, CLI, Cloud Provider, Cluster Lifecycle, Instrumentation, Network and Testing]

• One new field “InternalTrafficPolicy” in Service is added. It specifies if the cluster internal traffic should be routed to all endpoints or node-local endpoints only. “Cluster” routes internal traffic to a Service to all endpoints. “Local” routes traffic to node-local endpoints only, and traffic is dropped if no node-local endpoints are ready. The default value is “Cluster”. (#96600, @maplain) [SIG API Machinery, Apps and Network]

• Kube-scheduler now logs plugin scoring summaries at —v=4 (#99411, @damemi) [SIG Scheduling]
• Kubeadm: a warning to user as ipv6 site-local is deprecated (#99574, @pacoxu) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle and Network]
• Kubeadm: apply the “node.kubernetes.io/exclude-from-external-load-balancers” label on control plane nodes during “init”, “join” and “upgrade” to preserve backwards compatibility with the lagacy LB mode where nodes labeled as “master” where excluded. To opt-out you can remove the label from a node. See #97543 and the linked KEP for more details. (#98269, @neolit123) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]
• Kubeadm: if the user has customized their image repository via the kubeadm configuration, pass the custom pause image repository and tag to the kubelet via —pod-infra-container-image not only for Docker but for all container runtimes. This flag tells the kubelet that it should not garbage collect the image. (#99476, @neolit123) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]
• Kubeadm: promote IPv6DualStack feature gate to Beta (#99294, @pacoxu) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]
• Kubectl version changed to write a warning message to stderr if the client and server version difference exceeds the supported version skew of +/-1 minor version. (#98250, @brianpursley) [SIG CLI]

• When downscaling ReplicaSets, ready and creation timestamps are compared in a logarithmic scale. (#99212, @damemi) [SIG Apps and Testing]
• When the kubelet is watching a ConfigMap or Secret purely in the context of setting environment variables for containers, only hold that watch for a defined duration before cancelling it. This change reduces the CPU and memory usage of the kube-apiserver in large clusters. (#99393, @chenyw1990) [SIG API Machinery, Node and Testing]
• WindowsEndpointSliceProxying feature gate has graduated to beta and is enabled by default. This means kube-proxy will read from EndpointSlices instead of Endpoints on Windows by default. (#99794, @robscott) [SIG Network]

Bug or Regression

• Improved update time of pod statuses following new probe results. (#98376, @matthyx) [SIG Node and Testing]
• Kube-apiserver: an update of a pod with a generic ephemeral volume dropped that volume if the feature had been disabled since creating the pod with such a volume (#99446, @pohly) [SIG Apps, Node and Storage]
• Kubeadm: skip validating pod subnet against node-cidr-mask when allocate-node-cidrs is set to be false (#98984, @SataQiu) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]
• On single-stack configured (IPv4 or IPv6, but not both) clusters, Services which are both headless (no clusterIP) and selectorless (empty or undefined selector) will report ipFamilyPolicy RequireDualStack and will have entries in ipFamilies[] for both IPv4 and IPv6. This is a change from alpha, but does not have any impact on the manually-specified Endpoints and EndpointSlices for the Service. (#99555, @thockin) [SIG Apps and Network]
• Resolves spurious Failed to list *v1.Secret or Failed to list *v1.ConfigMap messages in kubelet logs. (#99538, @liggitt) [SIG Auth and Node]
• Return zero time (midnight on Jan. 1, 1970) instead of negative number when reporting startedAt and finishedAt of the not started or a running Pod when using dockershim as a runtime. (#99585, @Iceber) [SIG Node]
• Stdin is now only passed to client-go exec credential plugins when it is detected to be an interactive terminal. Previously, it was passed to client-go exec plugins when *stdout- was detected to be an interactive terminal. (#99654, @ankeesler) [SIG API Machinery and Auth]
• The maximum number of ports allowed in EndpointSlices has been increased from 100 to 20,000 (#99795, @robscott) [SIG Network]

  • [v4.0.5]: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kustomize/releases/tag/kustomize%2Fv4.0.5 (#98946, @monopole) [SIG API Machinery, Architecture, CLI, Cloud Provider, Cluster Lifecycle, Instrumentation, Node and Storage]
• When a CNI plugin returns dual-stack pod IPs, kubelet will now try to respect the “primary IP family” of the cluster by picking a primary pod IP of the same family as the (primary) node IP, rather than assuming that the CNI plugin returned the IPs in the order the administrator wanted (since some CNI plugins don’t allow configuring this). (#97979, @danwinship) [SIG Network and Node]
• When using Containerd on Windows, the “C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts” file will now be managed by kubelet. (#83730, @claudiubelu) [SIG Node and Windows]
• VolumeBindingArgs now allow BindTimeoutSeconds to be set as zero, while the value zero indicates no waiting for the checking of volume binding operation. (#99835, @chendave) [SIG Scheduling and Storage]
• kubectl exec and kubectl attach now honor the --quiet flag which suppresses output from the local binary that could be confused by a script with the remote command output (all non-failure output is hidden). In addition, print inline with exec and attach the list of alternate containers when we default to the first spec.container. (#99004, @smarterclayton) [SIG CLI]

Other (Cleanup or Flake)

• Apiserver_request_duration_seconds is promoted to stable status. (#99925, @logicalhan) [SIG API Machinery, Instrumentation and Testing]
• Apiserver_request_total is promoted to stable status and no longer has a content-type dimensions, so any alerts/charts which presume the existence of this will fail. This is however, unlikely to be the case since it was effectively an unbounded dimension in the first place. (#99788, @logicalhan) [SIG API Machinery, Instrumentation and Testing]

Urgent Upgrade Notes

(No, really, you MUST read this before you upgrade)

• The metric storage_operation_errors_total is not removed, but is marked deprecated, and the metric storage_operation_status_count is marked deprecated. In both cases the storage_operation_duration_seconds metric can be used to recover equivalent counts (using status=fail-unknown in the case of storage_operations_errors_total). (#99045, @mattcary) [SIG Instrumentation and Storage]

Changes by Kind

Deprecation

• The batch/v2alpha1 CronJob type definitions and clients are deprecated and removed. (#96987, @soltysh) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, CLI and Testing]

API Change

• Cluster admins can now turn off /debug/pprof and /debug/flags/v endpoint in kubelet by setting enableProfilingHandler and enableDebugFlagsHandler to false in their kubelet configuration file. enableProfilingHandler and enableDebugFlagsHandler can be set to true only when enableDebuggingHandlers is also set to true. (#98458, @SaranBalaji90) [SIG Node]
• The BoundServiceAccountTokenVolume feature has been promoted to beta, and enabled by default.
  • This changes the tokens provided to containers at /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/token to be time-limited, auto-refreshed, and invalidated when the containing pod is deleted.
  • Clients should reload the token from disk periodically (once per minute is recommended) to ensure they continue to use a valid token. k8s.io/client-go version v11.0.0+ and v0.15.0+ reload tokens automatically.
  • By default, injected tokens are given an extended lifetime so they remain valid even after a new refreshed token is provided. The metric serviceaccount_stale_tokens_total can be used to monitor for workloads that are depending on the extended lifetime and are continuing to use tokens even after a refreshed token is provided to the container. If that metric indicates no existing workloads are depending on extended lifetimes, injected token lifetime can be shortened to 1 hour by starting kube-apiserver with --service-account-extend-token-expiration=false. (#95667, @zshihang) [SIG API Machinery, Auth, Cluster Lifecycle and Testing]

Feature

• A new histogram metric to track the time it took to delete a job by the ttl-after-finished controller (#98676, @ahg-g) [SIG Apps and Instrumentation]
• AWS cloudprovider supports auto-discovering subnets without any kubernetes.io/cluster/ tags. It also supports additional service annotation service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-subnets to manually configure the subnets. (#97431, @kishorj) [SIG Cloud Provider]
• Add —permit-address-sharing flag to kube-apiserver to listen with SO_REUSEADDR. While allowing to listen on wildcard IPs like 0.0.0.0 and specific IPs in parallel, it avoid waiting for the kernel to release socket in TIME_WAIT state, and hence, considably reducing kube-apiserver restart times under certain conditions. (#93861, @sttts) [SIG API Machinery]
• Add csi_operations_seconds metric on kubelet that exposes CSI operations duration and status for node CSI operations. (#98979, @Jiawei0227) [SIG Instrumentation and Storage]

• Kubectl: kubectl get will omit managed fields by default now. Users could set --show-managed-fields to true to show managedFields when the output format is either json or yaml. (#96878, @knight42) [SIG CLI and Testing]
• Metrics can now be disabled explicitly via a command line flag (i.e. ‘—disabled-metrics=bad_metric1,bad_metric2’) (#99217, @logicalhan) [SIG API Machinery, Cluster Lifecycle and Instrumentation]
• TTLAfterFinished is now beta and enabled by default (#98678, @ahg-g) [SIG Apps and Auth]

• Feat: azure file migration go beta in 1.21. Feature gates CSIMigration to Beta (on by default) and CSIMigrationAzureFile to Beta (off by default since it requires installation of the AzureFile CSI Driver) The in-tree AzureFile plugin “kubernetes.io/azure-file” is now deprecated and will be removed in 1.23. Users should enable CSIMigration + CSIMigrationAzureFile features and install the AzureFile CSI Driver (https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/azurefile-csi-driver) to avoid disruption to existing Pod and PVC objects at that time. Users should start using the AzureFile CSI Driver directly for any new volumes. (#96293, @andyzhangx) [SIG Cloud Provider]

Failing Test

Urgent Upgrade Notes

(No, really, you MUST read this before you upgrade)

• Kube-proxy’s IPVS proxy mode no longer sets the net.ipv4.conf.all.route_localnet sysctl parameter. Nodes upgrading will have net.ipv4.conf.all.route_localnet set to 1 but new nodes will inherit the system default (usually 0). If you relied on any behavior requiring net.ipv4.conf.all.route_localnet, you must set ensure it is enabled as kube-proxy will no longer set it automatically. This change helps to further mitigate CVE-2020-8558. (#92938, @lbernail) [SIG Network and Release]

Changes by Kind

Deprecation

• Deprecate the topologyKeys field in Service. This capability will be replaced with upcoming work around Topology Aware Subsetting and Service Internal Traffic Policy. (#96736, @andrewsykim) [SIG Apps]

• The PodSecurityPolicy API is deprecated in 1.21, and will no longer be served starting in 1.25. (#97171, @deads2k) [SIG Auth and CLI]

API Change

• Change the APIVersion proto name of BoundObjectRef from aPIVersion to apiVersion. (#97379, @kebe7jun) [SIG Auth]
• Promote Immutable Secrets/ConfigMaps feature to Stable. This allows to set Immutable field in Secrets or ConfigMap object to mark their contents as immutable. (#97615, @wojtek-t) [SIG Apps, Architecture, Node and Testing]

Feature

• Kubeadm now includes CoreDNS v1.8.0. (#96429, @rajansandeep) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]
• Kubeadm: add support for certificate chain validation. When using kubeadm in external CA mode, this allows an intermediate CA to be used to sign the certificates. The intermediate CA certificate must be appended to each signed certificate for this to work correctly. (#97266, @robbiemcmichael) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]
• Kubeadm: amend the node kernel validation to treat CGROUP_PIDS, FAIR_GROUP_SCHED as required and CFS_BANDWIDTH, CGROUP_HUGETLB as optional (#96378, @neolit123) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle and Node]
• The Kubernetes pause image manifest list now contains an image for Windows Server 20H2. (#97322, @claudiubelu) [SIG Windows]
• The apimachinery util/net function used to detect the bind address ResolveBindAddress() takes into consideration global ip addresses on loopback interfaces when: - the host has default routes - there are no global IPs on those interfaces. in order to support more complex network scenarios like BGP Unnumbered RFC 5549 (#95790, @aojea) [SIG Network]
