Feature #566 enabling CoreDNS as the default for kube-up deployments was dropped from the release due to a scalability memory resource consumption issue observed. If a cluster operator is considering using CoreDNS on a cluster greater than 2000 nodes, it may be necessary to give more consideration to CoreDNS pod memory resource limits and experimentally measure that memory usage versus cluster resource availability.
kube-controller-manager currently needs a writable --cert-dir (default is /var/run/kubernetes) for generating self-signed certificates, when no --tls-cert-file or --tls-private-key-file are provided.
The system:kube-controller-manager ClusterRole lacks permission to get the configmap extension-apiserver-authentication. kube-controller-manager errors if run with a service account bound to the clusterrole.
Runtime handler and Windows npipe protocol are not supported yet in crictl v1.11.x. Those features will be supported in crictl v1.12.0, together with Kubernetes v1.12.1.
Major Themes
SIG API Machinery
SIG API work this cycle involved development of the "dry run" functionality, which enables users to see the results of a particular command without persisting those changes.
SIG-autoscaling
SIG Autoscaling focused on improving the Horizontal Pod Autoscaling API and algorithm:
We released autoscaling/v2beta2, which cleans up and unifies the API
We improved readiness detection and smoothing to work well in a larger variety or use cases
SIG-Azure
Sig Azure was focused on two primary new alpha features:
Adding Azure Availability Zones support to cloud provider.
Supporting Cross RG resources (disks, Azure File and node [Experimental]
Besides the above new features, support for Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets (VMSS) and Cluster-Autoscaler is now stable and considered GA:
Azure virtual machine scale sets (VMSS) allow you to create and manage identical load balanced VMs that automatically increase or decrease based on demand or a set schedule.
With this new stable feature, Kubernetes supports the scaling of containerized applications with Azure VMSS, including the ability to integrate it with cluster-autoscaler to automatically adjust the size of the Kubernetes clusters based on the same conditions.
SIG-cli
SIG CLI focused on implementing the new plugin mechanism, providing a library with common CLI tooling for plugin authors and further refactorings of the code.
SIG-cloud-provider
This is the first Kubernetes release for this SIG! In v1.12, SIG Cloud Provider focused on building the processes and infrastructure to better support existing and new cloud providers. Some of these initiatives (many of which are still in progress) are:
Reporting E2E conformance test results to TestGrid from every cloud provider (in collaboration with SIG Testing & SIG Release)
Defining minimum required documentation from each cloud provider which includes (in collaboration with SIG Docs):
example manifests for the kube-apiserver, kube-controller-manager, kube-schedule, kubelet, and the cloud-controller-manager
labels/annotations that are consumed by any cloud specific controllers
In addition to the above, SIG Cloud Provider has been focusing on a long running effort to remove cloud provider code from kubernetes/kubernetes.
SIG-cluster-lifecycle
In 1.12, SIG Cluster lifecycle has focused on improving the user experience in kubeadm, by fixing a number of bugs and adding some new important features.
Here is a list of some of the changes that have been made to kubeadm:
Kubeadm internal config has been promoted to v1alpha3:
v1alpha1 has been removed.
v1alpha3 has split apart MasterConfiguration into separate components; InitConfiguration, ClusterConfiguration, JoinConfiguration, KubeletConfiguration, and KubeProxyConfiguration
Different configuration types can be supplied all in the same file separated by ---.
Improved CRI handling
crictl is no longer required in docker-only setups.
Better detection of installed CRI.
Better output for image pull errors.
Improved air-gapped and offline support
kubeadm now handles air-gapped environments by using the local client version as a fallback.
Some kubeadm commands are now allowed to work in a completely offline mode.
Certificate handling improvements:
Renew certs as part of upgrade.
New kubeadm alpha phase certs renew command for renewing certificates.
Certificates created with kubeadm now have improved uniqueness of Distinguished Name fields.
HA improvements:
kubeadm join --experimental-control-plane can now be used to join control plane instances to an existing cluster.
kubeadm upgrade node experimental-control-plane can now be used for upgrading secondary control plane instances created with kubeadm join --experimental-control-plane.
Multi-arch support (EXPERIMENTAL):
kubeadm now adds support for docker “schema 2” manifest lists. This is preliminary part of the process of making kubeadm based k8s deployments to support multiple architectures.
Deprecating features:
The Alpha feature-gates HighAvailability, SelfHosting, CertsInSecrets are now deprecated, and will be removed in k8s v1.13.0.
SIG-ibmcloud
As a newly created SIG, the SIG-ibmcloud has mainly focused on SIG set up, sharing IBM Clouds ongoing Kubernetes work like scalability tests, Kubernetes upgrade strategy etc. with the SIG members and start working on processes to move cloud provider code to a public GitHub repo.
SIG-instrumentation
No feature work, but a large refactoring of metrics-server as well as a number of bug fixes.
SIG-node
SIG-node graduated the PodShareProcessNamespace feature from alpha to beta. This feature allows a pod spec to request that all containers in a pod share a common process namespaces.
Two alpha features were also added in this release.
The RuntimeClass alpha feature enables a node to surface multiple runtime options to support a variety of workload types. Examples include native linux containers, and “sandboxed” containers that isolate the container from the host kernel.
The CustomCFSQuotaPeriod alpha feature enables node administrators to change the default period used to enforce CFS quota on a node. This can improve performance for some workloads that experience latency while using CFS quota with the default measurement period. Finally, the SIG continues to focus on improving reliability by fixing bugs while working out design and implementation of future features.
SIG-OpenStack
SIG-OpenStack development was primarily focused on fixing bugs and improving feature parity with OpenStack resources. New features were primarily limited to the external provider in an effort to drive adoption of the OpenStack external provider over the in-tree provider.
In-tree bug fixes and improvements included:
Fix load balancer status without VIP.
Fix filtering of server status.
Fix resizing PVC of Cinder volume.
Disable load balancer configuration if it is not defined in cloud config.
Add support for node shutdown taint.
The external provider includes all of the above with the additional fixes and features:
Fix bug to prevent allocation of existing floating IP.
Fix Cinder authentication bug when OS_DOMAIN_NAME not specified.
Fix Keystone authentication errors by skipping synchronization for unscoped tokens.
Fix authentication error for client-auth-plugin
Fix dependency references from in-tree-provider to point to external provider.
Add shutdown instance by Provider ID.
Add annotation to preserve floating IP after service delete.
Add conformance testing to stable and development branches.
Add support support to Manilla for trustee authentication and supplying custom CAs.
Add and update documentation.
Add support to Manilla for provisioning existing shares.
Add cluster name to load balancer description
Add synchronization between Kubernetes and Keystone projects
Add use internal DNS name for 'hostname' of nodes.
Add support for CSI spec v0.3.0 for both Cinder and Manilla
Add 'cascade delete' support for Octavia load balancers to improve performance.
Add improved load balancer naming.
SIG-scheduling
SIG Scheduling development efforts have been primarily focused on improving performance and reliability of the scheduler.
Performance of the inter-pod affinity/anti-affinity feature is improved over 100X via algorithmic optimization.
DaemonSet pods, which used to be scheduled by the DaemonSet controller, will be scheduled by the default scheduler in 1.12. This change allows DaemonSet pods to enjoy all the scheduling features of the default scheduler.
The Image Locality priority function of the scheduler has been improved and is now enabled by default. With this feature enabled, nodes that have all or a partial set of images required for running a pod are preferred over other nodes, which improves pod start-up time.
TaintNodeByCondition has been moved to Beta and is enabled by default.
Scheduler throughput has been improved by ~50% in large clusters (>2000 nodes).
SIG-service-catalog
The Originating Identity feature, which lets the broker know which user that performed an action, is now GA.
Namespaced Brokers, which enable operators to install a broker into a namespace instead of the cluster level, reached GA.
The Service Plan Defaults feature is in alpha and is under active development. This feature gives operators the ability to define defaults for when someone provisions a service.
We have also Improved the CLI experience both for kubectl and svcat by improving the output formatting, and by adding more commands.
SIG-storage
SIG Storage promoted the Kubernetes volume topology feature to beta. This enables Kubernetes to understand and act intelligently on volume accessibility information (such as the “zone” a cloud volume is provisioned in, the “rack” that a SAN array is accessible from, and so on).
The dynamic maximum volume count feature was also moved to beta. This enables a volume plugin to specify the maximum number of a given volume type per node as a function of the node characteristics (for example, a larger limit for larger nodes, a smaller limit for smaller nodes).
SIG Storage also worked on a number of Container Storage Interface (CSI) features this quarter in anticipation of moving support for CSI from beta to GA in the next Kubernetes release. This includes graduating the dependent “mount namespace propagation” feature to GA, moving the Kubelet plugin registration mechanism to beta, adding alpha support for a new CSI driver registry as well as for topology, and adding a number of alpha features to support the use of CSI for “local ephemeral volumes” (that is, volumes that exist for the lifecycle of a pod and contain some injected information, like a token or secret).
With Kubernetes v1.12, SIG Storage also introduced alpha support for volume snapshotting. This feature introduces the ability to create/delete volume snapshots and create new volumes from a snapshot using the Kubernetes API.
SIG-vmware
SIG-VMware development was primarily focused on fixing bugs for the in-tree cloud provider, starting the development of the external cloud provider and taking ownership of the cluster-api provider for vSphere.
In-tree cloud provider bug fixes and improvements included:
Adding initial Zones support to the provider using vSphere Tags
Improving the testing harness for the cloud provider by introducing vcsim for automated testing
Fixing a bug that was preventing updates from 1.10 to 1.11
The external cloud provider was established and reached feature parity with in-tree, and we expect to stabilize it and have it as preferred deployment model by 1.13. We are also getting started on externalizing the vSphere volume functionalities in a CSI plugin to fully reproduce the current in-tree storage functionality.
The Cluster API effort is currently undergoing a complete rehaul of the existing codebase, moving off Terraform and into using govmomi directly.
SIG-windows
SIG Windows focused on stability and reliability of our existing feature set. We primarily fixed bugs as we march towards a near future stable release.
Action Required
etcd2 as a backend is deprecated and support will be removed in Kubernetes 1.13.
The --storage-versions flag of kube-apiserver is now deprecated. This flag should be omitted to ensure the default storage versions are used. Otherwise the cluster is not safe to upgrade to a version newer than 1.12. This flag will be removed in 1.13. (#68080, @caesarxuchao) Courtesy of SIG API Machinery
Volume dynamic provisioning scheduling has been moved to beta, which means that the DynamicProvisioningScheduling alpha feature gate has been removed but the VolumeScheduling beta feature gate is still required for this feature. (#67432, @lichuqiang) Courtesy of SIG Apps, SIG Architecture, SIG Storage, and SIG Testing

(#67737, @tallclair)
To address the possibility of dry-run requests overwhelming admission webhooks that rely on side effects and a reconciliation mechanism, a new field is being added to admissionregistration.k8s.io/v1beta1.ValidatingWebhookConfiguration and admissionregistration.k8s.io/v1beta1.MutatingWebhookConfiguration so that webhooks can explicitly register as having dry-run support. If a dry-run request is made on a resource that triggers a non dry-run supporting webhook, the request will be completely rejected, with "400: Bad Request". Additionally, a new field is being added to the admission.k8s.io/v1beta1.AdmissionReview API object, exposing to webhooks whether or not the request being reviewed is a dry-run. (#66936, @jennybuckley)
CRI now supports a "runtime_handler" field for RunPodSandboxRequest, used for selecting the runtime configuration to run the sandbox with (alpha feature). (#67518, @tallclair)
More fields are allowed at the root of the CRD validation schema when the status subresource is enabled. (#65357, @nikhita)
The --docker-disable-shared-pid kubelet flag has been removed. PID namespace sharing can instead be enable per-pod using the ShareProcessNamespace option. (#66506, @verb)
Added the --dns-loop-detect option to dnsmasq, which is run by kube-dns. (#67302, @dixudx)
Kubernetes now supports extra --prune-whitelist resources in kube-addon-manager. (#67743, @Random-Liu)
Graduate Resource Quota ScopeSelectors to beta, and enable it by default. (#67077, @vikaschoudhary16)
The OpenAPI spec and documentation now reflect the 202 Accepted response path for delete requests. Note that this change in the openapi spec may affect some clients that depend on the error paths. (#63418, @roycaihw)
The alpha Initializers admission plugin is no longer enabled by default. This matches the off-by-default behavior of the alpha API which drives initializer behavior. (#66039, @liggitt)
Adding validation to kube-scheduler at the API level (#66799, @noqcks)
DisruptedPods field in PodDisruptionBudget is optional instead of required. (#63757, @nak3)
Other Notable Changes
SIG API Machinery
kubectl get apiservice now shows the target service and whether the service is available (#67747, @smarterclayton)
Apiserver panics will now be returned as 500 errors rather than terminating the apiserver process. (#68001, @sttts)
API paging is now enabled for custom resource definitions, custom resources and APIService objects. (#67861, @liggitt)
To address the possibility dry-run requests overwhelming admission webhooks that rely on side effects and a reconciliation mechanism, a new field is being added to admissionregistration.k8s.io/v1beta1.ValidatingWebhookConfiguration and admissionregistration.k8s.io/v1beta1.MutatingWebhookConfiguration so that webhooks can explicitly register as having dry-run support.

kube-apiserver now includes all registered API groups in discovery, including registered extension API group/versions for unavailable extension API servers. (#66932, @nilebox)
kube-apiserver: setting a dryRun query parameter on a CONNECT request will now cause the request to be rejected, consistent with behavior of other mutating API requests. Examples of CONNECT APIs are the nodes/proxy, services/proxy, pods/proxy, pods/exec, and pods/attach subresources. Note that this prevents sending a dryRun parameter to backends via {nodes,services,pods}/proxy subresources. (#66083, @jennybuckley)
In clusters where the DryRun feature is enabled, dry-run requests will go through the normal admission chain. Because of this, ImagePolicyWebhook authors should especially make sure that their webhooks do not rely on side effects. (#66391, @jennybuckley)
Added etcd_object_count metrics for CustomResources. (#65983, @sttts)
The OpenAPI version field will now be properly autopopulated without needing other OpenAPI fields present in generic API server code. (#66411, @DirectXMan12)

kube- and cloud-controller-manager can now listen on ports up to 65535 rather than 32768, solving problems with operating systems that request these higher ports.. (#65860, @sttts)
LimitRange and Endpoints resources can be created via an update API call if the object does not already exist. When this occurs, an authorization check is now made to ensure the user making the API call is authorized to create the object. In previous releases, only an update authorization check was performed. (#65150, @jennybuckley)
More fields are allowed at the root of the CRD validation schema when the status subresource is enabled. (#65357, @nikhita)
api-machinery utility functions SetTransportDefaults and DialerFor once again respect custom Dial functions set on transports (#65547, @liggitt)

Added --authorization-always-allow-paths to components doing delegated authorization to exclude certain HTTP paths like /healthz from authorization. (#67543, @sttts)
Allow ImageReview backend to return annotations to be added to the created pod. (#64597, @wteiken)
Upon receiving a LIST request with an expired continue token, the apiserver now returns a continue token together with the 410 "the from parameter is too old" error. If the client does not care about getting a list from a consistent snapshot, the client can use this token to continue listing from the next key, but the returned chunk will be from the latest snapshot. (#67284, @caesarxuchao)

SIG Node
RuntimeClass is a new API resource for defining different classes of runtimes that may be used to run containers in the cluster. Pods can select a RunitmeClass to use via the RuntimeClassName field. This feature is in alpha, and the RuntimeClass feature gate must be enabled in order to use it. (#67737, @tallclair)
Sped up kubelet start time by executing an immediate runtime and node status update when the Kubelet sees that it has a CIDR. (#67031, @krzysztof-jastrzebski)
cpumanager will now rollback state if updateContainerCPUSet failed, indicating that the container start failed. This change will prevent CPU leaks. (#67430, @choury)
[CRI] RunPodSandboxRequest now has a runtime_handler field for selecting the runtime configuration to run the sandbox with. This feature is in alpha for 1.12.. (#67518, @tallclair)
If a container's requested device plugin resource hasn't registered after Kubelet restart, the container start will now fail.(#67145, @jiayingz)

RunAsGroup which has been broken since 1.10, now works. (#65926, @Random-Liu)
The systemd config files are now reloaded before kubelet starts, so changes can take effect(#65702, @mborsz)
Hostnames are now converted to lowercase before being used for node lookups in the kubernetes-worker charm. (#65487, @dshcherb)
kubelets that specify --cloud-provider now only report addresses in Node status as determined by the cloud provider (unless --hostname-override is used to force reporting of the specified hostname) (#65594, @liggitt)
Kubelet now exposes /debug/flags/v to allow dynamically setting glog logging level. For example, to change glog level to 3, you only have to send a PUT request like curl -X PUT http://127.0.0.1:8080/debug/flags/v -d "3". (#64601, @hzxuzhonghu)
SIG OpenStack
Openstack now supports the node shutdown taint. The taint is added when an instance is shutdown in openstack. (#67982, @zetaab)
SIG Scheduling
The equivalence class cache has been redesigned to be a two level cache, resulting in a significant increase in scheduling throughput and performance. (#65714, @resouer)
kube-scheduler can now listen on ports up to 65535, correcting a problem with certain operating systems that request ports greater than 32768. (#65833, @sttts)
Performance of the anti-affinity predicate of the default scheduler has been improved. (#66948, @mohamed-mehany)
The unreachable taint gets applied to a node when it loses its network connection. (#67734, @Huang-Wei)

SIG Storage
The AllowedTopologies field inside StorageClass is now validated against set and map semantics. Specifically, there cannot be duplicate TopologySelectorTerms, MatchLabelExpressions keys, or TopologySelectorLabelRequirement Values. (#66843, @verult)
A PersistentVolumeClaim may not have been synced to the controller local cache in time if the PersistentVolumeis bound by an external PV binder (such as kube-scheduler), so Kubernetes will now double check if PVC is not found in order to prevent the volume from being incorrectly reclaimed. (#67062, @cofyc)
Filesystems will now be properly unmounted when a backend is not reachable and returns EIO. (#67097, @chakri-nelluri)
The logic for attaching volumes has been changed so that attachdetach controller attaches volumes immediately when a Pod's PVCs are bound, preventing a problem that caused pods to have extremely long startup times. (#66863, @cofyc)
Dynamic provisions that create iSCSI PVs can now ensure that multipath is used by specifying 2 or more target portals in the PV, which will cause kubelet to wait up to 10 seconds for the multipath device. PVs with just one portal continue to work as before, with kubelet not waiting for the multipath device and just using the first disk it finds. (#67140, @bswartz)
ScaleIO volumes can now be provisioned without having to first manually create /dev/disk/by-id path on each kubernetes node (if not already present). (#66174, @ddebroy)

(#64527, @gnufied)
Added support to restore a volume from a volume snapshot data source. (#67087, @xing-yang)
When attaching iSCSI volumes, kubelet now scans only the specific LUNs being attached, and also deletes them after detaching. This avoids dangling references to LUNs that no longer exist, which used to be the cause of random I/O errors/timeouts in kernel logs, slowdowns during block-device related operations, and very rare cases of data corruption.
(#63176, @bswartz)
Both directory and block devices are now supported for local volume plugin FileSystem VolumeMode. (#63011, @NickrenREN)
CSI NodePublish call can optionally contain information about the pod that requested the CSI volume. (#67945, @jsafrane)

To address the possibility dry-run requests overwhelming admission webhooks that rely on side effects and a reconciliation mechanism, a new field is being added to admissionregistration.k8s.io/v1beta1.ValidatingWebhookConfiguration and admissionregistration.k8s.io/v1beta1.MutatingWebhookConfiguration so that webhooks can explicitly register as having dry-run support. If a dry-run request is made on a resource that triggers a non dry-run supporting webhook, the request will be completely rejected, with "400: Bad Request". Additionally, a new field is being added to the admission.k8s.io/v1beta1.AdmissionReview API object, exposing to webhooks whether or not the request being reviewed is a dry-run.

Fixed a bug that was blocking extensible error handling when serializing API responses error out. Previously, serialization failures always resulted in the status code of the original response being returned. Now, the following behavior occurs: (#67041, @tristanburgess)
If the serialization type is application/vnd.kubernetes.protobuf, and protobuf marshaling is not implemented for the requested API resource type, a '406 Not Acceptable is returned'.
If the serialization type is 'application/json':
- If serialization fails, and the original status code was an failure (e.g. 4xx or 5xx), the original status code will be returned.
- If serialization fails, and the original status code was not a failure (e.g. 2xx), the status code of the serialization failure will be returned. By default, this is '500 Internal Server Error', because JSON serialization is our default, and not supposed to be implemented on a type-by-type basis.

The watch API endpoints prefixed with /watch are deprecated and will be removed in a future release. These standard method for watching resources (supported since v1.0) is to use the list API endpoints with a ?watch=true parameter. All client-go clients have used the parameter method since v1.6.0. (#65147, @liggitt)
kube-apiserver: setting a dryRun query parameter on a CONNECT request will now cause the request to be rejected, consistent with behavior of other mutating API requests. Examples of CONNECT APIs are the nodes/proxy, services/proxy, pods/proxy, pods/exec, and pods/attach subresources. Note that this prevents sending a dryRun parameter to backends via {nodes,services,pods}/proxy subresources. (#66083, @jennybuckley)
In clusters where the DryRun feature is enabled, dry-run requests will go through the normal admission chain. Because of this, ImagePolicyWebhook authors should especially make sure that their webhooks do not rely on side effects. (#66391, @jennybuckley)
action required: the API server and client-go libraries have been fixed to support additional non-alpha-numeric characters in UserInfo "extra" data keys. Both should be updated in order to properly support extra data containing "/" characters or other characters disallowed in HTTP headers. (#65799, @dekkagaijin)

[action required] The formerly publicly-available cAdvisor web UI that the kubelet started using --cadvisor-port is now entirely removed in 1.12. The recommended way to run cAdvisor if you still need it, is via a DaemonSet. (#65707, @dims)
Default value for expendable pod priority cutoff in GCP deployment of Cluster Autoscaler changed from 0 to -10.
action required: users deploying workloads with priority lower than 0 may want to use priority lower than -10 to avoid triggering scale-up.

Please convert your v1alpha1 configuration files to v1alpha2 using the
kubeadm config migrate command of kubeadm v1.11.x
kube-apiserver: the Priority admission plugin is now enabled by default when using --enable-admission-plugins. If using --admission-control to fully specify the set of admission plugins, the Priority admission plugin should be added if using the PodPriority feature, which is enabled by default in 1.11. (#65739, @liggitt)
The system-node-critical and system-cluster-critical priority classes are now limited to the kube-system namespace by the PodPriority admission plugin. (#65593, @bsalamat)
kubernetes-worker juju charm: Added support for setting the --enable-ssl-chain-completion option on the ingress proxy. "action required": if your installation relies on supplying incomplete certificate chains and using OCSP to fill them in, you must set "ingress-ssl-chain-completion" to "true" in your juju configuration. (#63845, @paulgear)
In anticipation of CSI 1.0 in the next release, Kubernetes 1.12 calls the CSI NodeGetInfo RPC instead of NodeGetId RPC. Ensure your CSI Driver implements NodeGetInfo(...) before upgrading to 1.12. @saad-ali
Kubernetes 1.12 also enables Kubelet device plugin registration feature by default. Before upgrading to 1.12, ensure the driver-registrar CSI sidecar container for your CSI driver is configured to handle plugin registration (set the --kubelet-registration-path parameter on driver-registrar to expose a new unix domain socket to handle Kubelet Plugin Registration).

admin RBAC role now aggregates edit and view. edit RBAC role now aggregates view. (#66684, @deads2k)
Speed up HPA reaction to metric changes by removing scale up forbidden window. (#66615, @jbartosik)
Scale up forbidden window was protecting HPA against making decision to scale up based on metrics gathered during pod initialisation (which may be invalid, for example pod may be using a lot of CPU despite not doing any "actual" work).
To avoid that negative effect only use per pod metrics from pods that are:
ready (so metrics about them should be valid), or
unready but creation and last readiness change timestamps are apart more than 10s (pods that have formerly been ready and so metrics are in at least some cases (pod becoming unready because of overload) very useful).

LUNs being attached, and also deletes them after detaching. This avoids
dangling references to LUNs that no longer exist, which used to be the
cause of random I/O errors/timeouts in kernel logs, slowdowns during
block-device related operations, and very rare cases of data corruption.
