Changelog since v1.9.8

Action Required

  • ACTION REQUIRED: Kubernetes JSON deserializer is now case-sensitive to restore compatibility with pre-1.8 servers. If your config files contains fields with wrong case, the config files will be now invalid. (#65298, @nikhita)
  • A cluster-autoscaler ClusterRole is added to cover only the functionality required by Cluster Autoscaler and avoid abusing system:cluster-admin role. (#64503, @kgolab)
    • action required: Cloud providers other than GCE might want to update their deployments or sample yaml files to reuse the role created via add-on.

Other notable changes

  • kubelet: fix hangs in updating Node status after network interruptions/changes between the kubelet and API server (#63492, @liggitt)
  • fix mount unmount failure for a Windows pod (#63272, @andyzhangx)

    • Fix NVML initialization race condition
    • Fix brtfs disk metrics when using a subdirectory of a subvolume
  • Bump version of prometheus-to-sd to 0.2.6 to decrease log noise and include latest security patches. (#64964, @loburm)
  • fixes a memory leak in the kube-controller-manager observed when large numbers of pods with tolerations are created/deleted (#65339, @liggitt)
  • Fix kube-controller-manager panic while provisioning Azure security group rules (#64739, @feiskyer)
  • Fixes issue for readOnly subpath mounts for SELinux systems and when the volume mountPath already existed in the container image. (#64351, @msau42)
  • removed unsafe double RLock in cpumanager (#62464, @choury)
  • Fix container StartTime in the kubelet's stats/summary endpoint (#64229, @dashpole)

  • Fix incorrectly propagated ResourceVersion in ListRequests returning 0 items. (#64150, @wojtek-t)
  • GCE: Fix to make the built-in kubernetes service properly point to the master's load balancer address in clusters that use multiple master VMs. (#63696, @grosskur)
  • Add a way to pass extra arguments to etcd. (#63961, @mborsz)

Changelog since v1.9.7

Other notable changes

  • Fix a bug in scheduler cache by using Pod UID as the cache key instead of namespace/name (#61069, @anfernee)
  • Fix in vSphere Cloud Provider to handle upgrades from kubernetes version less than v1.9.4 to v1.9.4 and above. (#62919, @abrarshivani)
  • Fixes issue where subpath readOnly mounts failed (#63045, @msau42)
  • Fix in vSphere Cloud Provider to report disk is detach when VM is not found. (#62220, @abrarshivani)
  • corrects a race condition in bootstrapping aggregated cluster roles in new HA clusters (#63761, @liggitt)
  • Add MAX_PODS_PER_NODE env so that GCE/GKE user can use it to specify the default max pods per node for the cluster. IP_ALIAS_SIZE will be changed accordingly. Must have ip alias enabled. (#63451, @grayluck)
  • Fix user visible files creation for windows (#62375, @feiskyer)
  • Add ipset and udevadm to the hyperkube base image. (#61357, @rphillips)
  • Fixes bugs that make apiserver panic when aggregating valid but not well formed OpenAPI spec (#63626, @roycaihw)
  • Kubernetes version command line parameter in kubeadm has been updated to drop an unnecessary redirection from ci/latest.txt to ci-cross/latest.txt. Users should know exactly where the builds are stored on Google Cloud storage buckets from now on. For example for 1.9 and 1.10, users can specify ci/latest-1.9 and ci/latest-1.10 as the CI build jobs what build images correctly updates those. The CI jobs for master update the ci-cross/latest location, so if you are looking for latest master builds, then the correct parameter to use would be ci-cross/latest. (#63504, @dims)
  • Fix issue where on re-registration of device plugin, allocatable was not getting updated. This issue makes devices invisible to the Kubelet if device plugin restarts. Only work-around, if this fix is not there, is to restart the kubelet and then start device plugin. (#63118, @vikaschoudhary16)
  • GCE: Fix for internal load balancer management resulting in backend services with outdated instance group links. (#62887, @nicksardo)
  • Bugfix allowing use of IP-aliases with custom-mode network in GCE setup scripts. (#62172, @shyamjvs)

Changelog since v1.9.2

Action Required

  • Bug fix: webhooks now do not skip cluster-scoped resources (#58185, @caesarxuchao)
    • Action required: Before upgrading your Kubernetes clusters, double check if you had configured webhooks for cluster-scoped objects (e.g., nodes, persistentVolume), these webhooks will start to take effect. Delete/modify the configs if that's not desirable.

Other notable changes

  • CustomResourceDefinitions: OpenAPI v3 validation schemas containing $refreferences are no longer permitted (valid references could not be constructed previously because property ids were not permitted either). Before upgrading, ensure CRD definitions do not include those $ref fields. (#58438, @carlory)
  • Ensure IP is set for Azure internal load balancer. (#59083, @feiskyer)
  • Configurable etcd quota backend bytes in GCE (#59259, @wojtek-t)
  • Updates Calico version to v2.6.7 (Fixed a bug where Felix would crash when parsing a NetworkPolicy with a named port. See https://github.com/projectcalico/calico/releases/tag/v2.6.7) (#59130, @caseydavenport)
  • Cluster Autoscaler 1.1.1 (details: https://github.com/kubernetes/autoscaler/releases/tag/cluster-autoscaler-1.1.1) (#59272, @mwielgus)
  • cloudprovider/openstack: fix bug the tries to use octavia client to query flip (#59075, @jrperritt)
  • Fixed a bug which caused the apiserver reboot failure in the presence of malfunctioning webhooks. (#59073, @caesarxuchao)
  • Configurable etcd compaction frequency in GCE (#59106, @wojtek-t)
  • Prevent kubelet from getting wedged if initialization of modules returns an error. (#59020, @brendandburns)
  • [GCE] Apiserver uses InternalIP as the most preferred kubelet address type by default. (#59019, @MrHohn)
  • Expose Metrics Server metrics via /metric endpoint. (#57456, @kawych)
  • Get windows kernel version directly from registry (#58498, @feiskyer)
  • Fixes a bug where kubelet crashes trying to free memory under memory pressure (#58574, @yastij)
  • Updated priority of mirror pod according to PriorityClassName. (#58485, @k82cn)
  • Access to externally managed IP addresses via the kube-apiserver service proxy subresource is no longer allowed by default. This can be re-enabled via the ServiceProxyAllowExternalIPs feature gate, but will be disallowed completely in 1.11 (#57265, @brendandburns)
  • Detach and clear bad disk URI (#58345, @rootfs)
  • Add apiserver metric for number of requests dropped because of inflight limit. (#58340, @gmarek)
  • Add apiserver metric for current inflight-request usage. (#58342, @gmarek)
  • kube-apiserver is changed to use SSH tunnels for webhook iff the webhook is not directly routable from apiserver's network environment. (#58644, @yguo0905)
  • Update Calico version to v2.6.6 (#58482, @tmjd)
  • Fix garbage collection and resource quota when the controller-manager uses --leader-elect=false (#57340, @jmcmeek)
  • kube-apiserver: fixes loading of --admission-control-config-file containing AdmissionConfiguration apiserver.k8s.io/v1alpha1 config object (#58441, @liggitt)
  • Fix a bug affecting nested data volumes such as secret, configmap, etc. (#57422, @joelsmith)
  • Reduce Metrics Server memory requirement (#58391, @kawych)
  • GCP: allow a master to not include a metadata concealment firewall rule (if it's not running the metadata proxy). (#58104, @ihmccreery)
  • Bump GCE metadata proxy to v0.1.9 to pick up security fixes. (#58221, @ihmccreery)
  • Fixes an issue where the resourceVersion of an object in a DELETE watch event was not the resourceVersion of the delete itself, but of the last update to the object. This could disrupt the ability of clients clients to re-establish watches properly. (#58547, @liggitt)
  • Fixed encryption key and encryption provider rotation (#58375, @liggitt)
  • Correctly handle transient connection reset errors on GET requests from client library. (#58520, @porridge)
  • Avoid controller-manager to crash when enabling IP alias for K8s cluster. (#58557, @jingax10)

1.9 Release Notes

WARNING: etcd backup strongly recommended

Before updating to 1.9, you are strongly recommended to back up your etcd data. Consult the installation procedure you are using (kargo, kops, kube-up, kube-aws, kubeadm etc) for specific advice.

Some upgrade methods might upgrade etcd from 3.0 to 3.1 automatically when you upgrade from Kubernetes 1.8, unless you specify otherwise. Because etcd does not support downgrading, you'll need to either remain on etcd 3.1 or restore from a backup if you want to downgrade back to Kubernetes 1.8.

Introduction to 1.9.0

Kubernetes version 1.9 includes new features and enhancements, as well as fixes to identified issues. The release notes contain a brief overview of the important changes introduced in this release. The content is organized by Special Interest Group (SIG).

For initial installations, see the Setup topics in the Kubernetes documentation.

To upgrade to this release from a previous version, first take any actions required Before Upgrading.

For more information about this release and for the latest documentation, see the Kubernetes documentation.

Major themes

Kubernetes is developed by community members whose work is organized into Special Interest Groups, which provide the themes that guide their work. For the 1.9 release, these themes included:

API Machinery

Extensibility. SIG API Machinery added a new class of admission control webhooks (mutating), and brought the admission control webhooks to beta.

Apps

The core workloads API, which is composed of the DaemonSet, Deployment, ReplicaSet, and StatefulSet kinds, has been promoted to GA stability in the apps/v1 group version. As such, the apps/v1beta2 group version is deprecated, and all new code should use the kinds in the apps/v1 group version.

Auth

SIG Auth focused on extension-related authorization improvements. Permissions can now be added to the built-in RBAC admin/edit/view roles using cluster role aggregation. Webhook authorizers can now deny requests and short-circuit checking subsequent authorizers. Performance and usability of the beta PodSecurityPolicy feature was also improved.

AWS

In v1.9 SIG AWS has improved stability of EBS support across the board. If a Volume is “stuck” in the attaching state to a node for too long a unschedulable taint will be applied to the node, so a Kubernetes admin can take manual steps to correct the error. Users are encouraged to ensure they are monitoring for the taint, and should consider automatically terminating instances in this state.

In addition, support for NVMe disks has been added to Kubernetes, and a service of type LoadBalancer can now be backed with an NLB instead of an ELB (alpha).

Azure

SIG Azure worked on improvements in the cloud provider, including significant work on the Azure Load Balancer implementation.

Cluster Lifecycle

SIG Cluster Lifecycle has been focusing on improving kubeadm in order to bring it to GA in a future release, as well as developing the Cluster API. For kubeadm, most new features, such as support for CoreDNS, IPv6 and Dynamic Kubelet Configuration, have gone in as alpha features. We expect to graduate these features to beta and beyond in the next release. The initial Cluster API spec and GCE sample implementation were developed from scratch during this cycle, and we look forward to stabilizing them into something production-grade during 2018.

Instrumentation

In v1.9 we focused on improving stability of the components owned by the SIG, including Heapster, Custom Metrics API adapters for Prometheus, and Stackdriver.

Network

In v1.9 SIG Network has implemented alpha support for IPv6, and alpha support for CoreDNS as a drop-in replacement for kube-dns. Additionally, SIG Network has begun the deprecation process for the extensions/v1beta1 NetworkPolicy API in favor of the networking.k8s.io/v1 equivalent.

Node

SIG Node iterated on the ability to support more workloads with better performance and improved reliability. Alpha features were improved around hardware accelerator support, device plugins enablement, and cpu pinning policies to enable us to graduate these features to beta in a future release. In addition, a number of reliability and performance enhancements were made across the node to help operators in production.

OpenStack

In this cycle, SIG OpenStack focused on configuration simplification through smarter defaults and the use of auto-detection wherever feasible (Block Storage API versions, Security Groups) as well as updating API support, including:

  • Block Storage (Cinder) V3 is now supported.
  • Load Balancer (Octavia) V2 is now supported, in addition to Neutron LBaaS V2.
  • Neutron LBaas V1 support has been removed.

This work enables Kubernetes to take full advantage of the relevant services as exposed by OpenStack clouds. Refer to the Cloud Providers documentation for more information.

Storage

SIG Storage is responsible for storage and volume plugin components.

For the 1.9 release, SIG Storage made Kubernetes more pluggable and modular by introducing an alpha implementation of the Container Storage Interface (CSI). CSI will make installing new volume plugins as easy as deploying a pod, and enable third-party storage providers to develop their plugins without the need to add code to the core Kubernetes codebase.

The SIG also focused on adding functionality to the Kubernetes volume subsystem, such as alpha support for exposing volumes as block devices inside containers, extending the alpha volume-resizing support to more volume plugins, and topology-aware volume scheduling.

Windows

We are advancing support for Windows Server and Windows Server Containers to beta along with continued feature and functional advancements on both the Kubernetes and Windows platforms. This opens the door for many Windows-specific applications and workloads to run on Kubernetes, significantly expanding the implementation scenarios and the enterprise reach of Kubernetes.

Before Upgrading

Consider the following changes, limitations, and guidelines before you upgrade:

API Machinery

  • The admission API, which is used when the API server calls admission control webhooks, is moved from admission.v1alpha1 to admission.v1beta1. You must delete any existing webhooks before you upgrade your cluster, and update them to use the latest API. This change is not backward compatible.
  • The admission webhook configurations API, part of the admissionregistration API, is now at v1beta1. Delete any existing webhook configurations before you upgrade, and update your configuration files to use the latest API. For this and the previous change, see also the documentation.
  • A new ValidatingAdmissionWebhook is added (replacing GenericAdmissionWebhook) and is available in the generic API server. You must update your API server configuration file to pass the webhook to the --admission-control flag. (#55988, @caesarxuchao) (#54513, @deads2k)
  • The deprecated options --portal-net and --service-node-ports for the API server are removed. (#52547, @xiangpengzhao)

Auth

  • PodSecurityPolicy: A compatibility issue with the allowPrivilegeEscalation field that caused policies to start denying pods they previously allowed was fixed. If you defined PodSecurityPolicy objects using a 1.8.0 client or server and set allowPrivilegeEscalation to false, these objects must be reapplied after you upgrade. (#53443, @liggitt)
  • KMS: Alpha integration with GCP KMS was removed in favor of a future out-of-process extension point. Discontinue use of the GCP KMS integration and ensure data has been decrypted (or reencrypted with a different provider) before upgrading (#54759, @sakshamsharma)

CLI

  • Swagger 1.2 validation is removed for kubectl. The options --use-openapi and --schema-cache-dir are also removed because they are no longer needed. (#53232, @apelisse)

Cluster Lifecycle

  • You must either specify the --discovery-token-ca-cert-hash flag to kubeadm join, or opt out of the CA pinning feature using --discovery-token-unsafe-skip-ca-verification.
  • The default auto-detect behavior of the kubelet's --cloud-provider flag is removed.
    • You can manually set --cloud-provider=auto-detect, but be aware that this behavior will be removed completely in a future version.
    • Best practice for version 1.9 and future versions is to explicitly set a cloud-provider. See the documentation
  • The kubeadm --skip-preflight-checks flag is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
  • If you are using the cloud provider API to determine the external host address of the apiserver, set --external-hostname explicitly instead. The cloud provider detection has been deprecated and will be removed in the future (#54516, @dims)

Multicluster

  • Development of Kubernetes Federation has moved to github.com/kubernetes/federation. This move out of tree also means that Federation will begin releasing separately from Kubernetes. Impact:
    • Federation-specific behavior will no longer be included in kubectl
    • kubefed will no longer be released as part of Kubernetes
    • The Federation servers will no longer be included in the hyperkube binary and image. (#53816, @marun)

Node

  • The kubelet --network-plugin-dir flag is removed. This flag was deprecated in version 1.7, and is replaced with --cni-bin-dir. (#53564, @supereagle)
  • kubelet's --cloud-provider flag no longer defaults to "auto-detect". If you want cloud-provider support in kubelet, you must set a specific cloud-provider explicitly. (#53573, @dims)

Network

  • NetworkPolicy objects are now stored in etcd in v1 format. After you upgrade to version 1.9, make sure that all NetworkPolicy objects are migrated to v1. (#51955, @danwinship)
  • The API group/version for the kube-proxy configuration has changed from componentconfig/v1alpha1 to kubeproxy.config.k8s.io/v1alpha1. If you are using a config file for kube-proxy instead of the command line flags, you must change its apiVersion to kubeproxy.config.k8s.io/v1alpha1. (#53645, @xiangpengzhao)
  • The "ServiceNodeExclusion" feature gate must now be enabled for the alpha.service-controller.kubernetes.io/exclude-balancer annotation on nodes to be honored. (#54644, @brendandburns)

Scheduling

  • Taint key unreachable is now in GA.
  • Taint key notReady is changed to not-ready, and is also now in GA.
  • These changes are automatically updated for taints. Tolerations for these taints must be updated manually. Specifically, you must:
    • Change node.alpha.kubernetes.io/notReady to node.kubernetes.io/not-ready
    • Change node.alpha.kubernetes.io/unreachable to node.kubernetes.io/unreachable
  • The node.kubernetes.io/memory-pressure taint now respects the configured whitelist. To use it, you must add it to the whitelist.(#55251, @deads2k)
  • Refactor kube-scheduler configuration (#52428)
    • The kube-scheduler command now supports a --config flag which is the location of a file containing a serialized scheduler configuration. Most other kube-scheduler flags are now deprecated. (#52562, @ironcladlou)
  • Opaque integer resources (OIR), which were (deprecated in v1.8.), have been removed. (#55103, @ConnorDoyle)

Storage

  • [alpha] The LocalPersistentVolumes alpha feature now also requires the VolumeScheduling alpha feature. This is a breaking change, and the following changes are required:
    • The VolumeScheduling feature gate must also be enabled on kube-scheduler and kube-controller-manager components.
    • The NoVolumeNodeConflict predicate has been removed. For non-default schedulers, update your scheduler policy.
    • The CheckVolumeBinding predicate must be enabled in non-default schedulers. (#55039, @msau42)

OpenStack

  • Remove the LbaasV1 of OpenStack cloud provider, currently only support LbaasV2. (#52717, @FengyunPan)

Known Issues

This section contains a list of known issues reported in Kubernetes 1.9 release. The content is populated from the [v1.9.x known issues and FAQ accumulator] #57159.

  • If you are adding Windows Server Virtual Machines as nodes to your Kubernetes environment, there is a compatibility issue with certain virtualization products. Specifically the Windows version of the kubelet.exe calls GetPhysicallyInstalledSystemMemory to get the physical memory installed on Windows machines and reports it as part of node metrics to heapster. This API call fails for VMware and VirtualBox virtualization environments. This issue is not present in bare metal Windows deployments, in Hyper-V, or on some of the popular public cloud providers.

  • If you run kubectl get po while the API server in unreachable, a misleading error is returned: the server doesn't have a resource type "po". To work around this issue, specify the full resource name in the command instead of the abbreviation: kubectl get pods. This issue will be fixed in a future release.

For more information, see #57198.

  • Mutating and validating webhook configurations are continuously polled by the API server (once per second). This issue will be fixed in a future release.

For more information, see #56357.

  • Audit logging is slow because writes to the log are performed synchronously with requests to the log. This issue will be fixed in a future release.

For more information, see #53006.

  • Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) are not properly deleted under certain conditions. This issue will be fixed in a future release.

For more information, see #56348.

  • API server times out after performing a rolling update of the etcd cluster. This issue will be fixed in a future release.

For more information, see #47131

  • If a namespaced resource is owned by a cluster scoped resource, and the namespaced dependent is processed before the cluster scoped owner has ever been observed by the garbage collector, the dependent will be erroneously deleted.

For more information, see #54940

Deprecations

This section provides an overview of deprecated API versions, options, flags, and arguments. Deprecated means that we intend to remove the capability from a future release. After removal, the capability will no longer work. The sections are organized by SIGs.

API Machinery

  • The kube-apiserver --etcd-quorum-read flag is deprecated and the ability to switch off quorum read will be removed in a future release. (#53795, @xiangpengzhao)
  • The /ui redirect in kube-apiserver is deprecated and will be removed in Kubernetes 1.10. (#53046, @maciaszczykm)
  • etcd2 as a backend is deprecated and support will be removed in Kubernetes 1.13 or 1.14.

Auth

  • Default controller-manager options for --cluster-signing-cert-file and --cluster-signing-key-file are deprecated and will be removed in a future release. (#54495, @mikedanese)
  • RBAC objects are now stored in etcd in v1 format. After upgrading to 1.9, ensure all RBAC objects (Roles, RoleBindings, ClusterRoles, ClusterRoleBindings) are at v1. v1alpha1 support is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. (#52950, @liggitt)

Cluster Lifecycle

  • kube-apiserver: --ssh-user and --ssh-keyfile are now deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Users of SSH tunnel functionality in Google Container Engine for the Master -> Cluster communication should plan alternate methods for bridging master and node networks. (#54433, @dims)
  • The kubeadm --skip-preflight-checks flag is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
  • If you are using the cloud provider API to determine the external host address of the apiserver, set --external-hostname explicitly instead. The cloud provider detection has been deprecated and will be removed in the future (#54516, @dims)

Network

  • The NetworkPolicy extensions/v1beta1 API is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release. This functionality has been migrated to a dedicated v1 API - networking.k8s.io/v1. v1beta1 Network Policies can be upgraded to the v1 API with the cluster/update-storage-objects.sh script. Documentation can be found here. (#56425, @cmluciano)

Storage

  • The volume.beta.kubernetes.io/storage-class annotation is deprecated. It will be removed in a future release. For the StorageClass API object, use v1, and in place of the annotation use v1.PersistentVolumeClaim.Spec.StorageClassName and v1.PersistentVolume.Spec.StorageClassName instead. (#53580, @xiangpengzhao)

Scheduling

  • The kube-scheduler command now supports a --config flag, which is the location of a file containing a serialized scheduler configuration. Most other kube-scheduler flags are now deprecated. (#52562, @ironcladlou)

Node

  • The kubelet's --enable-custom-metrics flag is now deprecated. (#54154, @mtaufen)

Notable Changes

Workloads API (apps/v1)

As announced with the release of version 1.8, the Kubernetes Workloads API is at v1 in version 1.9. This API consists of the DaemonSet, Deployment, ReplicaSet and StatefulSet kinds.

API Machinery

Admission Control

  • Admission webhooks are now in beta, and include the following:
    • Mutation support for admission webhooks. (#54892, @caesarxuchao)
    • Webhook admission now takes a config file that describes how to authenticate to webhook servers (#54414, @deads2k)
    • The dynamic admission webhook now supports a URL in addition to a service reference, to accommodate out-of-cluster webhooks. (#54889, @lavalamp)
    • Added namespaceSelector to externalAdmissionWebhook configuration to allow applying webhooks only to objects in the namespaces that have matching labels. (#54727, @caesarxuchao)
  • Metrics are added for monitoring admission plugins, including the new dynamic (webhook-based) ones. (#55183, @jpbetz)
  • The PodSecurityPolicy annotation kubernetes.io/psp on pods is set only once on create. (#55486, @sttts)

API & API server

  • Fixed a bug related to discovery information for scale subresources in the apps API group (#54683, @liggitt)
  • Fixed a bug that prevented client-go metrics from being registered in Prometheus. This bug affected multiple components. (#53434, @crassirostris)

Audit

  • Fixed a bug so that kube-apiserver now waits for open connections to finish before exiting. This fix provides graceful shutdown and ensures that the audit backend no longer drops events on shutdown. (#53695, @hzxuzhonghu)
  • Webhooks now always retry sending if a connection reset error is returned. (#53947, @crassirostris)

Custom Resources

  • Validation of resources defined by a Custom Resource Definition (CRD) is now in beta (#54647, @colemickens)
  • An example CRD controller has been added, at github.com/kubernetes/sample-controller. (#52753, @munnerz)
  • Custom resources served by CustomResourceDefinition objects now support field selectors for metadata.name and metadata.namespace. Also fixed an issue with watching a single object; earlier versions could watch only a collection, and so a watch on an instance would fail. (#53345, @ncdc)

Other

  • kube-apiserver now runs with the default value for service-cluster-ip-range (#52870, @jennybuckley)
  • Add --etcd-compaction-interval to apiserver for controlling request of compaction to etcd3 from apiserver. (#51765, @mitake)
  • The httpstream/spdy calls now support CIDR notation for NO_PROXY (#54413, @kad)
  • Code generation for CRD and User API server types is improved with the addition of two new scripts to k8s.io/code-generator: generate-groups.sh and generate-internal-groups.sh. (#52186, @sttts)
  • [beta] Flag --chunk-size={SIZE} is added to kubectl get to customize the number of results returned in large lists of resources. This reduces the perceived latency of managing large clusters because the server returns the first set of results to the client much more quickly. Pass 0 to disable this feature.(#53768, @smarterclayton)
  • [beta] API chunking via the limit and continue request parameters is promoted to beta in this release. Client libraries using the Informer or ListWatch types will automatically opt in to chunking. (#52949, @smarterclayton)
  • The --etcd-quorum-read flag now defaults to true to ensure correct operation with HA etcd clusters. This flag is deprecated and the flag will be removed in future versions, as well as the ability to turn off this functionality. (#53717, @liggitt)
  • Add events.k8s.io api group with v1beta1 API containing redesigned event type. (#49112, @gmarek)
  • Fixed a bug where API discovery failures were crashing the kube controller manager via the garbage collector. (#55259, @ironcladlou)
  • conversion-gen is now usable in a context without a vendored k8s.io/kubernetes. The Kubernetes core API is removed from default extra-peer-dirs. (#54394, @sttts)
  • Fixed a bug where the client-gen tag for code-generator required a newline between a comment block and a statement. tag shortcomings when newline is omitted (#53893) (#55233, @sttts)
  • The Apiserver proxy now rewrites the URL when a service returns an absolute path with the request's host. (#52556, @roycaihw)
  • The gRPC library is updated to pick up data race fix (#53124) (#53128, @dixudx)
  • Fixed server name verification of aggregated API servers and webhook admission endpoints (#56415, @liggitt)

Apps

  • The kubernetes.io/created-by annotation is no longer added to controller-created objects. Use the metadata.ownerReferences item with controller set to true to determine which controller, if any, owns an object. (#54445, @crimsonfaith91)
  • StatefulSet controller now creates a label for each Pod in a StatefulSet. The label is statefulset.kubernetes.io/pod-name, where pod-name = the name of the Pod. This allows users to create a Service per Pod to expose a connection to individual Pods. (#55329, @kow3ns)
  • DaemonSet status includes a new field named conditions, making it consistent with other workloads controllers. (#55272, @janetkuo)
  • StatefulSet status now supports conditions, making it consistent with other core controllers in v1 (#55268, @foxish)
  • The default garbage collection policy for Deployment, DaemonSet, StatefulSet, and ReplicaSet has changed from OrphanDependents to DeleteDependents when the deletion is requested through an apps/v1 endpoint. (#55148, @dixudx)
    • Clients using older endpoints will be unaffected. This change is only at the REST API level and is independent of the default behavior of particular clients (e.g. this does not affect the default for the kubectl --cascade flag).
    • If you upgrade your client-go libs and use the AppsV1() interface, please note that the default garbage collection behavior is changed.

Auth

Audit

RBAC

  • New permissions have been added to default RBAC roles (#52654, @liggitt):
    • The default admin and edit roles now include read/write permissions
    • The view role includes read permissions on poddisruptionbudget.policy resources.
  • RBAC rules can now match the same subresource on any resource using the form */(subresource). For example, */scale matches requests to replicationcontroller/scale. (#53722, @deads2k)
  • The RBAC bootstrapping policy now allows authenticated users to create selfsubjectrulesreviews. (#56095, @ericchiang)
  • RBAC ClusterRoles can now select other roles to aggregate. (#54005, @deads2k)
  • Fixed an issue with RBAC reconciliation that caused duplicated subjects in some bootstrapped RoleBinding objects on each restart of the API server. (#53239, @enj)

Other

  • Pod Security Policy can now manage access to specific FlexVolume drivers (#53179, @wanghaoran1988)
  • Audit policy files without apiVersion and kind are treated as invalid. (#54267, @ericchiang)
  • Fixed a bug that where forbidden errors were encountered when accessing ReplicaSet and DaemonSets objects via the apps API group. (#54309, @liggitt)
  • Improved PodSecurityPolicy admission latency. (#55643, @tallclair)
  • kube-apiserver: --oidc-username-prefix and --oidc-group-prefix flags are now correctly enabled. (#56175, @ericchiang)
  • If multiple PodSecurityPolicy objects allow a submitted pod, priority is given to policies that do not require default values for any fields in the pod spec. If default values are required, the first policy ordered by name that allows the pod is used. (#52849, @liggitt)
  • A new controller automatically cleans up Certificate Signing Requests that are Approved and Issued, or Denied. (#51840, @jcbsmpsn)
  • PodSecurityPolicies have been added for all in-tree cluster addons (#55509, @tallclair)

GCE

  • Added support for PodSecurityPolicy on GCE: ENABLE_POD_SECURITY_POLICY=true enables the admission controller, and installs policies for default addons. (#52367, @tallclair)

Autoscaling

  • HorizontalPodAutoscaler objects now properly functions on scalable resources in any API group. Fixed by adding a polymorphic scale client. (#53743, @DirectXMan12)
  • Fixed a set of minor issues with Cluster Autoscaler 1.0.1 (#54298, @mwielgus)
  • HPA tolerance is now configurable by setting the horizontal-pod-autoscaler-tolerance flag. (#52275, @mattjmcnaughton)
  • Fixed a bug that allowed the horizontal pod autoscaler to allocate more desiredReplica objects than maxReplica objects in certain instances. (#53690, @mattjmcnaughton)

AWS

  • Nodes can now use instance types (such as C5) that use NVMe. (#56607, @justinsb)
  • Nodes are now unreachable if volumes are stuck in the attaching state. Implemented by applying a taint to the node. (#55558, @gnufied)
  • Volumes are now checked for available state before attempting to attach or delete a volume in EBS. (#55008, @gnufied)
  • Fixed a bug where error log messages were breaking into two lines. (#49826, @dixudx)
  • Fixed a bug so that volumes are now detached from stopped nodes. (#55893, @gnufied)
  • You can now override the health check parameters for AWS ELBs by specifying annotations on the corresponding service. The new annotations are: healthy-threshold, unhealthy-threshold, timeout, interval. The prefix for all annotations is service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-healthcheck-. (#56024, @dimpavloff)
  • Fixed a bug so that AWS ECR credentials are now supported in the China region. (#50108, @zzq889)
  • Added Amazon NLB support (#53400, @micahhausler)
  • Additional annotations are now properly set or updated for AWS load balancers (#55731, @georgebuckerfield)
  • AWS SDK is updated to version 1.12.7 (#53561, @justinsb)

Azure

  • Fixed several issues with properly provisioning Azure disk storage (#55927, @andyzhangx)
  • A new service annotation service.beta.kubernetes.io/azure-dns-label-name now sets the Azure DNS label for a public IP address. (#47849, @tomerf)
  • Support for GetMountRefs function added; warning messages no longer displayed. (#54670, #52401, @andyzhangx)
  • Fixed an issue where an Azure PersistentVolume object would crash because the value of volumeSource.ReadOnly was set to nil. (#54607, @andyzhangx)
  • Fixed an issue with Azure disk mount failures on CoreOS and some other distros (#54334, @andyzhangx)
  • GRS, RAGRS storage account types are now supported for Azure disks. (#55931, @andyzhangx)
  • Azure NSG rules are now restricted so that external access is allowed only to the load balancer IP. (#54177, @itowlson)
  • Azure NSG rules can be consolidated to reduce the likelihood of hitting Azure resource limits (available only in regions where the Augmented Security Groups preview is available). (#55740, @itowlson)
  • The Azure SDK is upgraded to v11.1.1. (#54971, @itowlson)
  • You can now create Windows mount paths (#51240, @andyzhangx)
  • Fixed a controller manager crash issue on a manually created k8s cluster. (#53694, @andyzhangx)
  • Azure-based clusters now support unlimited mount points. (#54668) (#53629, @andyzhangx)
  • Load balancer reconciliation now considers NSG rules based not only on Name, but also on Protocol, SourcePortRange, DestinationPortRange, SourceAddressPrefix, DestinationAddressPrefix, Access, and Direction. This change makes it possible to update NSG rules under more conditions. (#55752, @kevinkim9264)
  • Custom mountOptions for the azurefile StorageClass object are now respected. Specifically, dir_mode and file_mode can now be customized. (#54674, @andyzhangx)
  • Azure Load Balancer Auto Mode: Services can be annotated to allow auto selection of available load balancers and to provide specific availability sets that host the load balancers (for example, service.beta.kubernetes.io/azure-load-balancer-mode=auto|as1,as2...)

CLI

Kubectl

  • kubectl cp can now copy a remote file into a local directory. (#46762, @bruceauyeung)
  • kubectl cp now honors destination names for directories. A complete directory is now copied; in previous versions only the file contents were copied. (#51215, @juanvallejo)
  • You can now use kubectl get with a fieldSelector. (#50140, @dixudx)
  • Secret data containing Docker registry auth objects is now generated using the config.json format (#53916, @juanvallejo)

  • Added kubectl create priorityclass subcommand (#54858, @wackxu)
  • Fixed an issue where kubectl set commands occasionally encountered conversion errors for ReplicaSet and DaemonSet objects (#53158, @liggitt)

Cluster Lifecycle

API Server

  • [alpha] Added an --endpoint-reconciler-type command-line argument to select the endpoint reconciler to use. The default is to use the 'master-count' reconciler which is the default for 1.9 and in use prior to 1.9. The 'lease' reconciler stores endpoints within the storage api for better cleanup of deleted (or removed) API servers. The 'none' reconciler is a no-op reconciler, which can be used in self-hosted environments. (#51698, @rphillips)

Cloud Provider Integration

  • Added cloud-controller-manager to hyperkube. This is useful as a number of deployment tools run all of the kubernetes components from the hyperkube image/binary. It also makes testing easier as a single binary/image can be built and pushed quickly. (#54197, @colemickens)
  • Added the concurrent service sync flag to the Cloud Controller Manager to allow changing the number of workers. (--concurrent-service-syncs) (#55561, @jhorwit2)
  • kubelet's --cloud-provider flag no longer defaults to "auto-detect". If you want cloud-provider support in kubelet, you must set a specific cloud-provider explicitly. (#53573, @dims)

Kubeadm

  • kubeadm health checks can now be skipped with --ignore-preflight-errors; the --skip-preflight-checks flag is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release. (#56130, @anguslees) (#56072, @kad)
  • You now have the option to use CoreDNS instead of KubeDNS. To install CoreDNS instead of kube-dns, set CLUSTER_DNS_CORE_DNS to 'true'. This support is experimental. (#52501, @rajansandeep) (#55728, @rajansandeep)
  • Added --print-join-command flag for kubeadm token create. (#56185, @mattmoyer)
  • Added a new --etcd-upgrade keyword to kubeadm upgrade apply. When this keyword is specified, etcd's static pod gets upgraded to the etcd version officially recommended for a target kubernetes release. (#55010, @sbezverk)
  • Kubeadm now supports Kubelet Dynamic Configuration on an alpha level. (#55803, @xiangpengzhao)
  • Added support for adding a Windows node (#53553, @bsteciuk)

Juju

  • Added support for SAN entries in the master node certificate. (#54234, @hyperbolic2346)
  • Add extra-args configs for scheduler and controller-manager to kubernetes-master charm (#55185, @Cynerva)
  • Add support for RBAC (#53820, @ktsakalozos)
  • Fixed iptables FORWARD policy for Docker 1.13 in kubernetes-worker charm (#54796, @Cynerva)
  • Upgrading the kubernetes-master units now results in staged upgrades just like the kubernetes-worker nodes. Use the upgrade action in order to continue the upgrade process on each unit such as juju run-action kubernetes-master/0 upgrade (#55990, @hyperbolic2346)
  • Added extra_sans config option to kubeapi-load-balancer charm. This allows the user to specify extra SAN entries on the certificate generated for the load balancer. (#54947, @hyperbolic2346)
  • Added extra-args configs to kubernetes-worker charm (#55334, @Cynerva)

Other

GCP

  • The service account made available on your nodes is now configurable. (#52868, @ihmccreery)

  • Updated cluster printer to enable --show-labels (#53771, @dixudx)
  • Kubefed init now supports --nodeSelector, enabling you to determine on what node the controller will be installed. (#50749, @dixudx)

Network

IPv6

  • [alpha] IPv6 support has been added. Notable IPv6 support details include:
    • Support for IPv6-only Kubernetes cluster deployments. Note: This feature does not provide dual-stack support.
    • Support for IPv6 Kubernetes control and data planes.
    • Support for Kubernetes IPv6 cluster deployments using kubeadm.
    • Support for the iptables kube-proxy backend using ip6tables.
    • Relies on CNI 0.6.0 binaries for IPv6 pod networking.
    • Adds IPv6 support for kube-dns using SRV records.
    • Caveats
      • Only the CNI bridge and local-ipam plugins have been tested for the alpha release, although other CNI plugins do support IPv6.
      • HostPorts are not supported.
  • An IPv6 network mask for pod or cluster cidr network must be /66 or longer. For example: 2001:db1::/66, 2001:dead:beef::/76, 2001:cafe::/118 are supported. 2001:db1::/64 is not supported
  • For details, see the complete list of merged pull requests for IPv6 support.

IPVS

  • You can now use the --cleanup-ipvs flag to tell kube-proxy whether to flush all existing ipvs rules in on startup (#56036, @m1093782566)
  • Graduate kube-proxy IPVS mode to beta. (#56623, @m1093782566)

Kube-Proxy

  • Added iptables rules to allow Pod traffic even when default iptables policy is to reject. (#52569, @tmjd)
  • You can once again use 0 values for conntrack min, max, max per core, tcp close wait timeout, and tcp established timeout; this functionality was broken in 1.8. (#55261, @ncdc)

CoreDNS

  • You now have the option to use CoreDNS instead of KubeDNS. To install CoreDNS instead of kube-dns, set CLUSTER_DNS_CORE_DNS to 'true'. This support is experimental. (#52501, @rajansandeep) (#55728, @rajansandeep)

Other

  • Pod addresses will now be removed from the list of endpoints when the pod is in graceful termination. (#54828, @freehan)
  • You can now use a new supported service annotation for AWS clusters, service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-ssl-negotiation-policy, which lets you specify which predefined AWS SSL policy you would like to use. (#54507, @micahhausler)
  • Termination grace period for the calico/node add-on DaemonSet has been eliminated, reducing downtime during a rolling upgrade or deletion. (#55015, @fasaxc)
  • Fixed bad conversion in host port chain name generating func which led to some unreachable host ports. (#55153, @chenchun)
  • Fixed IPVS availability check (#51874, @vfreex)
  • The output for kubectl describe networkpolicy * has been enhanced to be more useful. (#46951, @aanm)

  • You can now add "options" to the host's /etc/resolv.conf (or --resolv-conf), and they will be copied into pod's resolv.conf when dnsPolicy is Default. Being able to customize options is important because it is common to leverage options to fine-tune the behavior of DNS client. (#54773, @phsiao)
  • Fixed a bug so that the service controller no longer retries if doNotRetry service update fails. (#54184, @MrHohn)
  • Added --no-negcache flag to kube-dns to prevent caching of NXDOMAIN responses. (#53604, @cblecker)

Node

Pod API

  • A single value in metadata.annotations/metadata.labels can now be passed into the containers via the Downward API. (#55902, @yguo0905)
  • Pods will no longer briefly transition to a "Pending" state during the deletion process. (#54593, @dashpole)
  • Added pod-level local ephemeral storage metric to the Summary API. Pod-level ephemeral storage reports the total filesystem usage for the containers and emptyDir volumes in the measured Pod. (#55447, @jingxu97)

Hardware Accelerators

  • Kubelet now exposes metrics for NVIDIA GPUs attached to the containers. (#55188, @mindprince)
  • The device plugin Alpha API no longer supports returning artifacts per device as part of AllocateResponse. (#53031, @vishh)

    • CRI now uses the correct localhost seccomp path when provided with input in the format of localhost//profileRoot/profileName. (#55450, @feiskyer)

Kubelet

  • The EvictionHard, EvictionSoft, EvictionSoftGracePeriod, EvictionMinimumReclaim, SystemReserved, and KubeReserved fields in the KubeletConfiguration object (kubeletconfig/v1alpha1) are now of type map[string]string, which facilitates writing JSON and YAML files. (#54823, @mtaufen)
  • Relative paths in the Kubelet's local config files (--init-config-dir) will now be resolved relative to the location of the containing files. (#55648, @mtaufen)
  • It is now possible to set multiple manifest URL headers with the kubelet's --manifest-url-header flag. Multiple headers for the same key will be added in the order provided. The ManifestURLHeader field in KubeletConfiguration object (kubeletconfig/v1alpha1) is now a map[string][]string, which facilitates writing JSON and YAML files. (#54643, @mtaufen)
  • The Kubelet's feature gates are now specified as a map when provided via a JSON or YAML KubeletConfiguration, rather than as a string of key-value pairs, making them less awkward for users. (#53025, @mtaufen)
Other
  • Fixed a performance issue (#51899) identified in large-scale clusters when deleting thousands of pods simultaneously across hundreds of nodes, by actively removing containers of deleted pods, rather than waiting for periodic garbage collection and batching resulting pod API deletion requests. (#53233, @dashpole)
  • Problems deleting local static pods have been resolved. (#48339, @dixudx)
  • CRI now only calls UpdateContainerResources when cpuset is set. (#53122, @resouer)
  • Containerd monitoring is now supported. (#56109, @dashpole)
  • deviceplugin has been extended to more gracefully handle the full device plugin lifecycle, including: (#55088, @jiayingz)
    • Kubelet now uses an explicit cm.GetDevicePluginResourceCapacity() function that makes it possible to more accurately determine what resources are inactive and return a more accurate view of available resources.
    • Extends the device plugin checkpoint data to record registered resources so that we can finish resource removing devices even upon kubelet restarts.
    • Passes sourcesReady from kubelet to the device plugin to avoid removing inactive pods during the grace period of kubelet restart.
    • Extends the gpu_device_plugin e2e_node test to verify that scheduled pods can continue to run even after a device plugin deletion and kubelet restart.
  • The NodeController no longer supports kubelet 1.2. (#48996, @k82cn)
  • Kubelet now provides more specific events via FailedSync when unable to sync a pod. (#53857, @derekwaynecarr)
  • You can now disable AppArmor by setting the AppArmor profile to unconfined. (#52395, @dixudx)
  • ImageGCManage now consumes ImageFS stats from StatsProvider rather than cadvisor. (#53094, @yguo0905)
  • Hyperkube now supports the support --experimental-dockershim kubelet flag. (#54508, @ivan4th)
  • Kubelet no longer removes default labels from Node API objects on startup (#54073, @liggitt)
  • The overlay2 container disk metrics for Docker and CRI-O now work properly. (#54827, @dashpole)
  • Removed docker dependency during kubelet start up. (#54405, @resouer)
  • Added Windows support to the system verification check. (#53730, @bsteciuk)
  • Kubelet no longer removes unregistered extended resource capacities from node status; cluster admins will have to manually remove extended resources exposed via device plugins when they the remove plugins themselves. (#53353, @jiayingz)
  • The stats summary network value now takes into account multiple network interfaces, and not just eth0. (#52144, @andyxning)
  • Base images have been bumped to Debian Stretch (9). (#52744, @rphillips)

OpenStack

  • OpenStack Cinder support has been improved:
  • Load balancing is now more flexible:
    • The OpenStack LBaaS v2 Provider is now configurable. (#54176, @gonzolino)
    • OpenStack Octavia v2 is now supported as a load balancer provider in addition to the existing support for the Neutron LBaaS V2 implementation. Neutron LBaaS V1 support has been removed. (#55393, @jamiehannaford)
  • OpenStack security group support has been beefed up (#50836, @FengyunPan):
    • Kubernetes will now automatically determine the security group for the node
    • Nodes can now belong to multiple security groups

Scheduling

Hardware Accelerators

  • Add ExtendedResourceToleration admission controller. This facilitates creation of dedicated nodes with extended resources. If operators want to create dedicated nodes with extended resources (such as GPUs, FPGAs, and so on), they are expected to taint the node with extended resource name as the key. This admission controller, if enabled, automatically adds tolerations for such taints to pods requesting extended resources, so users don't have to manually add these tolerations. (#55839, @mindprince)

Other

  • Scheduler cache ignores updates to an assumed pod if updates are limited to pod annotations. (#54008, @yguo0905)
  • Issues with namespace deletion have been resolved. (#53720, @shyamjvs) (#53793, @wojtek-t)
  • Pod preemption has been improved.

  • Fixed 'Schedulercache is corrupted' error in kube-scheduler (#55262, @liggitt)
  • The kube-scheduler command now supports a --config flag which is the location of a file containing a serialized scheduler configuration. Most other kube-scheduler flags are now deprecated. (#52562, @ironcladlou)
  • A new scheduling queue helps schedule the highest priority pending pod first. (#55109, @bsalamat)
  • A Pod can now listen to the same port on multiple IP addresses. (#52421, @WIZARD-CXY)
  • Object count quotas supported on all standard resources using count/. syntax (#54320, @derekwaynecarr)
  • Apply algorithm in scheduler by feature gates. (#52723, @k82cn)
  • A new priority function ResourceLimitsPriorityMap (disabled by default and behind alpha feature gate and not part of the scheduler's default priority functions list) that assigns a lowest possible score of 1 to a node that satisfies one or both of input pod's cpu and memory limits, mainly to break ties between nodes with same scores. (#55906, @aveshagarwal)
  • Kubelet evictions now take pod priority into account (#53542, @dashpole)
  • PodTolerationRestriction admisson plugin: if namespace level tolerations are empty, now they override cluster level tolerations. (#54812, @aveshagarwal)

Storage

  • [stable] PersistentVolume and PersistentVolumeClaim objects must now have a capacity greater than zero.
  • [stable] Mutation of PersistentVolumeSource after creation is no longer allowed
  • [alpha] Deletion of PersistentVolumeClaim objects that are in use by a pod no longer permitted (if alpha feature is enabled).
  • [alpha] Container Storage Interface
    • New CSIVolumeSource enables Kubernetes to use external CSI drivers to provision, attach, and mount volumes.
  • [alpha] Raw block volumes
    • Support for surfacing volumes as raw block devices added to Kubernetes storage system.
    • Only Fibre Channel volume plugin supports exposes this functionality, in this release.
  • [alpha] Volume resizing
    • Added file system resizing for the following volume plugins: GCE PD, Ceph RBD, AWS EBS, OpenStack Cinder
  • [alpha] Topology Aware Volume Scheduling
    • Improved volume scheduling for Local PersistentVolumes, by allowing the scheduler to make PersistentVolume binding decisions while respecting the Pod's scheduling requirements.
    • Dynamic provisioning is not supported with this feature yet.
  • [alpha] Containerized mount utilities
    • Allow mount utilities, used to mount volumes, to run inside a container instead of on the host.
  • Bug Fixes
    • ScaleIO volume plugin is no longer dependent on the drv_cfg binary, so a Kubernetes cluster can easily run a containerized kubelet. (#54956, @vladimirvivien)
    • AWS EBS Volumes are detached from stopped AWS nodes. (#55893, @gnufied)
    • AWS EBS volumes are detached if attached to a different node than expected. (#55491, @gnufied)
    • PV Recycle now works in environments that use architectures other than x86. (#53958, @dixudx)
    • Pod Security Policy can now manage access to specific FlexVolume drivers.(#53179, @wanghaoran1988)
    • To prevent unauthorized access to CHAP Secrets, you can now set the secretNamespace storage class parameters for the following volume types:
    • In GCE multizonal clusters, PersistentVolume objects will no longer be dynamically provisioned in zones without nodes. (#52322, @davidz627)
    • Multi Attach PVC errors and events are now more useful and less noisy. (#53401, @gnufied)
    • The compute-rw scope has been removed from GCE nodes (#53266, @mikedanese)
    • Updated vSphere cloud provider to support k8s cluster spread across multiple vCenters (#55845, @rohitjogvmw)

Changelog since v1.9.0-alpha.3

Action Required

  • Adds alpha support for volume scheduling, which allows the scheduler to make PersistentVolume binding decisions while respecting the Pod's scheduling requirements. Dynamic provisioning is not supported with this feature yet. (#55039, @msau42)
    • Action required for existing users of the LocalPersistentVolumes alpha feature:
      • The VolumeScheduling feature gate also has to be enabled on kube-scheduler and kube-controller-manager.
      • The NoVolumeNodeConflict predicate has been removed. For non-default schedulers, update your scheduler policy.
      • The CheckVolumeBinding predicate has to be enabled in non-default schedulers.
  • Action required: (#56004, @caesarxuchao)
    • The admission/v1alpha1 API has graduated to v1beta1. Please delete your existing webhooks before upgrading the cluster, and update your admission webhooks to use the latest API, because the API has backwards incompatible changes.
    • The webhook registration related part of the admissionregistration API has graduated to v1beta1. Please delete your existing configurations before upgrading the cluster, and update your configuration file to use the latest API.
  • [action required] kubeadm join: Error out if CA pinning isn't used or opted out of (#55468, @yuexiao-wang) * kubeadm now requires the user to specify either the --discovery-token-ca-cert-hash flag or the --discovery-token-unsafe-skip-ca-verification flag.

Other notable changes

  • A new priority function ResourceLimitsPriorityMap (disabled by default and behind alpha feature gate and not part of the scheduler's default priority functions list) that assigns a lowest possible score of 1 to a node that satisfies one or both of input pod's cpu and memory limits, mainly to break ties between nodes with same scores. (#55906, @aveshagarwal)
  • AWS: Fix detaching volume from stopped nodes. (#55893, @gnufied)
  • Fix stats summary network value when multiple network interfaces are available. (#52144, @andyxning)
  • Fix a typo in prometheus-to-sd configuration, that drops some stackdriver metrics. (#56473, @loburm)
  • Fixes server name verification of aggregated API servers and webhook admission endpoints (#56415, @liggitt)
  • OpenStack cloud provider supports Cinder v3 API. (#52910, @FengyunPan)
  • kube-up: Add optional addon CoreDNS. (#55728, @rajansandeep)
    • Install CoreDNS instead of kube-dns by setting CLUSTER_DNS_CORE_DNS value to 'true'.

  • Fix CRI localhost seccomp path in format localhost//profileRoot/profileName. (#55450, @feiskyer)
  • kubeadm: Add CoreDNS support for kubeadm "upgrade" and "alpha phases addons". (#55952, @rajansandeep)
  • The default garbage collection policy for Deployment, DaemonSet, StatefulSet, and ReplicaSet has changed from OrphanDependents to DeleteDependents when the deletion is requested through an apps/v1 endpoint. Clients using older endpoints will be unaffected. This change is only at the REST API level and is independent of the default behavior of particular clients (e.g. this does not affect the default for the kubectl --cascade flag). (#55148, @dixudx)
    • If you upgrade your client-go libs and use the AppsV1() interface, please note that the default garbage collection behavior is changed.
  • Add resize support for ceph RBD (#52767, @NickrenREN)

  • It is now possible to override the healthcheck parameters for AWS ELBs via annotations on the corresponding service. The new annotations are healthy-threshold, unhealthy-threshold, timeout, interval (all prefixed with service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-healthcheck-) (#56024, @dimpavloff)

  • kube-apiserver: fixed --oidc-username-prefix and --oidc-group-prefix flags which previously weren't correctly enabled (#56175, @ericchiang)
  • New kubeadm flag --ignore-preflight-errors that enables to decrease severity of each individual error to warning. (#56072, @kad)
    • Old flag --skip-preflight-checks is marked as deprecated and acts as --ignore-preflight-errors=all
  • Block volumes Support: CRI, volumemanager and operationexecutor changes (#51494, @mtanino)
  • StatefulSet controller will create a label for each Pod in a StatefulSet. The label is named statefulset.kubernetes.io/pod-name and it is equal to the name of the Pod. This allows users to create a Service per Pod to expose a connection to individual Pods. (#55329, @kow3ns)
  • Initial basic bootstrap-checkpoint support (#50984, @timothysc)
  • Add DNSConfig field to PodSpec and support "None" mode for DNSPolicy (Alpha). (#55848, @MrHohn)
  • Add pod-level local ephemeral storage metric in Summary API. Pod-level ephemeral storage reports the total filesystem usage for the containers and emptyDir volumes in the measured Pod. (#55447, @jingxu97)

  • With this change (#55845, @rohitjogvmw)
      • User should be able to create k8s cluster which spans across multiple ESXi clusters, datacenters or even vCenters.
      • vSphere cloud provider (VCP) uses OS hostname and not vSphere Inventory VM Name.
    • That means, now VCP can handle cases where user changes VM inventory name.
      • VCP can handle cases where VM migrates to other ESXi cluster or datacenter or vCenter.
    • The only requirement is the shared storage. VCP needs shared storage on all Node VMs.
  • The RBAC bootstrapping policy now allows authenticated users to create selfsubjectrulesreviews. (#56095, @ericchiang)
  • Defaulting of controller-manager options for --cluster-signing-cert-file and --cluster-signing-key-file is deprecated and will be removed in a later release. (#54495, @mikedanese)
  • Add ExtendedResourceToleration admission controller. This facilitates creation of dedicated nodes with extended resources. If operators want to create dedicated nodes with extended resources (like GPUs, FPGAs etc.), they are expected to taint the node with extended resource name as the key. This admission controller, if enabled, automatically adds tolerations for such taints to pods requesting extended resources, so users don't have to manually add these tolerations. (#55839, @mindprince)
  • Move unreachable taint key out of alpha. (#54208, @resouer)
    • Please note the existing pods with the alpha toleration should be updated by user himself to tolerate the GA taint.
  • add GRS, RAGRS storage account type support for azure disk (#55931, @andyzhangx)
  • Upgrading the kubernetes-master units now results in staged upgrades just like the kubernetes-worker nodes. Use the upgrade action in order to continue the upgrade process on each unit such as juju run-action kubernetes-master/0 upgrade (#55990, @hyperbolic2346)
  • Using ipset doing SNAT and packet filtering in IPVS kube-proxy (#54219, @m1093782566)
  • Add a new scheduling queue that helps schedule the highest priority pending pod first. (#55109, @bsalamat)
  • Adds to kubeadm upgrade apply, a new --etcd-upgrade keyword. When this keyword is specified, etcd's static pod gets upgraded to the etcd version officially recommended for a target kubernetes release. (#55010, @sbezverk)
  • Adding vishh as an reviewer/approver for hack directory (#54007, @vishh)
  • The GenericAdmissionWebhook is renamed as ValidatingAdmissionWebhook. Please update you apiserver configuration file to use the new name to pass to the apiserver's --admission-control flag. (#55988, @caesarxuchao)
  • iSCSI Persistent Volume Sources can now reference CHAP Secrets in namespaces other than the namespace of the bound Persistent Volume Claim (#51530, @rootfs)
  • Bugfix: master startup script on GCP no longer fails randomly due to concurrent iptables invocations. (#55945, @x13n)
  • fix azure disk storage account init issue (#55927, @andyzhangx)
  • Allow code-generator tags in the 2nd closest comment block and directly above a statement. (#55233, @sttts)
  • Ensure additional resource tags are set/updated AWS load balancers (#55731, @georgebuckerfield)

  • AWS: Apply taint to a node if volumes being attached to it are stuck in attaching state (#55558, @gnufied)
  • Kubeadm now supports for Kubelet Dynamic Configuration. (#55803, @xiangpengzhao)
  • Added mutation supports to admission webhooks. (#54892, @caesarxuchao)
  • Upgrade to go1.9.2 (#55420, @cblecker)
  • If a non-absolute mountPath is passed to the kubelet, prefix it with the appropriate root path. (#55665, @brendandburns)
  • action-required: please update your admission webhook to use the latest Admission API. (#55829, @cheftako)
    • admission/v1alpha1#AdmissionReview now contains AdmissionRequest and AdmissionResponse. AdmissionResponse includes a Patch field to allow mutating webhooks to send json patch to the apiserver.
  • support mount options in azure file (#54674, @andyzhangx)
  • Support AWS ECR credentials in China (#50108, @zzq889)
  • The EvictionHard, EvictionSoft, EvictionSoftGracePeriod, EvictionMinimumReclaim, SystemReserved, and KubeReserved fields in the KubeletConfiguration object (kubeletconfig/v1alpha1) are now of type map[string]string, which facilitates writing JSON and YAML files. (#54823, @mtaufen)
  • Added service annotation for AWS ELB SSL policy (#54507, @micahhausler)
  • Implement correction mechanism for dangling volumes attached for deleted pods (#55491, @gnufied)
  • Promote validation for custom resources defined through CRD to beta (#54647, @colemickens)

Changelog since v1.8.0

Action Required

  • PodSecurityPolicy: Fixes a compatibility issue that caused policies that previously allowed privileged pods to start forbidding them, due to an incorrect default value for allowPrivilegeEscalation. PodSecurityPolicy objects defined using a 1.8.0 client or server that intended to set allowPrivilegeEscalation to false must be reapplied after upgrading to 1.8.1. (#53443, @liggitt)
  • RBAC objects are now stored in etcd in v1 format. After completing an upgrade to 1.9, RBAC objects (Roles, RoleBindings, ClusterRoles, ClusterRoleBindings) should be migrated to ensure all persisted objects are written in v1 format, prior to v1alpha1 support being removed in a future release. (#52950, @liggitt)

Other notable changes

  • Log error of failed healthz check (#53048, @mrIncompetent)
  • fix azure file mount limit issue on windows due to using drive letter (#53629, @andyzhangx)
  • Update AWS SDK to 1.12.7 (#53561, @justinsb)
  • The kubernetes.io/created-by annotation is no longer added to controller-created objects. Use the metadata.ownerReferences item that has controller set to true to determine which controller, if any, owns an object. (#54445, @crimsonfaith91)
  • Fix overlay2 container disk metrics for Docker and CRI-O (#54827, @dashpole)
  • Fix iptables FORWARD policy for Docker 1.13 in kubernetes-worker charm (#54796, @Cynerva)
  • Fix kubeadm upgrade plan for offline operation: ignore errors when trying to fetch latest versions from dl.k8s.io (#54016, @praseodym)
  • fluentd now supports CRI log format. (#54777, @Random-Liu)
  • Validate that PersistentVolumeSource is not changed during PV Update (#54761, @ianchakeres)
  • If you are using the cloud provider API to determine the external host address of the apiserver, set --external-hostname explicitly instead. The cloud provider detection has been deprecated and will be removed in the future (#54516, @dims)
  • Fixes discovery information for scale subresources in the apps API group (#54683, @liggitt)
  • Optimize Repeated registration of AlgorithmProvider when ApplyFeatureGates (#54047, @kuramal)
  • kubectl get will by default fetch large lists of resources in chunks of up to 500 items rather than requesting all resources up front from the server. This reduces the perceived latency of managing large clusters since the server returns the first set of results to the client much more quickly. A new flag --chunk-size=SIZE may be used to alter the number of items or disable this feature when 0 is passed. This is a beta feature. (#53768, @smarterclayton)
  • Add a new feature gate for enabling an alpha annotation which, if present, excludes the annotated node from being added to a service load balancers. (#54644, @brendandburns)
  • Implement graceful shutdown of the kube-apiserver by waiting for open connections to finish before exiting. Moreover, the audit backend will stop dropping events on shutdown. (#53695, @hzxuzhonghu)

  • Add Windows support to the system verification check (#53730, @bsteciuk)
  • allow windows mount path (#51240, @andyzhangx)
  • Development of Kubernetes Federation has moved to github.com/kubernetes/federation. This move out of tree also means that Federation will begin releasing separately from Kubernetes. The impact of this is Federation-specific behavior will no longer be included in kubectl, kubefed will no longer be released as part of Kubernetes, and the Federation servers will no longer be included in the hyperkube binary and image. (#53816, @marun)

Changelog since v1.8.0-alpha.3

Action Required

  • New GCE or GKE clusters created with cluster/kube-up.sh will not enable the legacy ABAC authorizer by default. If you would like to enable the legacy ABAC authorizer, export ENABLE_LEGACY_ABAC=true before running cluster/kube-up.sh. (#51367, @cjcullen)
  • The OwnerReferencesPermissionEnforcement admission plugin now requires update permission on the finalizers subresource of the referenced owner in order to set blockOwnerDeletion on an owner reference. (#49133, @deads2k)
  • The deprecated alpha and beta initContainer annotations are no longer supported. Init containers must be specified using the initContainers field in the pod spec. (#51816, @liggitt)
  • Action required: validation rule on metadata.initializers.pending[x].name is tightened. The initializer name needs to contain at least three segments separated by dots. If you create objects with pending initializers, (i.e., not relying on apiserver adding pending initializers according to initializerconfiguration), you need to update the initializer name in existing objects and in configuration files to comply to the new validation rule. (#51283, @caesarxuchao)
  • Audit policy supports matching subresources and resource names, but the top level resource no longer matches the subresouce. For example "pods" no longer matches requests to the logs subresource of pods. Use "pods/logs" to match subresources. (#48836, @ericchiang)
  • Protobuf serialization does not distinguish between [] and null. (#45294, @liggitt)
    • API fields previously capable of storing and returning either [] and null via JSON API requests (for example, the Endpoints subsets field) can now store only null when created using the protobuf content-type or stored in etcd using protobuf serialization (the default in 1.6+). JSON API clients should tolerate null values for such fields, and treat null and [] as equivalent in meaning unless specifically documented otherwise for a particular field.

Other notable changes

  • PersistentVolumeLabel admission controller is now deprecated. (#52618, @dims)
  • Mark the LBaaS v1 of OpenStack cloud provider deprecated. (#52821, @FengyunPan)
  • NONE (#52819, @verult)

  • Adds ROTATE_CERTIFICATES environment variable to kube-up.sh script for GCE (#52115, @jcbsmpsn)
    • clusters. When that var is set to true, the command line flag enabling kubelet
    • client certificate rotation will be added to the kubelet command line.
  • Make sure that resources being updated are handled correctly by Quota system (#52452, @gnufied)
  • WATCHLIST calls are now reported as WATCH verbs in prometheus for the apiserver_request_* series. A new "scope" label is added to all apiserver_request_* values that is either 'cluster', 'resource', or 'namespace' depending on which level the query is performed at. (#52237, @smarterclayton)
  • Fixed the webhook admission plugin so that it works even if the apiserver and the nodes are in two networks (e.g., in GKE). (#50476, @caesarxuchao)
    • Fixed the webhook admission plugin so that webhook author could use the DNS name of the service as the CommonName when generating the server cert for the webhook.
    • Action required:
    • Anyone who generated server cert for admission webhooks need to regenerate the cert. Previously, when generating server cert for the admission webhook, the CN value doesn't matter. Now you must set it to the DNS name of the webhook service, i.e., <service.Name>.<service.Namespace>.svc.
  • Ignore pods marked for deletion that exceed their grace period in ResourceQuota (#46542, @derekwaynecarr)
  • custom resources that use unconventional pluralization now work properly with kubectl and garbage collection (#50012, @deads2k)

    • The kube-cloud-controller-manager flag --use-service-account-credentials is now honored consistently, regardless of whether --service-account-private-key-file was specified.
  • Fix credentials providers for docker sandbox image. (#51870, @feiskyer)
  • NONE (#52120, @abgworrall)

    • Signing Request API.
  • Adding German translation for kubectl (#51867, @Steffen911)
  • The ScaleIO volume plugin can now read the SDC GUID value as node label scaleio.sdcGuid; if binary drv_cfg is not installed, the plugin will still work properly; if node label not found, it defaults to drv_cfg if installed. (#50780, @vladimirvivien)
  • A policy with 0 rules should return an error (#51782, @charrywanganthony)
  • Log a warning when --audit-policy-file not passed to apiserver (#52071, @CaoShuFeng)

  • Implement StatsProvider interface using CRI stats (#51557, @yguo0905)
  • set AdvancedAuditing feature gate to true by default (#51943, @CaoShuFeng)
  • Migrate the metrics/v1alpha1 API to metrics/v1beta1. The HorizontalPodAutoscaler (#51653, @DirectXMan12)
    • controller REST client now uses that version. For v1beta1, the API is now known as
    • resource-metrics.metrics.k8s.io.
  • In GCE with COS, increase TasksMax for Docker service to raise cap on number of threads/processes used by containers. (#51986, @yujuhong)
  • Fixes an issue with APIService auto-registration affecting rolling HA apiserver restarts that add or remove API groups being served. (#51921, @liggitt)
  • Sharing a PID namespace between containers in a pod is disabled by default in 1.8. To enable for a node, use the --docker-disable-shared-pid=false kubelet flag. Note that PID namespace sharing requires docker >= 1.13.1. (#51634, @verb)
  • Build test targets for all server platforms (#51873, @luxas)
  • Add EgressRule to NetworkPolicy (#51351, @cmluciano)

However, all new code should be developed against the apps/v1beta2 group version. (#51828, @kow3ns)
  • kubeadm: Detect kubelet readiness and error out if the kubelet is unhealthy (#51369, @luxas)

  • The names generated for ControllerRevision and ReplicaSet are consistent with the GenerateName functionality of the API Server and will not contain "bad words". (#51538, @kow3ns)
  • PersistentVolumeClaim metrics like "volume_stats_inodes" and "volume_stats_capacity_bytes" are now reported via kubelet prometheus (#51553, @wongma7)
  • When using IP aliases, use a secondary range rather than subnetwork to reserve cluster IPs. (#51690, @bowei)
  • IPAM controller unifies handling of node pod CIDR range allocation. (#51374, @bowei)
    • It is intended to supersede the logic that is currently in range_allocator
    • and cloud_cidr_allocator. (ALPHA FEATURE)
    • Note: for this change, the other allocators still exist and are the default.
    • It supports two modes:
      • CIDR range allocations done within the cluster that are then propagated out to the cloud provider.
      • Cloud provider managed IPAM that is then reflected into the cluster.
  • The Kubernetes API server now supports the ability to break large LIST calls into multiple smaller chunks. A client can specify a limit to the number of results to return, and if more results exist a token will be returned that allows the client to continue the previous list call repeatedly until all results are retrieved. The resulting list is identical to a list call that does not perform chunking thanks to capabilities provided by etcd3. This allows the server to use less memory and CPU responding with very large lists. This feature is gated as APIListChunking and is not enabled by default. The 1.9 release will begin using this by default from all informers. (#48921, @smarterclayton)
