### API Change
- A new alpha feature gate, `MutableCSINodeAllocatableCount`, has been introduced.
  
  When this feature gate is enabled, the `CSINode.Spec.Drivers[*].Allocatable.Count` field becomes mutable, and a new field, `NodeAllocatableUpdatePeriodSeconds`, is available in the `CSIDriver` object. This allows periodic updates to a node's reported allocatable volume capacity, preventing stateful pods from becoming stuck due to outdated information that kube-scheduler relies on. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#130007](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130007), [@torredil](https://github.com/torredil)) [SIG Apps, Node, Scheduling and Storage]
- Added feature gate `DRAPartitionableDevices`, when enabled, Dynamic Resource Allocation support partitionable devices allocation. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#130764](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130764), [@cici37](https://github.com/cici37)) [SIG API Machinery, Architecture, Auth, CLI, Cloud Provider, Cluster Lifecycle, Instrumentation, Network, Node, Scheduling, Storage and Testing]
- Added DRA support for a "one-of" prioritized list of selection criteria to satisfy a device request in a resource claim. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#128586](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/128586), [@mortent](https://github.com/mortent)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Etcd, Node, Scheduling and Testing]
- Added a `/flagz` endpoint for kubelet endpoint ([kubernetes/kubernetes#128857](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/128857), [@zhifei92](https://github.com/zhifei92)) [SIG Architecture, Instrumentation and Node]
- Added a new `tolerance` field to HorizontalPodAutoscaler, overriding the cluster-wide default. Enabled via the HPAConfigurableTolerance alpha feature gate. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#130797](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130797), [@jm-franc](https://github.com/jm-franc)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Autoscaling, Etcd, Node, Scheduling and Testing]
- Added support for configuring custom stop signals with a new StopSignal container lifecycle ([kubernetes/kubernetes#130556](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130556), [@sreeram-venkitesh](https://github.com/sreeram-venkitesh)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Node and Testing]
- Added support for in-place vertical scaling of Pods with sidecars (containers defined within `initContainers` where the `restartPolicy` is set to `Always`). ([kubernetes/kubernetes#128367](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/128367), [@vivzbansal](https://github.com/vivzbansal)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, CLI, Node, Scheduling and Testing]
- CPUManager Policy Options support is GA ([kubernetes/kubernetes#130535](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130535), [@ffromani](https://github.com/ffromani)) [SIG API Machinery, Node and Testing]
- Changed the Pod API to support `hugepage resources` at `spec` level for pod-level resources. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#130577](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130577), [@KevinTMtz](https://github.com/KevinTMtz)) [SIG Apps, CLI, Node, Scheduling, Storage and Testing]
- DRA API: The maximum number of pods that can use the same ResourceClaim is now 256 instead of 32. Downgrading a cluster where this relaxed limit is in use to Kubernetes 1.32.0 is not supported, as version 1.32.0 would refuse to update ResourceClaims with more than 32 entries in the `status.reservedFor` field. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#129543](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/129543), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly)) [SIG API Machinery, Node and Testing]
- DRA: CEL expressions using attribute strings exceeded the cost limit because their cost estimation was incomplete. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#129661](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/129661), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly)) [SIG Node]
- DRA: Device taints enable DRA drivers or admins to mark device as unusable, which prevents allocating them. Pods may also get evicted at runtime if a device becomes unusable, depending on the severity of the taint and whether the claim tolerates the taint. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#130447](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130447), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Architecture, Auth, Etcd, Instrumentation, Node, Scheduling and Testing]
- DRA: Starting Kubernetes 1.33, only users with access to an admin namespace with the `kubernetes.io/dra-admin-access` label are authorized to create ResourceClaim or ResourceClaimTemplate objects with the `adminAccess` field in this admin namespace if they want to and only they can reference these ResourceClaims or ResourceClaimTemplates in their pod or deployment specs. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#130225](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130225), [@ritazh](https://github.com/ritazh)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth, Node and Testing]
- DRA: when asking for "All" devices on a node, Kubernetes <= 1.32 proceeded to schedule pods onto nodes with no devices by not allocating any devices for those pods. Kubernetes 1.33 changes that to only picking nodes which have at least one device. Users who want the "proceed with scheduling also without devices" semantic can use the upcoming prioritized list feature with one sub-request for "all" devices and a second alternative with "count: 0". ([kubernetes/kubernetes#129560](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/129560), [@bart0sh](https://github.com/bart0sh)) [SIG API Machinery and Node]
- Expanded the on-disk kubelet credential provider configuration to allow an optional `tokenAttribute` field to be configured. When it is set, the kubelet will provision a token with the given audience bound to the current pod and its service account. This KSA token along with required annotations on the KSA defined in configuration will be sent to the credential provider plugin via its standard input (along with the image information that is already sent today). The KSA annotations to be sent are configurable in the kubelet credential provider configuration. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#128372](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/128372), [@aramase](https://github.com/aramase)) [SIG API Machinery, Auth, Node and Testing]
- Fixed the example validation rule in godoc:
  
  When configuring a JWT authenticator:
  
  If username.expression uses 'claims.email', then 'claims.email_verified' must be used in
  username.expression or extra[*].valueExpression or claimValidationRules[*].expression.
  An example claim validation rule expression that matches the validation automatically
  applied when username.claim is set to 'email' is 'claims.?email_verified.orValue(true) == true'. 
  By explicitly comparing the value to true, we let type-checking see the result will be a boolean, 
  and to make sure a non-boolean `email_verified` claim will be caught at runtime. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#130875](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130875), [@aramase](https://github.com/aramase)) [SIG Auth and Release]
- For the `InPlacePodVerticalScaling` feature, the API server will no longer set the resize status to `Proposed` upon receiving a resize request. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#130574](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130574), [@natasha41575](https://github.com/natasha41575)) [SIG Apps, Node and Testing]
- Graduate the `MatchLabelKeys` (MismatchLabelKeys) feature in PodAffinity (PodAntiAffinity) to GA ([kubernetes/kubernetes#130463](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130463), [@sanposhiho](https://github.com/sanposhiho)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Node, Scheduling and Testing]
- Graduated image volume sources to beta:
    - Allowed `subPath`/`subPathExpr` for image volumes
    - Added kubelet metrics `kubelet_image_volume_requested_total`, `kubelet_image_volume_mounted_succeed_total` and `kubelet_image_volume_mounted_errors_total` ([kubernetes/kubernetes#130135](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130135), [@saschagrunert](https://github.com/saschagrunert)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Node and Testing]
- Implemented a new status field, `.status.terminatingReplicas`, for Deployments and ReplicaSets to track terminating pods. The new field is present when the `DeploymentPodReplacementPolicy` feature gate is enabled. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#128546](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/128546), [@atiratree](https://github.com/atiratree)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps and Testing]
- Implemented validation for `NodeSelectorRequirement` values in Kubernetes when creating pods. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#128212](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/128212), [@AxeZhan](https://github.com/AxeZhan)) [SIG Apps and Scheduling]
- Improved how the API server responds to **list** requests where the response format negotiates to Protobuf. List responses in Protobuf are marshalled one element at the time, drastically reducing memory needed to serve large collections. Streaming list responses can be disabled via the `StreamingCollectionEncodingToProtobuf` feature gate. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#129407](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/129407), [@serathius](https://github.com/serathius)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Architecture, Auth, CLI, Cloud Provider, Network, Node, Release, Scheduling, Storage and Testing]
- InPlacePodVerticalScaling: Memory limits cannot be decreased unless the memory resize restart policy is set to `RestartContainer`. Container resizePolicy is no longer mutable. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#130183](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130183), [@tallclair](https://github.com/tallclair)) [SIG Apps and Node]
- Introduced API type `coordination.k8s.io/v1beta1/LeaseCandidate`
  `CoordinatedLeaderElection` feature moves to Beta ([kubernetes/kubernetes#130751](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130751), [@Jefftree](https://github.com/Jefftree)) [SIG API Machinery, Etcd and Testing]
- Introduced API type `coordination.k8s.io/v1beta1/LeaseCandidate` ([kubernetes/kubernetes#130291](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130291), [@Jefftree](https://github.com/Jefftree)) [SIG API Machinery, Etcd and Testing]
- It introduces a new scope name `VolumeAttributesClass`. 
  
  It matches all PVC objects that have the volume attributes class mentioned. 
  
  If you want to limit the count of PVCs that have a specific volume attributes class. In that case, you can create a quota object with the scope name `VolumeAttributesClass` and a `matchExpressions` that match the volume attributes class. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#124360](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124360), [@carlory](https://github.com/carlory)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps and Testing]
- KEP-3857: Recursive Read-only (RRO) mounts: promote to GA ([kubernetes/kubernetes#130116](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130116), [@AkihiroSuda](https://github.com/AkihiroSuda)) [SIG Apps, Node and Testing]
- kubectl: Added alpha support for customizing kubectl behavior using preferences from a `kuberc` file, separate from `kubeconfig`. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#125230](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125230), [@ardaguclu](https://github.com/ardaguclu)) [SIG API Machinery, CLI and Testing]
- kubelet: added `KubeletConfiguration.subidsPerPod`. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#130028](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130028), [@AkihiroSuda](https://github.com/AkihiroSuda)) [SIG API Machinery and Node]
- Kubernetes components that accepted X.509 client certificate authentication now read the user UID from a certificate subject name RDN with object ID `1.3.6.1.4.1.57683.2`. An RDN with this object ID had to contain a string value and appear no more than once in the certificate subject. Reading the user UID from this RDN could be disabled by setting the beta feature gate `AllowParsingUserUIDFromCertAuth` to `false`(until the feature gate graduated to GA). ([kubernetes/kubernetes#127897](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127897), [@modulitos](https://github.com/modulitos)) [SIG API Machinery, Auth and Testing]
- `MergeDefaultEvictionSettings` indicates that defaults for the evictionHard, evictionSoft, evictionSoftGracePeriod, and evictionMinimumReclaim fields should be merged into values specified for those fields in this configuration. Signals specified in this configuration take precedence. Signals not specified in this configuration inherit their defaults. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#127577](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127577), [@vaibhav2107](https://github.com/vaibhav2107)) [SIG API Machinery and Node]
- New configuration is introduced to the kubelet that allows it to track container images and the list of authentication information that leads to their successful pulls. This data is persisted across reboots of the host and restarts of the kubelet.
  
  The kubelet ensures any image requiring credential verification is always pulled if authentication information from an image pull is not yet present, thus enforcing authentication / re-authentication. This means an image pull might be attempted even in cases where a pod requests the `IfNotPresent` image pull policy, and might lead to the pod not starting if its pull policy is `Never` and is unable to present authentication information that led to a previous successful pull of the image it is requesting. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#128152](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/128152), [@stlaz](https://github.com/stlaz)) [SIG API Machinery, Architecture, Auth, Node and Testing]
- Promoted JobSuccessPolicy E2E to Conformance ([kubernetes/kubernetes#130658](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130658), [@tenzen-y](https://github.com/tenzen-y)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Architecture and Testing]
- Promoted `NodeInclusionPolicyInPodTopologySpread` to Stable in v1.33 ([kubernetes/kubernetes#130920](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130920), [@kerthcet](https://github.com/kerthcet)) [SIG Apps, Node, Scheduling and Testing]
- Promoted the `JobSuccessPolicy` to Stable. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#130536](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130536), [@tenzen-y](https://github.com/tenzen-y)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Architecture and Testing]
- Promoted the Job's `JobBackoffLimitPerIndex` feature-gate to stable. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#130061](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130061), [@mimowo](https://github.com/mimowo)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Architecture and Testing]
- Promoted the feature gate `AnyVolumeDataSource` to GA. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#129770](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/129770), [@sunnylovestiramisu](https://github.com/sunnylovestiramisu)) [SIG Apps, Storage and Testing]
- Removed general available feature gate `CPUManager`. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#129296](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/129296), [@carlory](https://github.com/carlory)) [SIG API Machinery, Node and Testing]
- Removed general available feature-gate `PDBUnhealthyPodEvictionPolicy`. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#129500](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/129500), [@carlory](https://github.com/carlory)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps and Auth]
- Start reporting swap capacity as part of `node.status.nodeSystemInfo`. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#129954](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/129954), [@iholder101](https://github.com/iholder101)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps and Node]
- Graduated the `MultiCIDRServiceAllocator` feature gate to stable, and the `DisableAllocatorDualWrite` feature gate to beta (disabled by default).
**Action required** for Kubernetes cluster administrators and for distributions that manage the cluster Service CIDR.
Kubernetes now allows users to define the cluster Service CIDR via an API object: ServiceCIDR.
Distributions or administrators of Kubernetes may want to control that new Service CIDRs added to the cluster do not overlap with other networks on the cluster, that only belong to a specific range of IPs. Administrators may also prefer to retain the existing behavior of only having one ServiceCIDR per cluster. You can use `ValidatingAdmissionPolicy` to achieve this. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#128971](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/128971), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea)) [SIG Apps, Architecture, Auth, CLI, Etcd, Network, Release and Testing]
- The `ClusterTrustBundle` API is moving to `v1beta1`.
  In order for the `ClusterTrustBundleProjection` feature to work on the kubelet side, the `ClusterTrustBundle` API must be available at `v1beta1` version and the `ClusterTrustBundleProjection` feature gate must be enabled. If the API becomes later after kubelet started running, restart the kubelet to enable the feature. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#128499](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/128499), [@stlaz](https://github.com/stlaz)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth, Etcd, Node, Storage and Testing]
- The Service trafficDistribution field, including the PreferClose option, has graduated
  to GA. Services that do not have the field configured will continue to operate
  with their existing behavior. Refer to the documentation
  https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/#traffic-distribution
  for more details. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#130673](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130673), [@gauravkghildiyal](https://github.com/gauravkghildiyal)) [SIG Apps, Network and Testing]
- The feature gate `InPlacePodVerticalScalingAllocatedStatus` is deprecated and no longer used. The `AllocatedResources` field in `ContainerStatus` is now guarded by the `InPlacePodVerticalScaling` feature gate. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#130880](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130880), [@tallclair](https://github.com/tallclair)) [SIG CLI, Node and Scheduling]
- The kube-controller-manager will set the `observedGeneration` field on pod conditions when the `PodObservedGenerationTracking` feature gate is set. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#130650](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130650), [@natasha41575](https://github.com/natasha41575)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Node, Scheduling, Storage, Testing and Windows]
- The kube-scheduler will set the `observedGeneration` field on pod conditions when the `PodObservedGenerationTracking` feature gate is set. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#130649](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130649), [@natasha41575](https://github.com/natasha41575)) [SIG Node, Scheduling and Testing]
- The kubelet will set the `observedGeneration` field on pod conditions when the `PodObservedGenerationTracking` feature gate is set. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#130573](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130573), [@natasha41575](https://github.com/natasha41575)) [SIG Apps, Node, Scheduling, Storage, Testing and Windows]
- The minimum value validation of ReplicationController's `replicas` and `minReadySeconds` fields have been migrated to declarative validation. The requiredness of both fields is also declaratively validated.
  If the `DeclarativeValidation` feature gate is enabled, mismatches with existing validation are reported via metrics.
  If the `DeclarativeValidationTakeover` feature gate is enabled, declarative validation is the primary source of errors for migrated fields. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#130725](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130725), [@jpbetz](https://github.com/jpbetz)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Architecture, CLI, Cluster Lifecycle, Instrumentation, Network, Node and Storage]
- The `resource.k8s.io/v1beta1` API is deprecated and will be removed in 1.36. Use `v1beta2` instead. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#129970](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/129970), [@mortent](https://github.com/mortent)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth, Etcd, Node, Scheduling and Testing]
- Validation now requires new StatefulSets with a `.spec.serviceName` field value to pass DNS1123 validation. Previously created StatefulSets with an invalid `.spec.serviceName` field value could not create any pods, and should be deleted.
  - Published OpenAPI for the StatefulSet schema is corrected to indicate the `.spec.serviceName` is optional. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#130233](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130233), [@soltysh](https://github.com/soltysh)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps and Testing]
- When the `PreferSameTrafficDistribution` feature gate is enabled, a new `trafficDistribution` value `PreferSameNode` is available, which attempts to always route Service connections to an endpoint on the same node as the client. Additionally, `PreferSameZone` is introduced as an alias for `PreferClose`. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#130844](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130844), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Network and Windows]
- When the `PodObservedGenerationTracking` feature gate was set, the kubelet populated `status.observedGeneration` to reflect the latest `metadata.generation` it observed for the pod. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#130352](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130352), [@natasha41575](https://github.com/natasha41575)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, CLI, Node, Release, Scheduling, Storage, Testing and Windows]
- When the `StrictIPCIDRValidation` feature gate is enabled, Kubernetes will be
  slightly stricter about what values will be accepted as IP addresses and network
  address ranges (“CIDR blocks”).
  
  In particular, octets within IPv4 addresses are not allowed to have any leading
  `0`s, and IPv4-mapped IPv6 values (e.g. `::ffff:192.168.0.1`) are forbidden.
  These sorts of values can potentially cause security problems when different
  components interpret the same string as referring to different IP addresses
  (as in CVE-2021-29923).
  
  This tightening applies only to fields in built-in API kinds, and not to
  custom resource kinds, values in Kubernetes configuration files, or
  command-line arguments.
  
  (When the feature gate is disabled, creating an object with such an invalid
  IP or CIDR value will result in a warning from the API server about the fact
  that it will be rejected in the future.) ([kubernetes/kubernetes#122550](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122550), [#128786](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/128786), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Network, Node, Scheduling and Testing]

- `kubectl apply` now coerces `null` values for labels and annotations in manifests to empty string values, 
consistent with typed JSON metadata decoding, rather than dropping all labels and annotations ([kubernetes/kubernetes#129257](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/129257), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG API Machinery]
- A new alpha feature gate, `MutableCSINodeAllocatableCount`, has been introduced.
  
  When this feature gate is enabled, the `CSINode.Spec.Drivers[*].Allocatable.Count` field becomes mutable, and a new field, `NodeAllocatableUpdatePeriodSeconds`, is available in the `CSIDriver` object. This allows periodic updates to a node's reported allocatable volume capacity, preventing stateful pods from becoming stuck due to outdated information that kube-scheduler relies on.

- New configuration is introduced to the kubelet that allows it to track container images and the list of authentication information that lead to their successful pulls . This data is persisted across reboots of the host and restarts of the kubelet.
  
  The kubelet ensures any image requiring credential verification is always pulled if authentication information from an image pull is not yet present, thus enforcing authentication / re-authentication. This means an image pull might be attempted even in cases where a pod requests the `IfNotPresent` image pull policy, and might lead to the pod not starting if its pull policy is `Never` and is unable to present authentication information that lead to a previous successful pull of the image it is requesting.

- When the `StrictIPCIDRValidation` feature gate is enabled, Kubernetes will be
  slightly stricter about what values will be accepted as IP addresses and network
  address ranges (“CIDR blocks”).
  
  In particular, octets within IPv4 addresses are not allowed to have any leading
  `0`s, and IPv4-mapped IPv6 values (e.g. `::ffff:192.168.0.1`) are forbidden.
  These sorts of values can potentially cause security problems when different
  components interpret the same string as referring to different IP addresses
  (as in CVE-2021-29923).
  
  This tightening applies only to fields in build-in API kinds, and not to
  custom resource kinds, values in Kubernetes configuration files, or
  command-line arguments.
  
  (When the feature gate is disabled, creating an object with such an invalid

- A new feature that allows unsafe deletion of corrupt resources has been added, it is disabled by default,
  and it can be enabled by setting the option `--feature-gates=AllowUnsafeMalformedObjectDeletion=true`.
  It comes with an API change, a new delete option `ignoreStoreReadErrorWithClusterBreakingPotential` has
  been introduced, it is not set by default, this maintains backward compatibility.
  In order to perform an unsafe deletion of a corrupt resource, the user must enable the option for the delete
  request. A resource is considered corrupt if it can not be successfully retrieved from the storage due to
  a) transformation error e.g. decryption failure, or b) the object failed to decode. Normal deletion flow is
  attempted first, and if it fails with a corrupt resource error then it triggers unsafe delete.
  In addition, when this feature is enabled, the 'details' field of 'Status' from the LIST response
  includes information that identifies the corrupt object(s).
  NOTE: unsafe deletion ignores finalizer constraints, and skips precondition checks.
  WARNING: this may break the workload associated with the resource being unsafe-deleted, if it relies on
  the normal deletion flow, so cluster breaking consequences apply. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#127513](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127513), [@tkashem](https://github.com/tkashem)) [SIG API Machinery, Etcd, Node and Testing]

- Revised the kubelet API Authorization with new subresources, that allow finer-grained authorization checks and access control for kubelet endpoints.
  Provided you enable the `KubeletFineGrainedAuthz` feature gate, you can access kubelet's `/healthz` endpoint by granting the caller `nodes/helathz` permission in RBAC.
  Similarly you can also access  kubelet's `/pods` endpoint to fetch a list of Pods bound to that node by granting the caller `nodes/pods` permission in RBAC.
  Similarly you can also access kubelet's `/configz` endpoint to fetch kubelet's configuration by granting the caller `nodes/configz` permission in RBAC.
  You can still access kubelet's `/healthz`, `/pods` and `/configz` by granting the caller `nodes/proxy` permission in RBAC but that also grants the caller permissions to exec, run and attach to containers on the nodes and doing so does not follow the least privilege principle.

- A new feature that allows unsafe deletion of corrupt resources has been added, it is disabled by default, 
  and it can be enabled by setting the option `--feature-gates=AllowUnsafeMalformedObjectDeletion=true`. 
  It comes with an API change, a new delete option `ignoreStoreReadErrorWithClusterBreakingPotential` has
  been introduced, it is not set by default, this maintains backward compatibility. 
  In order to perform an unsafe deletion of a corrupt resource, the user must enable the option for the delete
  request. A resource is considered corrupt if it can not be successfully retrieved from the storage due to
  a) transformation error e.g. decryption failure, or b) the object failed to decode. Normal deletion flow is
  attempted first, and if it fails with a corrupt resource error then it triggers unsafe delete.
  In addition, when this feature is enabled, the 'details' field of 'Status' from the LIST response 
  includes information that identifies the corrupt object(s).
  NOTE: unsafe deletion ignores finalizer constraints, and skips precondition checks.
  WARNING: this may break the workload associated with the resource being unsafe-deleted, if it relies on
  the normal deletion flow, so cluster breaking consequences apply. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#127513](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127513), [@tkashem](https://github.com/tkashem)) [SIG API Machinery, Etcd, Node and Testing]

- The default value for node-monitor-grace-period has been increased to 50s (earlier 40s) (Ref - https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/121793) ([kubernetes/kubernetes#126287](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126287), [@devppratik](https://github.com/devppratik)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps and Node]
- The resource/v1alpha3.ResourceSliceList filed which should have been named "metadata" but was instead named "listMeta" is now properly "metadata". ([kubernetes/kubernetes#126749](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126749), [@thockin](https://github.com/thockin)) [SIG API Machinery]
- The synthetic "Bookmark" event for the watch stream requests will now include a new annotation: `kubernetes.io/initial-events-list-blueprint`. THe annotation contains an empty, versioned list that is encoded in the requested format (such as protobuf, JSON, or CBOR), then base64-encoded and stored as a string. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#127587](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127587), [@p0lyn0mial](https://github.com/p0lyn0mial)) [SIG API Machinery]
- To enhance usability and developer experience, CRD validation rules now support direct use of (CEL) reserved keywords as field names in object validation expressions.
  Name format CEL library is supported in new expressions. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#126977](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126977), [@aaron-prindle](https://github.com/aaron-prindle)) [SIG API Machinery, Architecture, Auth, Etcd, Instrumentation, Release, Scheduling and Testing]

# v31.0.0

Kubernetes API Version: v1.31.0

# v31.0.0b1

Kubernetes API Version: v1.31.0

# v31.0.0a1

Kubernetes API Version: v1.31.0

### API Change
- 'ACTION REQUIRED: The Dynamic Resource Allocation (DRA) driver's DaemonSet
  must be deployed with a service account that enables writing ResourceSlice
  and reading ResourceClaim objects.'
   ([kubernetes/kubernetes#125163](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125163), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly)) [SIG Auth, Node and Testing]
- Add UserNamespaces field to NodeRuntimeHandlerFeatures ([kubernetes/kubernetes#126034](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126034), [@sohankunkerkar](https://github.com/sohankunkerkar)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps and Node]
- Added Coordinated Leader Election as Alpha under the `CoordinatedLeaderElection` feature gate. With the feature enabled, the control plane can use LeaseCandidate objects (coordination.k8s.io/v1alpha1 API group) to participate in a leader election and let the kube-apiserver select the best instance according to some strategy. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#124012](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124012), [@Jefftree](https://github.com/Jefftree)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth, Cloud Provider, Etcd, Node, Release, Scheduling and Testing]
- Added a `.status.features.supplementalGroupsPolicy` field to Nodes. The field is true when the feature is implemented in the CRI implementation (KEP-3619). ([kubernetes/kubernetes#125470](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125470), [@everpeace](https://github.com/everpeace)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Node and Testing]
- Added an `allocatedResourcesStatus` to each container status to indicate the health status of devices exposed by the device plugin. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#126243](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126243), [@SergeyKanzhelev](https://github.com/SergeyKanzhelev)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Node and Testing]
- Added support to the kube-proxy nodePortAddresses / --nodeport-addresses option to
  accept the value "primary", meaning to only listen for NodePort connections
  on the node's primary IPv4 and/or IPv6 address (according to the Node object).
  This is strongly recommended, if you were not previously using
  --nodeport-addresses, to avoid surprising behavior.
  (This behavior is enabled by default with the nftables backend; you would
  need to explicitly request `--nodeport-addresses 0.0.0.0/0,::/0` there to get
  the traditional "listen on all interfaces" behavior.) ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123105](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123105), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship)) [SIG API Machinery, Network and Windows]
- Added the feature gates `StrictCostEnforcementForVAP` and `StrictCostEnforcementForWebhooks` to enforce the strict cost calculation for CEL extended libraries. It is strongly recommended to turn on the feature gates as early as possible. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#124675](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124675), [@cici37](https://github.com/cici37)) [SIG API Machinery, Auth, Node and Testing]
- Changed how the API server handles updates to `.spec.defaultBackend` of Ingress objects.
  Server-side apply now considers `.spec.defaultBackend` to be an atomic struct.  This means that any field-owner who sets values in that struct (they are mutually exclusive) owns the whole struct. For almost all users this change has no impact; for controllers that want to change the default backend port from number to name (or vice-versa), this makes it easier. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#126207](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126207), [@thockin](https://github.com/thockin)) [SIG API Machinery]
- Component-base/logs: when compiled with Go >= 1.21, component-base will automatically configure the slog default logger together with initializing klog. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#120696](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120696), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly)) [SIG API Machinery, Architecture, Auth, CLI, Cloud Provider, Cluster Lifecycle, Instrumentation, Network, Storage and Testing]
- CustomResourceDefinition objects created with non-empty `caBundle` fields which are invalid or do not contain any certificates will not appear in discovery or serve endpoints until a valid `caBundle` is provided. Updates to CustomResourceDefinition are no longer allowed to transition a valid `caBundle` field to an invalid `caBundle` field, because this breaks serving of the existing CustomResourceDefinition. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#124061](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124061), [@Jefftree](https://github.com/Jefftree)) [SIG API Machinery]
- Dynamic Resource Allocation (DRA): Added a feature so the number of ResourceClaim objects can be limited per namespace and by the number of devices requested through a specific class via the v1.ResourceQuota mechanism. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#120611](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120611), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth, CLI, Etcd, Node, Release, Scheduling and Testing]
- Dynamic Resource Allocation (DRA): client-side validation of a ResourceHandle would have accepted a missing DriverName, whereas server-side validation then would have raised an error. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#124075](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124075), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))
- Dynamic Resource Allocation (DRA): in the `pod.spec.recourceClaims` array, the `source` indirection is no longer necessary. Instead of e.g. `source: resourceClaimTemplateName: my-template`, one can write `resourceClaimTemplateName: my-template`. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#125116](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125116), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth, Node, Scheduling and Testing]
- Enhanced the Dynamic Resource Allocation (DRA) with an updated version of the resource.k8s.io API group. The primary user-facing type remains the ResourceClaim, however significant changes have been made, resulting in the new version, v1alpha3, which is not compatible with the previous version. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#125488](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125488), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth, CLI, Cluster Lifecycle, Etcd, Node, Release, Scheduling, Storage and Testing]
- Fixed a 1.30.0 regression in OpenAPI descriptions of the `imagePullSecrets` and 
  `hostAliases` fields to mark the fields used as keys in those lists as either defaulted
  or required. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#124553](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124553), [@pmalek](https://github.com/pmalek))
- Fixed a 1.30.0 regression in openapi descriptions of `PodIP.IP`  and `HostIP.IP` fields to mark the fields used as keys in those lists as required. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#126057](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126057), [@thockin](https://github.com/thockin))
- Fixed a bug in the API server where empty collections of ValidatingAdmissionPolicies did not have an `items` field. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#124568](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124568), [@xyz-li](https://github.com/xyz-li)) [SIG API Machinery]
- Fixed a deep copy issue when retrieving the controller reference. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#124116](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124116), [@HiranmoyChowdhury](https://github.com/HiranmoyChowdhury)) [SIG API Machinery and Release]
- Fixed code-generator client-gen to work with `api/v1`-like package structure. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#125162](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125162), [@sttts](https://github.com/sttts)) [SIG API Machinery and Apps]
- Fixed incorrect "v1 Binding is deprecated in v1.6+" warning in kube-scheduler log. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#125540](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125540), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly)) [SIG API Machinery]
- Fixed the comment for the Job's managedBy field. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#124793](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124793), [@mimowo](https://github.com/mimowo)) [SIG API Machinery and Apps]
- Fixed the documentation for the default value of the `procMount` entry in `securityContext` within a Pod.
  The documentation was previously using the name of the internal variable `DefaultProcMount`, rather than the actual value, "Default". ([kubernetes/kubernetes#125782](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125782), [@aborrero](https://github.com/aborrero)) [SIG Apps and Node]
- Graduate PodDisruptionConditions to GA and lock ([kubernetes/kubernetes#125461](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125461), [@mimowo](https://github.com/mimowo)) [SIG Apps, Node, Scheduling and Testing]
- Graduated MatchLabelKeys/MismatchLabelKeys feature in PodAffinity/PodAntiAffinity to Beta. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123638](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123638), [@sanposhiho](https://github.com/sanposhiho)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Scheduling and Testing]
- Graduated `JobPodFailurePolicy` to GA and locked it to it's default. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#125442](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125442), [@mimowo](https://github.com/mimowo)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Scheduling and Testing]
- Graduated the Job `successPolicy` field to beta.
  
  The new reason label, "SuccessPolicy" and "CompletionsReached" are added to the "jobs_finished_total" metric.
  Additionally, if you enable the `JobSuccessPolicy` feature gate, the Job gets "CompletionsReached" reason for the "SuccessCriteriaMet" and "Complete" condition type
  when the number of succeeded Job Pods (`.status.succeeded`) reached the desired completions (`.spec.completions`). ([kubernetes/kubernetes#126067](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126067), [@tenzen-y](https://github.com/tenzen-y)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps and Testing]
- Graduated the `DisableNodeKubeProxyVersion` feature gate to beta. By default, the kubelet no longer attempts to set the `.status.kubeProxyVersion` field for its associated Node. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123845](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123845), [@HirazawaUi](https://github.com/HirazawaUi)) [SIG API Machinery, Cloud Provider, Network, Node and Testing]
- Improved scheduling performance when many nodes, and prefilter returned 1-2 nodes (e.g. daemonset)
  
  For developers of out-of-tree PostFilter plugins, note that the semantics of NodeToStatusMap are changing: A node with an absent value in the NodeToStatusMap should be interpreted as having an UnschedulableAndUnresolvable status. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#125197](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125197), [@gabesaba](https://github.com/gabesaba))
- Introduced a new boolean kubelet flag `--fail-cgroupv1`. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#126031](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126031), [@harche](https://github.com/harche)) [SIG API Machinery and Node]
- K8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/util/runtime: Added support for new calls to handle panics and errors in the context where they occur. `PanicHandlers` and `ErrorHandlers` now must accept a context parameter for that. Log output is structured instead of unstructured. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#121970](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121970), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly)) [SIG API Machinery and Instrumentation]
- KEP-1880: Users of the new feature to add multiple service CIDR will use by default a dual-write strategy on the new ClusterIP allocators to avoid the problem of possible duplicate IPs allocated to Services when running skewed kube-apiservers using different allocators. They can opt-out of this behavior by enabled the feature gate DisableAllocatorDualWrite. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#122047](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122047), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Instrumentation and Testing]
- Kube-apiserver: Added Alpha features to allow API server authz to check the context of requests:
  - The `AuthorizeWithSelectors` feature gate enables including field and label selector information from requests in webhook authorization calls.
  - The `AuthorizeNodeWithSelectors` feature gate changes node authorizer behavior to limit requests from node API clients, so that each Node can only get / list / watch its own Node API object, and can also only get / list / watch Pod API objects bound to that node. Clients using kubelet credentials to read other nodes or unrelated pods must change their authentication credentials (recommended), adjust their usage, or obtain broader read access independent of the node authorizer. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#125571](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125571), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG API Machinery, Auth, Node, Scheduling and Testing]
- Kube-apiserver: ControllerRevision objects are now verified to contain valid JSON data in the `data` field. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#125549](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125549), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG API Machinery and Apps]
- Kube-apiserver: the `--encryption-provider-config` file is now loaded with strict deserialization, which fails if the config file contains duplicate or unknown fields. This protects against accidentally running with config files that are malformed, mis-indented, or have typos in field names, and getting unexpected behavior. When `--encryption-provider-config-automatic-reload` is used, new encryption config files that contain typos after the kube-apiserver is running are treated as invalid and the last valid config is used. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#124912](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124912), [@enj](https://github.com/enj)) [SIG API Machinery and Auth]
- Kube-controller-manager: the `horizontal-pod-autoscaler-upscale-delay` and `horizontal-pod-autoscaler-downscale-delay` flags have been removed (deprecated and non-functional since v1.12). ([kubernetes/kubernetes#124948](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124948), [@SataQiu](https://github.com/SataQiu)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps and Autoscaling]
- Made kube-proxy Windows service control manager integration (`--windows-service`) configurable in v1alpha1 component configuration via `windowsRunAsService` field. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#126072](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126072), [@aroradaman](https://github.com/aroradaman)) [SIG Network and Scalability]
- PersistentVolumeLastPhaseTransitionTime feature is stable and enabled by default. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#124969](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124969), [@RomanBednar](https://github.com/RomanBednar)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Storage and Testing]
- Promoted `LocalStorageCapacityIsolation` to beta; the behaviour is enabled by default. Within the kubelet, storage capacity isolation is active if the feature gate is enabled and the specific Pod is using a user namespace. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#126014](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126014), [@PannagaRao](https://github.com/PannagaRao)) [SIG Apps, Autoscaling, Node, Storage and Testing]
- Promoted `StatefulSetStartOrdinal` to stable. This means `--feature-gates=StatefulSetStartOrdinal=true` are not needed on kube-apiserver and kube-controller-manager binaries and they'll be removed soon following policy at https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/using-api/deprecation-policy/#deprecation. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#125374](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125374), [@pwschuurman](https://github.com/pwschuurman)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps and Testing]
- Promoted feature-gate `VolumeAttributesClass` to beta (disabled by default). Users need to enable the feature gate and the `storage.k8s.io/v1beta1` API group to use this feature.
  Promoted the VolumeAttributesClass API to beta. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#126145](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126145), [@carlory](https://github.com/carlory)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, CLI, Etcd, Storage and Testing]
- Removed deprecated command flags --volume-host-cidr-denylist
  and --volume-host-allow-local-loopback from kube-controller-manager.
   ([kubernetes/kubernetes#124017](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124017), [@carlory](https://github.com/carlory)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Cloud Provider and Storage]
- Removed feature gate `CustomResourceValidationExpressions`. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#126136](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126136), [@cici37](https://github.com/cici37)) [SIG API Machinery, Cloud Provider and Testing]
- Reverted a [change](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123513) where `ConsistentListFromCache` was moved to beta and enabled by default. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#126139](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126139), [@enj](https://github.com/enj))
- Revised the Pod API with Alpha support for volumes derived from OCI artifacts. This feature is behind the `ImageVolume` feature gate. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#125660](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125660), [@saschagrunert](https://github.com/saschagrunert)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps and Node]
- Supported fine-grained supplemental groups policy (KEP-3619), which enabled
  fine-grained control for supplementary groups in the first container processes.
  This allows you to choose whether to include groups defined in the container image (/etc/groups)
  for the container's primary UID or not. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#117842](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117842), [@everpeace](https://github.com/everpeace)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps and Node]
- The (alpha) nftables mode of kube-proxy now requires version 1.0.1 or later
  of the nft command-line, and kernel 5.13 or later. (For testing/development
  purposes, you can use older kernels, as far back as 5.4, if you set the
  `nftables.skipKernelVersionCheck` option in the kube-proxy config, but this is not
  recommended in production since it may cause problems with other nftables
  users on the system.) ([kubernetes/kubernetes#124152](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124152), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship)) [SIG Network]
- To enhance usability and developer experience, CRD validation rules now support direct use of (CEL) reserved keywords as field names in object validation expressions for existing expressions in storage, will fully support runtime in next release for compatibility concern. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#126188](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126188), [@cici37](https://github.com/cici37)) [SIG API Machinery and Testing]
- Updated the feature MultiCIDRServiceAllocator to beta (disabled by default). Users need to enable the feature gate and the networking v1beta1 group to be able to use this new feature, that allows to dynamically reconfigure Service CIDR ranges. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#125021](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125021), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, CLI, Etcd, Instrumentation, Network and Testing]
- Use omitempty for optional Job Pod Failure Policy fields. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#126046](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126046), [@mimowo](https://github.com/mimowo))
- User can choose a different static policy option `SpreadPhysicalCPUsPreferredOption` to spread cpus across physical cpus for some specific applications ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123733](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123733), [@Jeffwan](https://github.com/Jeffwan)) [SIG Node]
- When the featuregate AnonymousAuthConfigurableEndpoints is enabled users can update the AuthenticationConfig file with endpoints for with anonymous requests are alllowed. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#124917](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124917), [@vinayakankugoyal](https://github.com/vinayakankugoyal)) [SIG API Machinery, Auth, Cloud Provider, Node and Testing]
- Move ConsistentListFromCache feature flag to Beta and enable it by default ([kubernetes/kubernetes#126469](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126469), [@serathius](https://github.com/serathius)) [SIG API Machinery]
- Add Coordinated Leader Election as alpha under the CoordinatedLeaderElection feature gate. With the feature enabled, the control plane can use LeaseCandidate objects (coordination.k8s.io/v1alpha1 API group) to participate in a leader election and let the kube-apiserver select the best instance according to some strategy.

- Graduate the Job SuccessPolicy to Beta.
  
  The new reason label, "SuccessPolicy" and "CompletionsReached" are added to the "jobs_finished_total" metric.
  Additionally, If we enable the "JobSuccessPolicy" feature gate, the Job gets "CompletionsReached" reason for the "SuccessCriteriaMet" and "Complete" condition type
  when the number of succeeded Job Pods (".status.succeeded") reached the desired completions (".spec.completions"). ([kubernetes/kubernetes#126067](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126067), [@tenzen-y](https://github.com/tenzen-y)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps and Testing]

- Revert "Move ConsistentListFromCache feature flag to Beta and enable it by default" ([kubernetes/kubernetes#126139](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126139), [@enj](https://github.com/enj)) [SIG API Machinery]
- Revised the Pod API with alpha support for volumes derived from OCI artefacts.
  This feature is behind the `ImageVolume` feature gate. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#125660](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125660), [@saschagrunert](https://github.com/saschagrunert)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps and Node]
- The Ingress.spec.defaultBackend is now considered an atomic struct for the purposes of server-side-apply.  This means that any field-owner who sets values in that struct (they are mutually exclusive) owns the whole struct.  For almost all users this change has no impact.  For controllers which want to change port from number to name (or vice-versa), this makes it easier. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#126207](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126207), [@thockin](https://github.com/thockin)) [SIG API Machinery]
- To enhance usability and developer experience, CRD validation rules now support direct use of (CEL) reserved keywords as field names in object validation expressions for existing expressions in storage, will fully support runtime in next release for compatibility concern. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#126188](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126188), [@cici37](https://github.com/cici37)) [SIG API Machinery and Testing]
- Add UserNamespaces field to NodeRuntimeHandlerFeatures ([kubernetes/kubernetes#126034](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126034), [@sohankunkerkar](https://github.com/sohankunkerkar)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps and Node]
- Fixes a 1.30.0 regression in openapi descriptions of PodIP.IP  and HostIP.IP fields to mark the fields used as keys in those lists as required. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#126057](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126057), [@thockin](https://github.com/thockin)) [SIG API Machinery]
- Graduate JobPodFailurePolicy to GA and lock ([kubernetes/kubernetes#125442](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125442), [@mimowo](https://github.com/mimowo)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Scheduling and Testing]
- Graduate PodDisruptionConditions to GA and lock ([kubernetes/kubernetes#125461](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125461), [@mimowo](https://github.com/mimowo)) [SIG Apps, Node, Scheduling and Testing]
- PersistentVolumeLastPhaseTransitionTime feature is stable and enabled by default. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#124969](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124969), [@RomanBednar](https://github.com/RomanBednar)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Storage and Testing]
- The (alpha) nftables mode of kube-proxy now requires version 1.0.1 or later
  of the nft command-line, and kernel 5.13 or later. (For testing/development
  purposes, you can use older kernels, as far back as 5.4, if you set the
  `nftables.skipKernelVersionCheck` option in the kube-proxy config, but this is not
  recommended in production since it may cause problems with other nftables
  users on the system.) ([kubernetes/kubernetes#124152](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124152), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship)) [SIG Network]
- Use omitempty for optional Job Pod Failure Policy fields ([kubernetes/kubernetes#126046](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126046), [@mimowo](https://github.com/mimowo)) [SIG Apps]
- User can choose a different static policy option `SpreadPhysicalCPUsPreferredOption` to spread cpus across physical cpus for some specific applications ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123733](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123733), [@Jeffwan](https://github.com/Jeffwan)) [SIG Node]
- DRA: in the `pod.spec.recourceClaims` array, the `source` indirection is no longer necessary. Instead of e.g. `source: resourceClaimTemplateName: my-template`, one can write `resourceClaimTemplateName: my-template`. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#125116](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125116), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth, Node, Scheduling and Testing]
- Fix code-generator client-gen to work with `api/v1`-like package structure. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#125162](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125162), [@sttts](https://github.com/sttts)) [SIG API Machinery and Apps]
- KEP-1880: Users of the new feature to add multiple service CIDR will use by default a dual-write strategy on the new ClusterIP allocators to avoid the problem of possible duplicate IPs allocated to Services when running skewed kube-apiservers using different allocators. They can opt-out of this behavior by enabled the feature gate DisableAllocatorDualWrite ([kubernetes/kubernetes#122047](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122047), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Instrumentation and Testing]
- Kube-apiserver: ControllerRevision objects are now verified to contain valid JSON data in the `data` field. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#125549](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125549), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG API Machinery and Apps]
- Update the feature MultiCIDRServiceAllocator to beta (disabled by default). Users need to enable the feature gate and the networking v1beta1 group to be able to use this new feature, that allows to dynamically reconfigure Service CIDR ranges. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#125021](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125021), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, CLI, Etcd, Instrumentation, Network and Testing]
- When the featuregate AnonymousAuthConfigurableEndpoints is enabled users can update the AuthenticationConfig file with endpoints for with anonymous requests are alllowed.

- Fixed incorrect "v1 Binding is deprecated in v1.6+" warning in kube-scheduler log. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#125540](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125540), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly)) [SIG API Machinery]
- Added the feature gates `StrictCostEnforcementForVAP` and `StrictCostEnforcementForWebhooks` to enforce the strct cost calculation for CEL extended libraries. It is strongly recommended to turn on the feature gates as early as possible. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#124675](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124675), [@cici37](https://github.com/cici37)) [SIG API Machinery, Auth, Node and Testing]
- Component-base/logs: when compiled with Go >= 1.21, component-base will automatically configure the slog default logger together with initializing klog.

- DRA: client-side validation of a ResourceHandle would have accepted a missing DriverName, whereas server-side validation then would have raised an error. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#124075](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124075), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly)) [SIG Apps]
- Fix Deep Copy issue in getting controller reference ([kubernetes/kubernetes#124116](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124116), [@HiranmoyChowdhury](https://github.com/HiranmoyChowdhury)) [SIG API Machinery and Release]

- Graduated the `DisableNodeKubeProxyVersion` feature gate to beta. By default, the kubelet no longer attempts to set the `.status.kubeProxyVersion` field for its associated Node. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123845](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123845), [@HirazawaUi](https://github.com/HirazawaUi)) [SIG API Machinery, Cloud Provider, Network, Node and Testing]
- Improved scheduling performance when many nodes, and prefilter returns 1-2 nodes (e.g. daemonset)
  
  For developers of out-of-tree PostFilter plugins, note that the semantics of NodeToStatusMap are changing: A node with an absent value in the NodeToStatusMap should be interpreted as having an UnschedulableAndUnresolvable status ([kubernetes/kubernetes#125197](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125197), [@gabesaba](https://github.com/gabesaba)) [SIG Scheduling]
- K8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/util/runtime: new calls support handling panics and errors in the context where they occur. `PanicHandlers` and `ErrorHandlers` now must accept a context parameter for that. Log output is structured instead of unstructured. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#121970](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121970), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly)) [SIG API Machinery and Instrumentation]
- Kube-apiserver: the `--encryption-provider-config` file is now loaded with strict deserialization, which fails if the config file contains duplicate or unknown fields. This protects against accidentally running with config files that are malformed, mis-indented, or have typos in field names, and getting unexpected behavior. When `--encryption-provider-config-automatic-reload` is used, new encryption config files that contain typos after the kube-apiserver is running are treated as invalid and the last valid config is used. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#124912](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124912), [@enj](https://github.com/enj)) [SIG API Machinery and Auth]
- Kube-controller-manager removes deprecated command flags: --volume-host-cidr-denylist and --volume-host-allow-local-loopback ([kubernetes/kubernetes#124017](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124017), [@carlory](https://github.com/carlory)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Cloud Provider and Storage]
- Kube-controller-manager: the `horizontal-pod-autoscaler-upscale-delay` and `horizontal-pod-autoscaler-downscale-delay` flags have been removed (deprecated and non-functional since v1.12) ([kubernetes/kubernetes#124948](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124948), [@SataQiu](https://github.com/SataQiu)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps and Autoscaling]
- Support fine-grained supplemental groups policy (KEP-3619), which enables fine-grained control for supplementary groups in the first container processes. You can choose whether to include groups defined in the container image(/etc/groups) for the container's primary uid or not. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#117842](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117842), [@everpeace](https://github.com/everpeace)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps and Node]
- The kube-proxy nodeportAddresses / --nodeport-addresses option now
  accepts the value "primary", meaning to only listen for NodePort connections
  on the node's primary IPv4 and/or IPv6 address (according to the Node object).
  This is strongly recommended, if you were not previously using
  --nodeport-addresses, to avoid surprising behavior.
  
  (This behavior is enabled by default with the nftables backend; you would
  need to explicitly request `--nodeport-addresses 0.0.0.0/0,::/0` there to get
  the traditional "listen on all interfaces" behavior.) ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123105](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123105), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship)) [SIG API Machinery, Network and Windows]


# v30.1.0

**New Feature:**
- Add utility functions to parse and format [GEP-2257] Duration strings for Gateway API

[GEP-2257]: https://gateway-api.sigs.k8s.io/geps/gep-2257/

# v30.1.0b1

Kubernetes API Version: v1.30.1


# v30.1.0a1

Kubernetes API Version: v1.30.1

### API Change
- Fixes a 1.30.0 regression in openapi descriptions of imagePullSecrets and hostAliases fields to mark the fields used as keys in those lists as either defaulted or required. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#124553](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124553), [@pmalek](https://github.com/pmalek)) [SIG API Machinery]
- Fixes a 1.30.0 regression in openapi descriptions of imagePullSecrets and hostAliases fields to mark the fields used as keys in those lists as either defaulted or required. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#124694](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124694), [@pmalek](https://github.com/pmalek)) [SIG API Machinery]
- Added (alpha) support for the `managedBy` field on Jobs. Jobs with a custom value of this field - any value other than `kubernetes.io/job-controller` - were skipped by the job controller, and their reconciliation was delegated to an external controller, indicated by the value of the field. Jobs that didn't have this field at all, or where the field value was the reserved string `kubernetes.io/job-controller`, were reconciled by the built-in job controller.
   ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123273](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123273), [@mimowo](https://github.com/mimowo))
- Added alpha-level support for the SuccessPolicy in Jobs.
   ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123412](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123412), [@tenzen-y](https://github.com/tenzen-y))
- Added the `CEL` library for IP Addresses and CIDRs. This was made available for use starting from version `1.31`.
   ([kubernetes/kubernetes#121912](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121912), [@JoelSpeed](https://github.com/JoelSpeed))
- Allowed container runtimes to fix an image garbage collection bug by adding an `image_id` field to the CRI Container message.
   ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123508](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123508), [@saschagrunert](https://github.com/saschagrunert))
- Dynamic Resource Allocation: DRA drivers can now use "structured parameters" to let the scheduler handle claim allocation.
   ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123516](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123516), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))
- Fixed accidental enablement of the new alpha `optionalOldSelf` API field in `CustomResourceDefinition` validation rules, which should only have been allowed to be set when the `CRDValidationRatcheting` feature gate is enabled.
   ([kubernetes/kubernetes#122329](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122329), [@jpbetz](https://github.com/jpbetz))
- Implemented the `prescore` extension point for the `volumeBinding` plugin. It now returns skip if it doesn't do anything in Score.
   ([kubernetes/kubernetes#115768](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115768), [@AxeZhan](https://github.com/AxeZhan))
- Kubelet would fail if NodeSwap was used with LimitedSwap and cgroupv1 node.
   ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123738](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123738), [@kannon92](https://github.com/kannon92))
- Promoted `AdmissionWebhookMatchConditions` to GA. The feature is now stable, and the feature gate is now locked to default.
   ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123560](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123560), [@ivelichkovich](https://github.com/ivelichkovich))
- Structured Authentication Configuration now supports `DiscoveryURL`. If specified, `discoveryURL` overrides the URL used to fetch discovery information. This is for scenarios where the well-known and jwks endpoints are hosted at a different location than the issuer (such as locally in the cluster).
   ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123527](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123527), [@aramase](https://github.com/aramase))
- The `StorageVersionMigration` API, previously available as a Custom Resource Definition (CRD), is now a built-in API in Kubernetes.
   ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123344](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123344), [@nilekhc](https://github.com/nilekhc))
- When configuring a JWT authenticator:

  If `username.expression` used 'claims.email', then 'claims.email_verified' must have been used in `username.expression` or `extra[*].valueExpression` or `claimValidationRules[*].expression`. An example claim validation rule expression that matches the validation automatically applied when `username.claim` is set to 'email' is 'claims.?email_verified.orValue(true)'.
   ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123737](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123737), [@enj](https://github.com/enj))
- `readOnly` volumes now support recursive read-only mounts for kernel versions >= 5.12."
   ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123180](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123180), [@AkihiroSuda](https://github.com/AkihiroSuda))
- cri-api: Implemented KEP-3857: Recursive Read-only (RRO) mounts.
   ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123272](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123272), [@AkihiroSuda](https://github.com/AkihiroSuda))
- kube-apiserver: the AuthenticationConfiguration type accepted in `--authentication-config` files has been promoted to `apiserver.config.k8s.io/v1beta1`.
   ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123696](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123696), [@aramase](https://github.com/aramase))
- kubelet allowed specifying a custom root directory for pod logs (instead of the default /var/log/pods) using the `podLogsDir` key in kubelet configuration.
   ([kubernetes/kubernetes#112957](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112957), [@mxpv](https://github.com/mxpv))
- resource.k8s.io/ResourceClaim (alpha API): The strategic merge patch strategy for the `status.reservedFor` array was changed so that a strategic-merge-patch can now add individual entries. This change may break clients using strategic merge patch to update status, which rely on the previous behavior (replacing the entire array).
   ([kubernetes/kubernetes#122276](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122276), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))
- Added a CBOR implementation of `runtime.Serializer`. Until CBOR graduates to Alpha, API servers will refuse to start if configured with CBOR support. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#122881](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122881), [@benluddy](https://github.com/benluddy))
- Added a alpha feature, behind the `RelaxedEnvironmentVariableValidation` feature gate.
  When that gate is enabled, Kubernetes allows almost all printable ASCII characters to be used in the names
  of environment variables for containers in Pods. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123385](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123385), [@HirazawaUi](https://github.com/HirazawaUi))
- Added a new (alpha) field, `trafficDistribution`, to the Service `spec` to express preferences for traffic distribution to endpoints. Enabled through the `ServiceTrafficDistribution` feature gate. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123487](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123487), [@gauravkghildiyal](https://github.com/gauravkghildiyal))
- Added audienceMatchPolicy field to AuthenticationConfiguration and support for configuring multiple audiences.
  The "audienceMatchPolicy" can be empty (or unset) when a single audience is specified in the "audiences" field.
  The "audienceMatchPolicy" must be set to "MatchAny" when multiple audiences are specified in the "audiences" field. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123165](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123165), [@aramase](https://github.com/aramase))
- Added consistent vanity import to files and provided tooling for verifying and updating them. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#120642](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120642), [@jcchavezs](https://github.com/jcchavezs))
- Added the `disable-force-detach` CLI option for `kube-controller-manager`. By default, it's set to `false`. When enabled, it prevents force detaching volumes based on maximum unmount time and node status. If activated, the non-graceful node shutdown feature must be used to recover from node failure. Additionally, if a pod needs to be forcibly terminated at the risk of corruption, the appropriate VolumeAttachment object must be deleted. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#120344](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120344), [@rohitssingh](https://github.com/rohitssingh))
- Added to `MutableFeatureGate` the ability to override the default setting of feature gates, to allow default-enabling a feature on a component-by-component basis instead of for all affected components simultaneously. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#122647](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122647), [@benluddy](https://github.com/benluddy))
- Aggregated discovery supports both `v2beta1` and v2 types and feature is promoted to GA. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#122882](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122882), [@Jefftree](https://github.com/Jefftree))
- Alpha support for field selectors on custom resources has been added. With the `CustomResourceFieldSelectors` feature gate enabled, the CustomResourceDefinition API now allows specifying `selectableFields`. Listing a field there enables filtering custom resources for that CustomResourceDefinition in list or watch requests. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#122717](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122717), [@jpbetz](https://github.com/jpbetz))
- AppArmor profiles can now be configured through fields on the `PodSecurityContext` and container `SecurityContext`. The beta AppArmor annotations are deprecated, and AppArmor status is no longer included in the node ready condition. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123435](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123435), [@tallclair](https://github.com/tallclair))
- Contextual logging is now in beta and enabled by default. Check out the [KEP](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/3077) and [official documentation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/system-logs/#contextual-logging) for more details. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#122589](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122589), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))
- Enabled concurrent log rotation in kubelet. You can now configure the maximum number of concurrent rotations with the `containerLogMaxWorkers` setting, and adjust the monitoring interval with `containerLogMonitorInterval`. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#114301](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114301), [@harshanarayana](https://github.com/harshanarayana))
- Graduated pod scheduling gates to general availability.
  The `PodSchedulingReadiness` feature gate no longer has any effect, and the
  `.spec.schedulingGates` field is always available within the Pod and PodTemplate APIs. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123575](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123575), [@Huang-Wei](https://github.com/Huang-Wei))
- Graduated support for `minDomains` in pod topology spread constraints, to general availability.
  The `MinDomainsInPodTopologySpread` feature gate no longer has any effect, and the field is
  always available within the Pod and PodTemplate APIs. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123481](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123481), [@sanposhiho](https://github.com/sanposhiho))
- In kubelet configuration, the `.memorySwap.swapBehavior` field now accepts a new value `NoSwap`, which becomes the default if unspecified. The previously accepted `UnlimitedSwap` value has been dropped.
   ([kubernetes/kubernetes#122745](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122745), [@kannon92](https://github.com/kannon92))
- Kube-apiserver: the AuthorizationConfiguration type accepted in `--authorization-config` files has been promoted to `apiserver.config.k8s.io/v1beta1`. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123640](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123640), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))
- OIDC authentication will now fail if the username asserted based on a CEL expression config is the empty string.  Previously the request would be authenticated with the username set to the empty string. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123568](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123568), [@enj](https://github.com/enj))
- Removed note that `hostAliases` are not supported on hostNetwork Pods from the PodSpec API. The feature has been supported since v1.8. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#122422](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122422), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123))
- Structured Authentication Configuration now supports configuring multiple JWT authenticators. The maximum allowed JWT authenticators in the authentication configuration is 64. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123431](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123431), [@aramase](https://github.com/aramase))
- Text logging in Kubernetes components now uses [textlogger](https://pkg.go.dev/k8s.io/klog/v2@v2.120.0/textlogger). The same split streams of info and error log entries with buffering of info entries is now also supported for text output (off by default, alpha feature). Previously, this was only supported for JSON. Performance is better also without split streams. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#114672](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114672), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))
- The API server now detects and fails on startup if there are conflicting issuers between JWT authenticators and service account configurations. Previously, such configurations would run but could be inconsistently effective depending on the credential. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123561](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123561), [@enj](https://github.com/enj))
- The JWT authenticator configuration set via the `--authentication-config` flag is now dynamically reloaded as the file changes on disk. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123525](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123525), [@enj](https://github.com/enj))
- The `StructuredAuthenticationConfiguration` feature is now beta and enabled. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123719](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123719), [@enj](https://github.com/enj))
- The `kube_codegen` tool now ignores the vendor folder during code generation.
   ([kubernetes/kubernetes#122729](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122729), [@jparrill](https://github.com/jparrill))
- The kubernetes repo now uses Go workspaces.  This should not impact end users at all, but does have impact for developers of downstream projects.  Switching to workspaces caused some breaking changes in the flags to the various k8s.io/code-generator tools.  Downstream consumers should look at staging/src/k8s.io/code-generator/kube_codegen.sh to see the changes. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123529](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123529), [@thockin](https://github.com/thockin))
- Updated an audit annotation key used by the `…/serviceaccounts/<name>/token` resource handler.
  The annotation used to persist the issued credential identifier is now `authentication.kubernetes.io/issued-credential-id`. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123098](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123098), [@munnerz](https://github.com/munnerz)) [SIG Auth]
- Users are now allowed to mutate `FSGroupPolicy` and `PodInfoOnMount` in `CSIDriver.Spec`. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#116209](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116209), [@haoruan](https://github.com/haoruan))
- ValidatingAdmissionPolicy was promoted to GA and will be `enabled` by default. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123405](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123405), [@cici37](https://github.com/cici37))
- When scheduling a mix of pods using `ResourceClaims` and others that don't, scheduling a pod with `ResourceClaims` has a lower impact on scheduling latency. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#121876](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121876), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))
- When working with client-go events, it's now recommended to use `NewEventBroadcasterAdapterWithContext` instead of `NewEventBroadcasterAdapter` if contextual logging support is needed. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#122142](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122142), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))
- A new (alpha) field, `trafficDistribution`, has been added to the Service `spec`.
  This field provides a way to express preferences for how traffic is distributed to the endpoints for a Service.
  It can be enabled through the `ServiceTrafficDistribution` feature gate. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123487](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123487), [@gauravkghildiyal](https://github.com/gauravkghildiyal)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps and Network]
- Add alpha-level support for the SuccessPolicy in Jobs ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123412](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123412), [@tenzen-y](https://github.com/tenzen-y)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps and Testing]
- Added (alpha) support for the managedBy field on Jobs. Jobs with a custom value of this field - any
  value other than `kubernetes.io/job-controller` - are skipped by the job controller, and their
  reconciliation is delegated to an external controller, indicated by the value of the field. Jobs that
  don't have this field at all, or where the field value is the reserved string `kubernetes.io/job-controller`,
  are reconciled by the built-in job controller. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123273](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123273), [@mimowo](https://github.com/mimowo)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps and Testing]
- Added a alpha feature, behind the `RelaxedEnvironmentVariableValidation` feature gate.
  When that gate is enabled, Kubernetes allows almost all printable ASCII characters to be used in the names
  of environment variables for containers in Pods. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123385](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123385), [@HirazawaUi](https://github.com/HirazawaUi)) [SIG Apps, Node and Testing]
- Added alpha support for field selectors on custom resources.
  Provided that the `CustomResourceFieldSelectors` feature gate is enabled, the CustomResourceDefinition
  API now lets you specify `selectableFields`. Listing a field there allows filtering custom resources for that
  CustomResourceDefinition in **list** or **watch** requests. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#122717](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122717), [@jpbetz](https://github.com/jpbetz)) [SIG API Machinery]
- Added support for configuring multiple JWT authenticators in Structured Authentication Configuration. The maximum allowed JWT authenticators in the authentication configuration is 64. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123431](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123431), [@aramase](https://github.com/aramase)) [SIG Auth and Testing]
- Aggregated discovery supports both v2beta1 and v2 types and feature is promoted to GA ([kubernetes/kubernetes#122882](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122882), [@Jefftree](https://github.com/Jefftree)) [SIG API Machinery and Testing]
- Allowing container runtimes to fix an image garbage collection bug by adding an `image_id` field to the CRI Container message. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123508](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123508), [@saschagrunert](https://github.com/saschagrunert)) [SIG Node]
- AppArmor profiles can now be configured through fields on the PodSecurityContext and container SecurityContext.
  - The beta AppArmor annotations are deprecated.
  - AppArmor status is no longer included in the node ready condition ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123435](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123435), [@tallclair](https://github.com/tallclair)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth, Node and Testing]
- Conflicting issuers between JWT authenticators and service account config are now detected and fail on API server startup.  Previously such a config would run but would be inconsistently effective depending on the credential. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123561](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123561), [@enj](https://github.com/enj)) [SIG API Machinery and Auth]
- Dynamic Resource Allocation: DRA drivers may now use "structured parameters" to let the scheduler handle claim allocation. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123516](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123516), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth, CLI, Cluster Lifecycle, Instrumentation, Node, Release, Scheduling, Storage and Testing]
- Graduated pod scheduling gates to general availability.
  The `PodSchedulingReadiness` feature gate no longer has any effect, and the
  `.spec.schedulingGates` field is always available within the Pod and PodTemplate APIs. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123575](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123575), [@Huang-Wei](https://github.com/Huang-Wei)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Node, Scheduling and Testing]
- Graduated support for `minDomains` in pod topology spread constraints, to general availability.
  The `MinDomainsInPodTopologySpread` feature gate no longer has any effect, and the field is
  always available within the Pod and PodTemplate APIs. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123481](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123481), [@sanposhiho](https://github.com/sanposhiho)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Scheduling and Testing]
- JWT authenticator config set via the --authentication-config flag is now dynamically reloaded as the file changes on disk. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123525](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123525), [@enj](https://github.com/enj)) [SIG API Machinery, Auth and Testing]
- Kube-apiserver: the AuthenticationConfiguration type accepted in `--authentication-config` files has been promoted to `apiserver.config.k8s.io/v1beta1`. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123696](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123696), [@aramase](https://github.com/aramase)) [SIG API Machinery, Auth and Testing]
- Kube-apiserver: the AuthorizationConfiguration type accepted in `--authorization-config` files has been promoted to `apiserver.config.k8s.io/v1beta1`. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123640](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123640), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG Auth and Testing]
- Kubelet should fail if NodeSwap is used with LimitedSwap and cgroupv1 node. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123738](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123738), [@kannon92](https://github.com/kannon92)) [SIG API Machinery, Node and Testing]
- Kubelet: a custom root directory for pod logs (instead of default /var/log/pods) can be specified using the `podLogsDir`
  key in kubelet configuration. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#112957](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112957), [@mxpv](https://github.com/mxpv)) [SIG API Machinery, Node, Scalability and Testing]
- Kubelet: the `.memorySwap.swapBehavior` field in kubelet configuration accepts a new value `NoSwap` and makes this the default if unspecified; the previously accepted `UnlimitedSwap` value has been dropped. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#122745](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122745), [@kannon92](https://github.com/kannon92)) [SIG API Machinery, Node and Testing]
- OIDC authentication will now fail if the username asserted based on a CEL expression config is the empty string.  Previously the request would be authenticated with the username set to the empty string. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123568](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123568), [@enj](https://github.com/enj)) [SIG API Machinery, Auth and Testing]
- PodSpec API: remove note that hostAliases are not supported on hostNetwork Pods. The feature has been supported since v1.8. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#122422](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122422), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123)) [SIG API Machinery and Apps]
- Promote AdmissionWebhookMatchConditions to GA. The feature is now stable and the feature gate is now locked to default. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123560](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123560), [@ivelichkovich](https://github.com/ivelichkovich)) [SIG API Machinery and Testing]
- Structured Authentication Configuration now supports `DiscoveryURL`.
  discoveryURL if specified, overrides the URL used to fetch discovery information.
  This is for scenarios where the well-known and jwks endpoints are hosted at a different
  location than the issuer (such as locally in the cluster). ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123527](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123527), [@aramase](https://github.com/aramase)) [SIG API Machinery, Auth and Testing]
- Support Recursive Read-only (RRO) mounts  (KEP-3857) ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123180](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123180), [@AkihiroSuda](https://github.com/AkihiroSuda)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Node and Testing]

- The `StorageVersionMigration` API, which was previously available as a Custom Resource Definition (CRD), is now a built-in API in Kubernetes. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123344](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123344), [@nilekhc](https://github.com/nilekhc)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth, CLI and Testing]
- The kubernetes repo now uses Go workspaces.  This should not impact end users at all, but does have impact for developers of downstream projects.  Switching to workspaces caused some breaking changes in the flags to the various k8s.io/code-generator tools.  Downstream consumers should look at staging/src/k8s.io/code-generator/kube_codegen.sh to see the changes. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123529](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123529), [@thockin](https://github.com/thockin)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Architecture, Auth, CLI, Cloud Provider, Cluster Lifecycle, Instrumentation, Network, Node, Release, Storage and Testing]

- When configuring a JWT authenticator:

  If username.expression uses 'claims.email', then 'claims.email_verified' must be used in
  username.expression or extra[*].valueExpression or claimValidationRules[*].expression.
  An example claim validation rule expression that matches the validation automatically
  applied when username.claim is set to 'email' is 'claims.?email_verified.orValue(true)'. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123737](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123737), [@enj](https://github.com/enj)) [SIG API Machinery and Auth]
- Added a CBOR implementation of `runtime.Serializer`. Until CBOR graduates to Alpha, API servers will refuse to start if configured with CBOR support.

- Added audienceMatchPolicy field to AuthenticationConfiguration and support for configuring multiple audiences.

  - The "audienceMatchPolicy" can be empty (or unset) when a single audience is specified in the "audiences" field.
  - The "audienceMatchPolicy" must be set to "MatchAny" when multiple audiences are specified in the "audiences" field. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123165](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123165), [@aramase](https://github.com/aramase)) [SIG API Machinery, Auth and Testing]
- Contextual logging is now beta and enabled by default. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#122589](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122589), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly)) [SIG Instrumentation]

- Enabled a mechanism for concurrent log rotatation via `kubelet` using a configuration entity of `containerLogMaxWorkers` which controls the maximum number of concurrent rotation that can be performed and an interval configuration of `containerLogMonitorInterval` that can aid is configuring the monitoring duration to best suite your cluster's log generation standards. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#114301](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114301), [@harshanarayana](https://github.com/harshanarayana)) [SIG API Machinery, Node and Testing]
- Text logging in Kubernetes components now uses [textlogger](https://pkg.go.dev/k8s.io/klog/v2@v2.120.0/textlogger). The same split streams of info and error log entries with buffering of info entries is now also supported for text output (off by default, alpha feature). Previously, this was only supported for JSON. Performance is better also without split streams. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#114672](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114672), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly)) [SIG API Machinery, Architecture, Auth, CLI, Cloud Provider, Cluster Lifecycle, Instrumentation, Network, Node, Storage and Testing]
- This change adds the following CLI option for `kube-controller-manager`:
  - `disable-force-detach` (defaults to `false`): Prevent force detaching volumes based on maximum unmount time and node status. If enabled, the non-graceful node shutdown feature must be used to recover from node failure (see https://kubernetes.io/blog/2023/08/16/kubernetes-1-28-non-graceful-node-shutdown-ga/). If enabled and a pod must be forcibly terminated at the risk of corruption, then the appropriate VolumeAttachment object (see here: https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubernetes-api/config-and-storage-resources/volume-attachment-v1/) must be deleted. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#120344](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120344), [@rohitssingh](https://github.com/rohitssingh)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Storage and Testing]
- Updated an audit annotation key used by the `…/serviceaccounts/<name>/token` resource handler.
  The annotation used to persist the issued credential identifier is now `authentication.kubernetes.io/issued-credential-id`. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#123098](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123098), [@munnerz](https://github.com/munnerz)) [SIG Auth]

- Added to MutableFeatureGate the ability to override the default setting of feature gates, to allow default-enabling a feature on a component-by-component basis instead of for all affected components simultaneously. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#122647](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122647), [@benluddy](https://github.com/benluddy)) [SIG API Machinery and Cluster Lifecycle]
- Adds a rule on the kube_codegen tool to ignore vendor folder during the code generation. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#122729](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122729), [@jparrill](https://github.com/jparrill)) [SIG API Machinery and Cluster Lifecycle]

- Fixes accidental enablement of the new alpha `optionalOldSelf` API field in CustomResourceDefinition validation rules, which should only be allowed to be set when the CRDValidationRatcheting feature gate is enabled. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#122329](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122329), [@jpbetz](https://github.com/jpbetz)) [SIG API Machinery]
- Implement  `prescore` extension point for `volumeBinding` plugin. Return skip if it doesn't do anything in Score. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#115768](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115768), [@AxeZhan](https://github.com/AxeZhan)) [SIG Scheduling, Storage and Testing]
- Resource.k8s.io/ResourceClaim (alpha API): the strategic merge patch strategy for the `status.reservedFor` array was changed such that a strategic-merge-patch can add individual entries. This breaks clients using strategic merge patch to update status which rely on the previous behavior (replacing the entire array). ([kubernetes/kubernetes#122276](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122276), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly)) [SIG API Machinery]
- When scheduling a mixture of pods using ResourceClaims and others which don't, scheduling a pod with ResourceClaims impacts scheduling latency less.

- Added `UserNamespacesPodSecurityStandards` feature gate to enable user namespace support for Pod Security Standards.
  Enabling this feature will modify all Pod Security Standard rules to allow setting: `spec[.*].securityContext.[runAsNonRoot,runAsUser]`.
  This feature gate should only be enabled if all nodes in the cluster support the user namespace feature and have it enabled.
  The feature gate will not graduate or be enabled by default in future Kubernetes releases. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#118760](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118760), [@saschagrunert](https://github.com/saschagrunert)) [SIG API Machinery, Auth, Node and Release]

  - `PriorityLevelConfiguration`: the `.spec.limited.nominalConcurrencyShares` field defaults to `30` only if the field is omitted (v1beta3 also defaulted an explicit `0` value to `30`). Specifying an explicit `0` value is not allowed in the `v1` version in v1.29 to ensure compatibility with `v1.28` API servers. In `v1.30`, explicit `0` values will be allowed in this field in the `v1` API.
  The `flowcontrol.apiserver.k8s.io/v1beta3` APIs are deprecated and will no longer be served in v1.32. All existing objects are available via the `v1` APIs. Transition clients and manifests to use the `v1` APIs before upgrading to `v1.32`. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#121089](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121089), [@tkashem](https://github.com/tkashem))
- The `kube-proxy` command-line documentation was updated to clarify that
  `--bind-address` does not actually have anything to do with binding to an

- `kube-apiserver`: added `--authorization-config` flag for reading a configuration file containing an `apiserver.config.k8s.io/v1alpha1 AuthorizationConfiguration` object. The `--authorization-config` flag is mutually exclusive with `--authorization-modes` and `--authorization-webhook-*` flags. The `alpha` `StructuredAuthorizationConfiguration` feature flag must be enabled for `--authorization-config` to be specified. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#120154](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120154), [@palnabarun](https://github.com/palnabarun))
- `kube-proxy` now has a new nftables-based mode, available by running

      `kube-proxy --feature-gates NFTablesProxyMode=true --proxy-mode nftables`

  This is currently an alpha-level feature and while it probably will not
  eat your data, it may nibble at it a bit. (It passes e2e testing but has
  not yet seen real-world use.)

  At this point it should be functionally mostly identical to the iptables
  mode, except that it does not (and will not) support Service NodePorts on
  127.0.0.1. (Also note that there are currently no command-line arguments
  for the nftables-specific config; you will need to use a config file if
  you want to set the equivalent of any of the `--iptables-xxx` options.)

  As this code is still very new, it has not been heavily optimized yet;
  while it is expected to _eventually_ have better performance than the
  iptables backend, very little performance testing has been done so far. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#121046](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121046), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship))
- `kube-proxy`: Added an option/flag for configuring the `nf_conntrack_tcp_be_liberal` sysctl (in the kernel's netfilter conntrack subsystem).  When enabled, `kube-proxy` will not install the `DROP` rule for invalid conntrack states, which currently breaks users of asymmetric routing. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#120354](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120354), [@aroradaman](https://github.com/aroradaman))

([kubernetes/kubernetes#120954](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120954), [@HirazawaUi](https://github.com/HirazawaUi)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps and Node]
- Added Windows support for InPlace Pod Vertical Scaling feature. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#112599](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112599), [@fabi200123](https://github.com/fabi200123)) [SIG Autoscaling, Node, Scalability, Scheduling and Windows]
- Added `UserNamespacesPodSecurityStandards` feature gate to enable user namespace support for Pod Security Standards.
  Enabling this feature will modify all Pod Security Standard rules to allow setting: `spec[.*].securityContext.[runAsNonRoot,runAsUser]`.
  This feature gate should only be enabled if all nodes in the cluster support the user namespace feature and have it enabled.
  The feature gate will not graduate or be enabled by default in future Kubernetes releases. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#118760](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118760), [@saschagrunert](https://github.com/saschagrunert)) [SIG API Machinery, Auth, Node and Release]

- CSINodeExpandSecret feature has been promoted to GA in this release and enabled by default. The CSI drivers can make use of the `secretRef` values passed in NodeExpansion request optionally sent by the CSI Client from this release onwards. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#121303](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121303), [@humblec](https://github.com/humblec)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps and Storage]
- Graduate Job BackoffLimitPerIndex feature to Beta ([kubernetes/kubernetes#121356](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121356), [@mimowo](https://github.com/mimowo)) [SIG Apps]
- Kube-apiserver: adds --authorization-config flag for reading a configuration file containing an apiserver.config.k8s.io/v1alpha1 AuthorizationConfiguration object. --authorization-config flag is mutually exclusive with --authorization-modes and --authorization-webhook-* flags. The alpha StructuredAuthorizationConfiguration feature flag must be enabled for --authorization-config to be specified. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#120154](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120154), [@palnabarun](https://github.com/palnabarun)) [SIG API Machinery, Auth and Testing]
- Kube-proxy now has a new nftables-based mode, available by running

      kube-proxy --feature-gates NFTablesProxyMode=true --proxy-mode nftables

  This is currently an alpha-level feature and while it probably will not
  eat your data, it may nibble at it a bit. (It passes e2e testing but has

- The flowcontrol.apiserver.k8s.io/v1beta3 FlowSchema and PriorityLevelConfiguration APIs has been promoted to flowcontrol.apiserver.k8s.io/v1, with the following changes:
  - PriorityLevelConfiguration: the `.spec.limited.nominalConcurrencyShares` field defaults to `30` only if the field is omitted (v1beta3 also defaulted an explicit `0` value to `30`). Specifying an explicit `0` value is not allowed in the `v1` version in v1.29 to ensure compatibility with 1.28 API servers. In v1.30, explicit `0` values will be allowed in this field in the `v1` API.
  The flowcontrol.apiserver.k8s.io/v1beta3 APIs are deprecated and will no longer be served in v1.32. All existing objects are available via the `v1` APIs. Transition clients and manifests to use the `v1` APIs before upgrading to v1.32. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#121089](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121089), [@tkashem](https://github.com/tkashem)) [SIG API Machinery and Testing]
- The kube-proxy command-line documentation was updated to clarify that
  `--bind-address` does not actually have anything to do with binding to an
  address, and you probably don't actually want to be using it. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#120274](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120274), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship)) [SIG Network]

- When updating a CRD, per-expression cost limit check is skipped for x-kubernetes-validations rules of versions that are not mutated. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#121460](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121460), [@jiahuif](https://github.com/jiahuif)) [SIG API Machinery]
- Added a new `ipMode` field to the `.status` of Services where `type` is set to `LoadBalancer`.
  The new field is behind the `LoadBalancerIPMode` feature gate. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#119937](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119937), [@RyanAoh](https://github.com/RyanAoh)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Cloud Provider, Network and Testing]
- Fixed a bug where CEL expressions in CRD validation rules would incorrectly compute a high estimated cost for functions that return strings, lists or maps.
  The incorrect cost was evident when the result of a function was used in subsequent operations. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#119800](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119800), [@jpbetz](https://github.com/jpbetz)) [SIG API Machinery, Auth and Cloud Provider]

- ACTION_REQUIRED
  When an Indexed Job has a number of completions higher than 10^5 and parallelism higher than 10^4, and a big number of Indexes fail, Kubernetes might not be able to track the termination of the Job. Kubernetes now emits a warning, at Job creation, when the Job manifest exceeds both of these limits. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#118420](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118420), [@alculquicondor](https://github.com/alculquicondor)) [SIG Apps]

- Added new config option `delayCacheUntilActive` to `KubeSchedulerConfiguration` that can provide a tradeoff between memory efficiency and scheduling speed when their leadership is updated in `kube-scheduler` ([kubernetes/kubernetes#115754](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115754), [@linxiulei](https://github.com/linxiulei)) [SIG API Machinery and Scheduling]
- Changed how KMS v2 encryption at rest can generate data encryption keys.
  When you enable the `KMSv2KDF` feature gate (off by default), KMS v2 uses a key derivation function to generate single use data encryption keys from a secret seed combined with some random data. This eliminates the need for a counter based nonce while avoiding nonce collision concerns associated with AES-GCM's 12 byte nonce. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#118828](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118828), [@enj](https://github.com/enj))
- Exposed `rest.DefaultServerUrlFor` function. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#118055](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118055), [@timofurrer](https://github.com/timofurrer))

- Graduated `AdmissionWebhookMatchCondition` feature to beta. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#119380](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119380), [@a-hilaly](https://github.com/a-hilaly))
- If using cgroups v2, then the cgroup aware OOM killer will be enabled for container cgroups via  `memory.oom.group` .  This causes processes within the cgroup to be treated as a unit and killed simultaneously in the event of an OOM kill on any process in the cgroup. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#117793](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117793), [@tzneal](https://github.com/tzneal)) [SIG Apps, Node and Testing]
- In the API Priority and Fairness feature, priority levels that are exempt from limitation can now be given a nominal and a lendable concurrency and their dispatching borrows from the concurrency limits of the other priority levels.

- PersistentVolumes have a new `LastPhaseTransitionTime` field which holds a timestamp of when the volume last transitioned its phase. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#116469](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116469), [@RomanBednar](https://github.com/RomanBednar))
- Pods which set `hostNetwork: true` and declare ports, get the `hostPort` field set automatically. Previously this would happen in the PodTemplate of a Deployment, DaemonSet or other workload API.  Now `hostPort` will only be set when an actual Pod is being created.  If this presents a problem, setting the feature gate "DefaultHostNetworkHostPortsInPodTemplates" to true will revert this behavior.  Please file a kubernetes bug if you need to do this. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#117696](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117696), [@thockin](https://github.com/thockin)) [SIG Apps]
- Promoted API groups `ValidatingAdmissionPolicy` and `ValidatingAdmissionPolicyBinding` to `v1beta1`. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#118644](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118644), [@alexzielenski](https://github.com/alexzielenski)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps and Testing]

- Support for proxying a request to a peer kube-apiserver if the local apiserver is not able to serve it due to version skew or in the case the requested api is disabled on the local apiserver ([kubernetes/kubernetes#117740](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117740), [@Richabanker](https://github.com/Richabanker)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth, Cloud Provider, Network, Node and Testing]
- Supported `BackoffLimitPerIndex` in Jobs. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#118009](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118009), [@mimowo](https://github.com/mimowo))
- The `IPTablesOwnershipCleanup` feature (KEP-3178) is now GA; kubelet no longer
  creates the `KUBE-MARK-DROP` chain (which has been unused for several releases)
  or the `KUBE-MARK-MASQ` chain (which is now only created by kube-proxy). ([kubernetes/kubernetes#119374](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119374), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship))
- The `SelfSubjectReview` API is promoted to `authentication.k8s.io/v1` and the `kubectl auth whoami` command is GA. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#117713](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117713), [@nabokihms](https://github.com/nabokihms)) [SIG API Machinery, Architecture, Auth, CLI and Testing]
- The names of ResourceClaims generated from ResourceClaimTemplate are now generated. The base name is still `<pod>-<claim name>`, but a random suffix will avoid name collisions. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#117351](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117351), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth, Node, Scheduling and Testing]
- The new feature gate "SidecarContainers" is now available. This feature introduces sidecar containers, a new type of init container that starts before other containers but remains running for the full duration of the pod's lifecycle and will not block pod termination. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#116429](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116429), [@gjkim42](https://github.com/gjkim42)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Node, Scheduling and Testing]

  which need to do that. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#117108](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117108), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))
- `kube-controller-manager`: The `LegacyServiceAccountTokenCleanUp` feature gate
  is now available as alpha (off by default). When enabled, the `legacy-service-account-token-cleaner`
  controller loop removes service account token secrets that have not been used
  in the time specified by `--legacy-service-account-token-clean-up-period` (defaulting
  to one year), **and are** referenced from the `.secrets` list of a ServiceAccount
  object, **and are not** referenced from pods. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#115554](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115554), [@yt2985](https://github.com/yt2985))
- `kube-scheduler` component config (KubeSchedulerConfiguration) `kubescheduler.config.k8s.io/v1beta2`

- Changed how KMS v2 encryption at rest can generate data encryption keys. When you enable the `KMSv2KDF` feature gate (off by default), KMS v2 uses a key derivation function to generate single use data encryption keys from a secret seed combined with some random data.  This eliminates the need for a counter based nonce while avoiding nonce collision concerns associated with AES-GCM's 12 byte nonce.

- API: resource.k8s.io/v1alpha1.PodScheduling was renamed to resource.k8s.io/v1alpha2.PodSchedulingContext. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#116556](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116556), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth, CLI, Node, Scheduling and Testing]
- Added CEL runtime cost calculation into ValidatingAdmissionPolicy, matching the evaluation cost
  restrictions that already apply to CustomResourceDefinition.
  If rule evaluation uses more compute than the limit, the API server aborts the evaluation and the
  admission check that was being performed is aborted; the `failurePolicy` for the ValidatingAdmissionPolicy
  determines the outcome. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#115747](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115747), [@cici37](https://github.com/cici37))
- Added `auditAnnotations` to `ValidatingAdmissionPolicy`, enabling CEL to be used to add audit annotations to request audit events.
  Added `validationActions` to `ValidatingAdmissionPolicyBinding`, enabling validation failures to be handled by any combination of the warn, audit and deny enforcement actions. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#115973](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115973), [@jpbetz](https://github.com/jpbetz))
- Added `messageExpression` field to `ValidationRule`. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#115969](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115969), [@DangerOnTheRanger](https://github.com/DangerOnTheRanger))

- Added new option to the `InterPodAffinity` scheduler plugin to ignore existing
  pods` preferred inter-pod affinities if the incoming pod has no preferred inter-pod
  affinities. This option can be used as an optimization for higher scheduling throughput
  (at the cost of an occasional pod being scheduled non-optimally/violating existing
  pods preferred inter-pod affinities). To enable this scheduler option, set the
  `InterPodAffinity` scheduler plugin arg `ignorePreferredTermsOfExistingPods: true` ([kubernetes/kubernetes#114393](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114393), [@danielvegamyhre](https://github.com/danielvegamyhre))
- Added the `MatchConditions` field to `ValidatingWebhookConfiguration` and `MutatingWebhookConfiguration` for the v1beta and v1 apis.

  The `AdmissionWebhookMatchConditions` featuregate is now in Alpha ([kubernetes/kubernetes#116261](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116261), [@ivelichkovich](https://github.com/ivelichkovich)) [SIG API Machinery and Testing]

- Adds feature gate `NodeLogQuery` which provides cluster administrators with a streaming view of logs using kubectl without them having to implement a client side reader or logging into the node. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#96120](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96120), [@LorbusChris](https://github.com/LorbusChris))
- Api: validation of a `PodSpec` now rejects invalid `ResourceClaim` and `ResourceClaimTemplate` names. For a pod, the name generated for the `ResourceClaim` when using a template also must be valid. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#116576](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116576), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))
- Bump default API QPS limits for Kubelet. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#116121](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116121), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t))
- Enabled the `StatefulSetStartOrdinal` feature gate in beta ([kubernetes/kubernetes#115260](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115260), [@pwschuurman](https://github.com/pwschuurman))

   verbosity at runtime for JSON output. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#114609](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114609), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))
- Encryption of API Server at rest configuration now allows the use of wildcards in the list of resources.  For example, *.* can be used to encrypt all resources, including all current and future custom resources. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#115149](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115149), [@nilekhc](https://github.com/nilekhc))
- Extended the kubelet's PodResources API to include resources allocated in `ResourceClaims` via `DynamicResourceAllocation`. Additionally, added a new `Get()` method to query a specific pod for its resources. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#115847](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115847), [@moshe010](https://github.com/moshe010)) [SIG Node]
- Forbid to set matchLabelKeys when labelSelector is not set in topologySpreadConstraints ([kubernetes/kubernetes#116535](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116535), [@denkensk](https://github.com/denkensk))
- GCE does not support LoadBalancer Services with ports with different protocols (TCP and UDP) ([kubernetes/kubernetes#115966](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115966), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea)) [SIG Apps and Cloud Provider]
- GRPC probes are now a GA feature. `GRPCContainerProbe` feature gate was locked to default value and will be removed in v1.29. If you were setting this feature gate explicitly, please remove it now. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#116233](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116233), [@SergeyKanzhelev](https://github.com/SergeyKanzhelev))
- Graduated `Kubelet Topology Manager` to GA. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#116093](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116093), [@swatisehgal](https://github.com/swatisehgal))
- Graduated `KubeletTracing` to beta, which means that the feature gate is now enabled by default. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#115750](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115750), [@saschagrunert](https://github.com/saschagrunert))
- Graduated seccomp profile defaulting to GA.

  Set the kubelet `--seccomp-default` flag or `seccompDefault` kubelet configuration field to `true` to make pods on that node default to using the `RuntimeDefault` seccomp profile.

  Enabling seccomp for your workload can have a negative performance impact depending on the kernel and container runtime version in use.

  Guidance for identifying and mitigating those issues is outlined in the Kubernetes [seccomp tutorial](https://k8s.io/docs/tutorials/security/seccomp). ([kubernetes/kubernetes#115719](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115719), [@saschagrunert](https://github.com/saschagrunert)) [SIG API Machinery, Node, Storage and Testing]

  When `sendInitialEvents` `ListOption` is set together with `watch=true`, it begins the watch stream with synthetic init events followed by a synthetic "Bookmark" after which the server continues streaming events. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#110960](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/110960), [@p0lyn0mial](https://github.com/p0lyn0mial))
- Introduced API for streaming.

  Added `SendInitialEvents` field to the `ListOptions`. When the new option is set together with `watch=true`, it begins the watch stream with synthetic init events followed by a synthetic "Bookmark" after which the server continues streaming events. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#115402](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115402), [@p0lyn0mial](https://github.com/p0lyn0mial))
- Introduced a breaking change to the `resource.k8s.io` API in its `AllocationResult` struct. This change allows a kubelet plugin for the `DynamicResourceAllocation` feature to service allocations from multiple resource driver controllers. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#116332](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116332), [@klueska](https://github.com/klueska))
- Introduces new alpha functionality to the reflector, allowing user to enable API streaming.

  To activate this feature, users can set the `ENABLE_CLIENT_GO_WATCH_LIST_ALPHA` environmental variable.
  It is important to note that the server must support streaming for this feature to function properly.
  If streaming is not supported by the server, the reflector will revert to the previous method
  of obtaining data through LIST/WATCH semantics. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#110772](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/110772), [@p0lyn0mial](https://github.com/p0lyn0mial)) [SIG API Machinery]

- `resource.k8s.io/v1alpha1` was replaced with `resource.k8s.io/v1alpha2`. Before
  upgrading a cluster, all objects in resource.k8s.io/v1alpha1 (ResourceClaim, ResourceClaimTemplate,
  ResourceClass, PodScheduling) must be deleted. The changes are internal, so
  YAML files which create pods and resource claims don't need changes except for
  the newer `apiVersion`. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#116299](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116299), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))

- Added CEL runtime cost calculation into ValidatingAdmissionPolicy, matching the evaluation cost
  restrictions that already apply to CustomResourceDefinition.
  If rule evaluation uses more compute than the limit, the API server aborts the evaluation and the
  admission check that was being performed is aborted; the `failurePolicy` for the ValidatingAdmissionPolicy
  determines the outcome. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#115747](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115747), [@cici37](https://github.com/cici37)) [SIG API Machinery]

  The new API is now more flexible than the existing Device Plugins feature of Kubernetes because it
  allows Pods to request (claim) special kinds of resources, which can be available at node level, cluster

  with `scheme: HTTPS` that encounter errors indicating the endpoint is actually
  using HTTP fall back to making the request over HTTP for compatibility with
  previous releases. When this happens, a `LifecycleHTTPFallback` event is recorded
  in the namespace of the pod and a `kubelet_lifecycle_handler_http_fallbacks_total`

- 'Priority and Fairness has introduced a new feature called _borrowing_ that allows an API priority level
  to borrow a number of seats from other priority level(s). As a cluster operator, you can enable borrowing
  for a certain priority level configuration object via the two newly introduced fields `lendablePercent`, and
  `borrowingLimitPercent` located under the `.spec.limited` field of the designated priority level.
  This change added the following metrics:
    - `apiserver_flowcontrol_nominal_limit_seats`: Nominal number of execution seats configured for each priority level
    - `apiserver_flowcontrol_lower_limit_seats`: Configured lower bound on number of execution seats available to each priority level
    - `apiserver_flowcontrol_upper_limit_seats`: Configured upper bound on number of execution seats available to each priority level
    - `apiserver_flowcontrol_demand_seats`: Observations, at the end of every nanosecond, of (the number of seats each priority level could use) / (nominal number of seats for that level)
    - `apiserver_flowcontrol_demand_seats_high_watermark`: High watermark, over last adjustment period, of demand_seats
    - `apiserver_flowcontrol_demand_seats_average`: Time-weighted average, over last adjustment period, of demand_seats
    - `apiserver_flowcontrol_demand_seats_stdev`: Time-weighted standard deviation, over last adjustment period, of demand_seats
    - `apiserver_flowcontrol_demand_seats_smoothed`: Smoothed seat demands
    - `apiserver_flowcontrol_target_seats`: Seat allocation targets
    - `apiserver_flowcontrol_seat_fair_frac`: Fair fraction of server's concurrency to allocate to each priority level that can use it
    - `apiserver_flowcontrol_current_limit_seats`: current derived number of execution seats available to each priority level
  The possibility of borrowing means that the old metric `apiserver_flowcontrol_request_concurrency_limit` can no longer mean both the configured concurrency limit and the enforced concurrency limit.

- Priority and Fairness has introduced a new feature called _borrowing_ that allows an API priority level
  to borrow a number of seats from other priority level(s). As a cluster operator, you can enable borrowing
  for a certain priority level configuration object via the two newly introduced fields `lendablePercent`, and
  `borrowingLimitPercent` located under the `.spec.limited` field of the designated priority level.
  This PR adds the following metrics.
  - `apiserver_flowcontrol_nominal_limit_seats`: Nominal number of execution seats configured for each priority level
  - `apiserver_flowcontrol_lower_limit_seats`: Configured lower bound on number of execution seats available to each priority level
  - `apiserver_flowcontrol_upper_limit_seats`: Configured upper bound on number of execution seats available to each priority level
  - `apiserver_flowcontrol_demand_seats`: Observations, at the end of every nanosecond, of (the number of seats each priority level could use) / (nominal number of seats for that level)
  - `apiserver_flowcontrol_demand_seats_high_watermark`: High watermark, over last adjustment period, of demand_seats
  - `apiserver_flowcontrol_demand_seats_average`: Time-weighted average, over last adjustment period, of demand_seats
  - `apiserver_flowcontrol_demand_seats_stdev`: Time-weighted standard deviation, over last adjustment period, of demand_seats
  - `apiserver_flowcontrol_demand_seats_smoothed`: Smoothed seat demands
  - `apiserver_flowcontrol_target_seats`: Seat allocation targets
  - `apiserver_flowcontrol_seat_fair_frac`: Fair fraction of server's concurrency to allocate to each priority level that can use it
  - `apiserver_flowcontrol_current_limit_seats`: current derived number of execution seats available to each priority level

  The possibility of borrowing means that the old metric apiserver_flowcontrol_request_concurrency_limit can no longer mean both the configured concurrency limit and the enforced concurrency limit.  Henceforth it means the configured concurrency limit.

### Uncategorized
- The dynamic client now support the `_request_timeout` parameter to configure connection and request timeouts. (#1732, @philipp-sontag-by)

# v24.1.0a1

Kubernetes API Version: v1.24.1

### API Change
- Add 2 new options for kube-proxy running in winkernel mode. `--forward-healthcheck-vip`, if specified as true, health check traffic whose destination is service VIP will be forwarded to kube-proxy's healthcheck service. `--root-hnsendpoint-name` specifies the name of the hns endpoint for the root network namespace. This option enables the pass-through load balancers like Google's GCLB to correctly health check the backend services. Without this change, the health check packets is dropped, and Windows node will be considered to be unhealthy by those load balancers.

In order to provide user feedback on PVCs with data sources, deployers must install the VolumePopulators CRD and the data-source-validator controller. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#108736](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/108736), [@bswartz](https://github.com/bswartz)) [SIG Apps, Storage and Testing]
- The `ServerSideFieldValidation` feature has graduated to beta and is now enabled by default. Kubectl 1.24 and newer will use server-side validation instead of client-side validation when writing to API servers with the feature enabled. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#108889](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/108889), [@kevindelgado](https://github.com/kevindelgado)) [SIG API Machinery, Architecture, CLI and Testing]

- This adds an optional `timeZone` field as part of the CronJob spec to support running cron jobs in a specific time zone. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#108032](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/108032), [@deejross](https://github.com/deejross)) [SIG API Machinery and Apps]
- Add 2 new options for kube-proxy running in winkernel mode.
  `--forward-healthcheck-vip`, if specified as true, health check traffic whose destination is service VIP will be forwarded to kube-proxy's healthcheck service. `--root-hnsendpoint-name` specifies the name of the hns endpoint for the root network namespace.
  This option enables the pass-through load balancers like Google's GCLB to correctly health check the backend services. Without this change, the health check packets is dropped, and Windows node will be considered to be unhealthy by those load balancers. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#99287](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99287), [@anfernee](https://github.com/anfernee)) [SIG API Machinery, Cloud Provider, Network, Testing and Windows]

- Fixes a regression in v1beta1 PodDisruptionBudget handling of "strategic merge patch"-type API requests for the `selector` field. Prior to 1.21, these requests would merge `matchLabels` content and replace `matchExpressions` content. In 1.21, patch requests touching the `selector` field started replacing the entire selector. This is consistent with server-side apply and the v1 PodDisruptionBudget behavior, but should not have been changed for v1beta1. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#108138](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/108138), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG Apps, Auth and Testing]
- Kube-apiserver: --audit-log-version and --audit-webhook-version now only support the default value of audit.k8s.io/v1.

# v23.3.0a1

Kubernetes API Version: v1.23.3

### API Change
- A new field `omitManagedFields` has been added to both `audit.Policy` and `audit.PolicyRule`
  so cluster operators can opt in to omit managed fields of the request and response bodies from
  being written to the API audit log. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#94986](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/94986), [@tkashem](https://github.com/tkashem)) [SIG API Machinery, Auth, Cloud Provider and Testing]
- A small regression in Service updates was fixed. The circumstances are so unlikely that probably nobody would ever hit it. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#104601](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/104601), [@thockin](https://github.com/thockin))
- Added a feature gate `StatefulSetAutoDeletePVC`, which allows PVCs automatically created for StatefulSet pods to be automatically deleted. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#99728](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99728), [@mattcary](https://github.com/mattcary))
- Client-go impersonation config can specify a UID to pass impersonated uid information through in requests. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#104483](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/104483), [@margocrawf](https://github.com/margocrawf))
- Create HPA v2 from v2beta2 with some fields changed. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#102534](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/102534), [@wangyysde](https://github.com/wangyysde)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth, Autoscaling and Testing]

([kubernetes/kubernetes#106163](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/106163), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Architecture, Auth, Autoscaling, CLI, Cloud Provider, Contributor Experience, Instrumentation, Network, Node, Release, Scalability, Scheduling, Storage, Testing and Windows]
- If a conflict occurs when creating an object with `generateName`, the server now returns an "AlreadyExists" error with a retry option. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#104699](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/104699), [@vincepri](https://github.com/vincepri))
- Implement support for recovering from volume expansion failures ([kubernetes/kubernetes#106154](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/106154), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps and Storage]
- In kubelet, log verbosity and flush frequency can also be configured via the configuration file and not just via command line flags. In other commands (kube-apiserver, kube-controller-manager), the flags are listed in the "Logs flags" group and not under "Global" or "Misc". The type for `-vmodule` was made a bit more descriptive (`pattern=N,...` instead of `moduleSpec`). ([kubernetes/kubernetes#106090](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/106090), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly)) [SIG API Machinery, Architecture, CLI, Cluster Lifecycle, Instrumentation, Node and Scheduling]

- Introduce `v1beta3` API for scheduler. This version
  - increases the weight of user specifiable priorities.
  The weights of following priority plugins are increased
    - `TaintTolerations` to 3 - as leveraging node tainting to group nodes in the cluster is becoming a widely-adopted practice
    - `NodeAffinity` to 2
    - `InterPodAffinity` to 2

  - Won't have `HealthzBindAddress`, `MetricsBindAddress` fields ([kubernetes/kubernetes#104251](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/104251), [@ravisantoshgudimetla](https://github.com/ravisantoshgudimetla))
- Introduce v1beta2 for Priority and Fairness with no changes in API spec. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#104399](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/104399), [@tkashem](https://github.com/tkashem))
- JSON log output is configurable and now supports writing info messages to stdout and error messages to stderr. Info messages can be buffered in memory. The default is to write both to stdout without buffering, as before. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#104873](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/104873), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))
- JobTrackingWithFinalizers graduates to beta. Feature is enabled by default. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#105687](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105687), [@alculquicondor](https://github.com/alculquicondor))
- Kube-apiserver: Fixes handling of CRD schemas containing literal null values in enums. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#104969](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/104969), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))
- Kube-apiserver: The `rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1alpha1` API version is removed; use the `rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1` API, available since v1.8. The `scheduling.k8s.io/v1alpha1` API version is removed; use the `scheduling.k8s.io/v1` API, available since v1.14. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#104248](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/104248), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))
- Kube-scheduler: support for configuration file version `v1beta1` is removed. Update configuration files to v1beta2(xref: https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/2901) or v1beta3 before upgrading to 1.23. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#104782](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/104782), [@kerthcet](https://github.com/kerthcet))
- KubeSchedulerConfiguration provides a new field `MultiPoint` which will register a plugin for all valid extension points ([kubernetes/kubernetes#105611](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105611), [@damemi](https://github.com/damemi)) [SIG Scheduling and Testing]
- Kubelet should reject pods whose OS doesn't match the node's OS label. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#105292](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105292), [@ravisantoshgudimetla](https://github.com/ravisantoshgudimetla)) [SIG Apps and Node]
- Kubelet: turn the KubeletConfiguration v1beta1 `ResolverConfig` field from a `string` to `*string`. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#104624](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/104624), [@Haleygo](https://github.com/Haleygo))
- Kubernetes is now built using go 1.17. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#103692](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/103692), [@justaugustus](https://github.com/justaugustus))

- Promote `IPv6DualStack` feature to stable.
  Controller Manager flags for the node IPAM controller have slightly changed:
  1. When configuring a dual-stack cluster, the user must specify both `--node-cidr-mask-size-ipv4` and `--node-cidr-mask-size-ipv6` to set the per-node IP mask sizes, instead of the previous `--node-cidr-mask-size` flag.
  2. The `--node-cidr-mask-size` flag is mutually exclusive with `--node-cidr-mask-size-ipv4` and `--node-cidr-mask-size-ipv6`.
  3. Single-stack clusters do not need to change, but may choose to use the more specific flags.  Users can use either the older `--node-cidr-mask-size` flag or one of the newer `--node-cidr-mask-size-ipv4` or `--node-cidr-mask-size-ipv6` flags to configure the per-node IP mask size, provided that the flag's IP family matches the cluster's IP family (--cluster-cidr). ([kubernetes/kubernetes#104691](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/104691), [@khenidak](https://github.com/khenidak))
- Remove `NodeLease` feature gate that was graduated and locked to stable in 1.17 release. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#105222](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105222), [@cyclinder](https://github.com/cyclinder))
- Removed deprecated `--seccomp-profile-root`/`seccompProfileRoot` config. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#103941](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/103941), [@saschagrunert](https://github.com/saschagrunert))
- Since golang 1.17 both net.ParseIP and net.ParseCIDR rejects leading zeros in the dot-decimal notation of IPv4 addresses,
  Kubernetes will keep allowing leading zeros on IPv4 address to not break the compatibility.
  IMPORTANT: Kubernetes interprets leading zeros on IPv4 addresses as decimal, users must not rely on parser alignment to not being impacted by the associated security advisory:
  CVE-2021-29923 golang standard library "net" - Improper Input Validation of octal literals in golang 1.16.2 and below standard library "net" results in indeterminate SSRF & RFI vulnerabilities.
  Reference: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-29923 ([kubernetes/kubernetes#104368](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/104368), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea))
- StatefulSet `minReadySeconds` is promoted to beta. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#104045](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/104045), [@ravisantoshgudimetla](https://github.com/ravisantoshgudimetla))
- Support pod priority based node graceful shutdown. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#102915](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/102915), [@wzshiming](https://github.com/wzshiming))
- The "Generic Ephemeral Volume" feature graduates to GA. It is now enabled unconditionally. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#105609](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105609), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))
- The Kubelet's `--register-with-taints` option is now available via the Kubelet config file field registerWithTaints ([kubernetes/kubernetes#105437](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105437), [@cmssczy](https://github.com/cmssczy)) [SIG Node and Scalability]

- The `CSIVolumeFSGroupPolicy` feature has moved from beta to GA. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#105940](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105940), [@dobsonj](https://github.com/dobsonj))
- The `IngressClass.Spec.Parameters.Namespace` field is now GA. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#104636](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/104636), [@hbagdi](https://github.com/hbagdi))
- The `Service.spec.ipFamilyPolicy` field is now *required* in order to create or update a Service as dual-stack.  This is a breaking change from the beta behavior.  Previously the server would try to infer the value of that field from either `ipFamilies` or `clusterIPs`, but that caused ambiguity on updates.  Users who want a dual-stack Service MUST specify `ipFamilyPolicy` as either "PreferDualStack" or "RequireDualStack". ([kubernetes/kubernetes#96684](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96684), [@thockin](https://github.com/thockin))
- The `TTLAfterFinished` feature gate is now GA and enabled by default. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#105219](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105219), [@sahilvv](https://github.com/sahilvv))

- The legacy scheduler policy config is removed in v1.23, the associated flags `policy-config-file`, `policy-configmap`, `policy-configmap-namespace` and `use-legacy-policy-config` are also removed. Migrate to Component Config instead, see https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/scheduling/config/ for details. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#105424](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105424), [@kerthcet](https://github.com/kerthcet))
- Track the number of Pods with a Ready condition in Job status. The feature is alpha and needs the feature gate JobReadyPods to be enabled. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#104915](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/104915), [@alculquicondor](https://github.com/alculquicondor))
- Users of `LogFormatRegistry` in component-base must update their code to use the logr v1.0.0 API. The JSON log output now uses the format from go-logr/zapr (no `v` field for error messages, additional information for invalid calls) and has some fixes (correct source code location for warnings about invalid log calls). ([kubernetes/kubernetes#104103](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/104103), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))
- Validation rules for Custom Resource Definitions can be written in the [CEL expression language](https://github.com/google/cel-spec) using the `x-kubernetes-validations` extension in OpenAPIv3 schemas (alpha).

- JSON log output is configurable and now supports writing info messages to stdout and error messages to stderr. Info messages can be buffered in memory. The default is to write both to stdout without buffering, as before. (#104873, @pohly) [SIG API Machinery, Architecture, CLI, Cluster Lifecycle, Instrumentation, Node and Scheduling]
- JobTrackingWithFinalizers graduates to beta. Feature is enabled by default. (#105687, @alculquicondor) [SIG Apps and Testing]
- Remove NodeLease feature gate that was graduated and locked to stable in 1.17 release. (#105222, @cyclinder) [SIG Apps, Node and Testing]
- TTLAfterFinished is now GA and enabled by default (#105219, @sahilvv) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth and Testing]
- The "Generic Ephemeral Volume" feature graduates to GA. It is now enabled unconditionally. (#105609, @pohly) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth, Node, Scheduling, Storage and Testing]
- The legacy scheduler policy config is removed in v1.23, the associated flags policy-config-file, policy-configmap, policy-configmap-namespace and use-legacy-policy-config are also removed. Migrate to Component Config instead, see https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/scheduling/config/ for details. (#105424, @kerthcet) [SIG Scheduling and Testing]
- Track the number of Pods with a Ready condition in Job status. The feature is alpha and needs the feature gate JobReadyPods to be enabled. (#104915, @alculquicondor) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, CLI and Testing]
- Client-go impersonation config can specify a UID to pass impersonated uid information through in requests. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#104483](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/104483), [@margocrawf](https://github.com/margocrawf)) [SIG API Machinery, Auth and Testing]
- IPv6DualStack feature moved to stable.
  Controller Manager flags for the node IPAM controller have slightly changed:
  1. When configuring a dual-stack cluster, the user must specify both --node-cidr-mask-size-ipv4 and --node-cidr-mask-size-ipv6 to set the per-node IP mask sizes, instead of the previous --node-cidr-mask-size flag.
  2. The --node-cidr-mask-size flag is mutually exclusive with --node-cidr-mask-size-ipv4 and --node-cidr-mask-size-ipv6.
  3. Single-stack clusters do not need to change, but may choose to use the more specific flags.  Users can use either the older --node-cidr-mask-size flag or one of the newer --node-cidr-mask-size-ipv4 or --node-cidr-mask-size-ipv6 flags to configure the per-node IP mask size, provided that the flag's IP family matches the cluster's IP family (--cluster-cidr).

- Since golang 1.17 both net.ParseIP and net.ParseCIDR rejects leading zeros in the dot-decimal notation of IPv4 addresses.
  Kubernetes will keep allowing leading zeros on IPv4 address to not break the compatibility.
  IMPORTANT: Kubernetes interprets leading zeros on IPv4 addresses as decimal, users must not rely on parser alignment to not being impacted by the associated security advisory:

- The `Service.spec.ipFamilyPolicy` field is now *required* in order to create or update a Service as dual-stack.  This is a breaking change from the beta behavior.  Previously the server would try to infer the value of that field from either `ipFamilies` or `clusterIPs`, but that caused ambiguity on updates.

- A new score extension for NodeResourcesFit plugin that merges the functionality of `NodeResourcesLeastAllocated`, `NodeResourcesMostAllocated`, `RequestedToCapacityRatio` plugins, which are marked as deprecated as of v1beta2. In v1beta1, the three plugins can still be used in v1beta1 but not at the same time with the score extension of `NodeResourcesFit`. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#101822](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/101822), [@yuzhiquan](https://github.com/yuzhiquan))
- A value of `Auto` is now a valid for the `service.kubernetes.io/topology-aware-hints` annotation. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#100728](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/100728), [@robscott](https://github.com/robscott))

  `IndexedJob` has been promoted to Beta. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#101292](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/101292), [@AliceZhang2016](https://github.com/AliceZhang2016))
- Added field `.status.uncountedTerminatedPods` to the Job resource. This field is used by the job controller to keep track of finished pods before adding them to the Job status counters. Pods created by the job controller get the finalizer `batch.kubernetes.io/job-tracking`
  Jobs that are tracked using this mechanism get the annotation `batch.kubernetes.io/job-tracking`. This is a temporary measure. Two releases after this feature graduates to beta, the annotation won't be added to Jobs anymore. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#98817](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98817), [@alculquicondor](https://github.com/alculquicondor))
- Added new kubelet alpha feature `SeccompDefault`. This feature enables falling back to
  the `RuntimeDefault` (former `runtime/default`) seccomp profile if nothing else is specified
  in the pod/container `SecurityContext` or the pod annotation level. To use the feature, enable
  the feature gate as well as set the kubelet configuration option `SeccompDefault`
  (`--seccomp-default`) to `true`. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#101943](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/101943), [@saschagrunert](https://github.com/saschagrunert)) [SIG Node]
- Adds the `ReadWriteOncePod` access mode for `PersistentVolumes` and `PersistentVolumeClaims`. Restricts volume access to a single pod on a single node. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#102028](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/102028), [@chrishenzie](https://github.com/chrishenzie))
- Alpha swap support can now be enabled on Kubernetes nodes with the `NodeSwapEnabled` feature flag. See [KEP-2400](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/blob/master/keps/sig-node/2400-node-swap/README.md#design-details) for details.

- Introducing Memory quality of service support with `cgroups v2 (Alpha)`. The `MemoryQoS` feature is now in Alpha. This allows `kubelet` running with `cgroups v2` to set memory QoS at container, pod and QoS level to protect and guarantee better memory quality. This feature can be enabled through feature gate Memory QoS. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#102970](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/102970), [@borgerli](https://github.com/borgerli))
- Kube API server accepts `Impersonate-Uid` header to impersonate a user with a specific UID, in the same way that you can currently use `Impersonate-User`, `Impersonate-Group` and `Impersonate-Extra`. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#99961](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99961), [@margocrawf](https://github.com/margocrawf))
- Kube-apiserver: `--service-account-issuer` can be specified multiple times now, to enable non-disruptive change of issuer. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#101155](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/101155), [@zshihang](https://github.com/zshihang)) [SIG API Machinery, Auth, Node and Testing]
- Kube-controller-manager: the `--horizontal-pod-autoscaler-use-rest-clients` flag and Heapster support in the horizontal pod autoscaler, deprecated since 1.12, is removed. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#90368](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/90368), [@serathius](https://github.com/serathius))
- Kube-scheduler: a plugin enabled in a v1beta2 configuration file takes precedence over the default configuration for that plugin. This simplifies enabling default plugins with custom configuration without needing to explicitly disable those default plugins. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#99582](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99582), [@chendave](https://github.com/chendave))
- New `node-high` priority-level has been added to Suggested API Priority and ([kubernetes/kubernetes#101151](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/101151), [@mborsz](https://github.com/mborsz))

- Scheduler could be configured  to consider new resources beside CPU and memory,  GPU for example, for the score plugin of `NodeResourcesBalancedAllocation`. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#101946](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/101946), [@chendave](https://github.com/chendave)) [SIG Scheduling]
- Server Side Apply now treats all <Some>Selector fields as atomic (meaning the entire selector is managed by a single writer and updated together), since they contain interrelated and inseparable fields that do not merge in intuitive ways. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#97989](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/97989), [@Danil-Grigorev](https://github.com/Danil-Grigorev)) [SIG API Machinery]

- The `CertificateSigningRequest.certificates.k8s.io` API supports an optional expirationSeconds field to allow the client to request a particular duration for the issued certificate.  The default signer implementations provided by the Kubernetes controller manager will honor this field as long as it does not exceed the --cluster-signing-duration flag. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#99494](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99494), [@enj](https://github.com/enj))
- The `EndpointSlicen Mirroring controller` no longer mirrors the `last-applied-configuration` annotation created by `kubectl` to update `EndpointSlices`. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#102731](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/102731), [@sharmarajdaksh](https://github.com/sharmarajdaksh))

- The `ServiceAppProtocol` feature gate has been removed. It reached GA in Kubernetes ([kubernetes/kubernetes#103190](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/103190), [@robscott](https://github.com/robscott))
- The `TerminationGracePeriodSeconds` on pod specs and container probes should not be negative. Negative values of `TerminationGracePeriodSeconds` will be treated as the value `1s` on the delete path. Immutable field validation will be relaxed in order to update negative values. In a future release, negative values will not be permitted. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#98866](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98866), [@wzshiming](https://github.com/wzshiming))
- The `kube-scheduler` component config `v1beta2` API available

([kubernetes/kubernetes#98458](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98458), [@SaranBalaji90](https://github.com/SaranBalaji90))
- DaemonSets accept a MaxSurge integer or percent on their rolling update strategy that will launch the updated pod on nodes and wait for those pods to go ready before marking the old out-of-date pods as deleted. This allows workloads to avoid downtime during upgrades when deployed using DaemonSets. This feature is alpha and is behind the DaemonSetUpdateSurge feature gate.

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

- The BoundServiceAccountTokenVolume feature has been promoted to beta, and enabled by default.
  - This changes the tokens provided to containers at `/var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/token` to be time-limited, auto-refreshed, and invalidated when the containing pod is deleted.
  - Clients should reload the token from disk periodically (once per minute is recommended) to ensure they continue to use a valid token. `k8s.io/client-go` version v11.0.0+ and v0.15.0+ reload tokens automatically.
  - By default, injected tokens are given an extended lifetime so they remain valid even after a new refreshed token is provided. The metric `serviceaccount_stale_tokens_total` can be used to monitor for workloads that are depending on the extended lifetime and are continuing to use tokens even after a refreshed token is provided to the container. If that metric indicates no existing workloads are depending on extended lifetimes, injected token lifetime can be shortened to 1 hour by starting `kube-apiserver` with `--service-account-extend-token-expiration=false`.

- The Endpoints controller will now set the `endpoints.kubernetes.io/over-capacity` annotation to "warning" when an Endpoints resource contains more than 1000 addresses. In a future release, the controller will truncate Endpoints that exceed this limit. The EndpointSlice API can be used to support significantly larger number of addresses. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#99975](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99975), [@robscott](https://github.com/robscott)) [SIG Apps and Network]
- The PodDisruptionBudget API has been promoted to policy/v1 with no schema changes. The only functional change is that an empty selector (`{}`) written to a policy/v1 PodDisruptionBudget now selects all pods in the namespace. The behavior of the policy/v1beta1 API remains unchanged. The policy/v1beta1 PodDisruptionBudget API is deprecated and will no longer be served in 1.25+.

- The BoundServiceAccountTokenVolume feature has been promoted to beta, and enabled by default.
  - This changes the tokens provided to containers at `/var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/token` to be time-limited, auto-refreshed, and invalidated when the containing pod is deleted.
  - Clients should reload the token from disk periodically (once per minute is recommended) to ensure they continue to use a valid token. `k8s.io/client-go` version v11.0.0+ and v0.15.0+ reload tokens automatically.
  - By default, injected tokens are given an extended lifetime so they remain valid even after a new refreshed token is provided. The metric `serviceaccount_stale_tokens_total` can be used to monitor for workloads that are depending on the extended lifetime and are continuing to use tokens even after a refreshed token is provided to the container. If that metric indicates no existing workloads are depending on extended lifetimes, injected token lifetime can be shortened to 1 hour by starting `kube-apiserver` with `--service-account-extend-token-expiration=false`.

  ipFamilies (a list of families assigned), and clusterIPs (inclusive of
  clusterIP).  Most users do not need to set anything at all, defaulting will
  handle it for them.  Services are single-stack unless the user asks for
  dual-stack.  This is all gated by the "IPv6DualStack" feature gate. ([kubernetes/kubernetes#91824](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/91824), [@khenidak](https://github.com/khenidak)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, CLI, Network, Node, Scheduling and Testing]

# v18.20.0b1

Kubernetes API Version: 1.18.20

**Important Information:**

- Python 2 had reached [End of Life](https://www.python.org/doc/sunset-python-2/) on January 1, 2020. The Kubernetes Python Client has dropped support for Python 2 from this release (v18.20.0b1) and will no longer provide support to older clients as per the [Kubernetes support policy](https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/release/version-skew-policy/#supported-versions).

# v18.17.0a1

Kubernetes API Version: 1.18.17

**Important Information:**

- The Kubernetes Python client versioning scheme has changed. The version numbers used till Kubernetes Python Client v12.y.z lagged behind the actual Kubernetes minor version numbers. From this release, the client is moving a version format `vY.Z.P` where `Y` and `Z` are respectively from the Kubernetes version `v1.Y.Z` and `P` would incremented due to changes on the Python client side itself.

- The `MutatingWebhookConfiguration` and `ValidatingWebhookConfiguration` APIs have been promoted to `admissionregistration.k8s.io/v1`:
  - `failurePolicy` default changed from `Ignore` to `Fail` for v1
  - `matchPolicy` default changed from `Exact` to `Equivalent` for v1
  - `timeout` default changed from `30s` to `10s` for v1
  - `sideEffects` default value is removed, and the field made required, and only `None` and `NoneOnDryRun` are permitted for v1
  - `admissionReviewVersions` default value is removed and the field made required for v1 (supported versions for AdmissionReview are `v1` and `v1beta1`)
  - The `name` field for specified webhooks must be unique for `MutatingWebhookConfiguration` and `ValidatingWebhookConfiguration` objects created via `admissionregistration.k8s.io/v1`
- The `AdmissionReview` API sent to and received from admission webhooks has been promoted to `admission.k8s.io/v1`. Webhooks can specify a preference for receiving `v1` AdmissionReview objects with `admissionReviewVersions: ["v1","v1beta1"]`, and must respond with an API object in the same `apiVersion` they are sent. When webhooks use `admission.k8s.io/v1`, the following additional validation is performed on their responses:
  - `response.patch` and `response.patchType` are not permitted from validating admission webhooks
  - `apiVersion: "admission.k8s.io/v1"` is required
  - `kind: "AdmissionReview"` is required
  - `response.uid: "<value of request.uid>"` is required
  - `response.patchType: "JSONPatch"` is required (if `response.patch` is set) ([#80231](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/80231), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))
- The `CustomResourceDefinition` API type is promoted to `apiextensions.k8s.io/v1` with the following changes:
  - Use of the new `default` feature in validation schemas is limited to v1
  - `spec.scope` is no longer defaulted to `Namespaced` and must be explicitly specified
  - `spec.version` is removed in v1; use `spec.versions` instead
  - `spec.validation` is removed in v1; use `spec.versions[*].schema` instead
  - `spec.subresources` is removed in v1; use `spec.versions[*].subresources` instead
  - `spec.additionalPrinterColumns` is removed in v1; use `spec.versions[*].additionalPrinterColumns` instead
  - `spec.conversion.webhookClientConfig` is moved to `spec.conversion.webhook.clientConfig` in v1
  - `spec.conversion.conversionReviewVersions` is moved to `spec.conversion.webhook.conversionReviewVersions` in v1
  - `spec.versions[*].schema.openAPIV3Schema` is now required when creating v1 CustomResourceDefinitions
  - `spec.preserveUnknownFields: true` is disallowed when creating v1 CustomResourceDefinitions; it must be specified within schema definitions as `x-kubernetes-preserve-unknown-fields: true`
  - In `additionalPrinterColumns` items, the `JSONPath` field was renamed to `jsonPath` in v1 (fixes https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/66531)
    The `apiextensions.k8s.io/v1beta1` version of `CustomResourceDefinition` is deprecated and will no longer be served in v1.19. ([#79604](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/79604), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))
- The `ConversionReview` API sent to and received from custom resource CustomResourceDefinition conversion webhooks has been promoted to `apiextensions.k8s.io/v1`. CustomResourceDefinition conversion webhooks can now indicate they support receiving and responding with `ConversionReview` API objects in the `apiextensions.k8s.io/v1` version by including `v1` in the `conversionReviewVersions` list in their CustomResourceDefinition. Conversion webhooks must respond with a ConversionReview object in the same apiVersion they receive. `apiextensions.k8s.io/v1` `ConversionReview` responses must specify a `response.uid` that matches the `request.uid` of the object they were sent. ([#81476](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/81476), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))
- Add scheduling support for RuntimeClasses. RuntimeClasses can now specify nodeSelector constraints & tolerations, which are merged into the PodSpec for pods using that RuntimeClass. ([#80825](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/80825), [@tallclair](https://github.com/tallclair))
- Kubelet should now more reliably report the same primary node IP even if the set of node IPs reported by the CloudProvider changes. ([#79391](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/79391), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship))
- Omit nil or empty field when calculating container hash value to avoid hash changed. For a new field with a non-nil default value in the container spec, the hash would still get changed. ([#57741](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/57741), [@dixudx](https://github.com/dixudx))
- Property `conditions` in `apiextensions.v1beta1.CustomResourceDefinitionStatus` and `apiextensions.v1.CustomResourceDefinitionStatus` is now optional instead of required. ([#64996](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/64996), [@roycaihw](https://github.com/roycaihw))
- When the status of a CustomResourceDefinition condition changes, its corresponding `lastTransitionTime` is now updated. ([#69655](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/69655), [@CaoShuFeng](https://github.com/CaoShuFeng))

- Allow incluster to accept pass-in config [kubernetes-client/python-base#193](https://github.com/kubernetes-client/python-base/pull/193)
- Set expiration on token of incluster config and reload the token if it expires [kubernetes-client/python-base#191](https://github.com/kubernetes-client/python-base/pull/191)

**Bug Fix:**

- Fixes a bug in loading kubeconfig when there are no users in the config [kubernetes-client/python-base#198](https://github.com/kubernetes-client/python-base/pull/198)

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 [kubernetes/kubernetes#66936](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/66936)
