  behind the `DynamicResourceAllocation` feature gate).
  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
  level, or following any other model you implement.' ([#111023](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/111023), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))
- 'Container `preStop` and `postStart` lifecycle handlers using `httpGet` now
  honor the specified `scheme` and `headers` fields. This enables setting custom
  headers and changing the scheme to `HTTPS`, consistent with container
  startup/readiness/liveness probe capabilities. Lifecycle handlers configured
  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`
  metric in the kubelet is incremented. Cluster administrators can opt out of the
  expanded lifecycle handler capabilities by setting
  `--feature-gates=ConsistentHTTPGetHandlers=false` in `kubelet`.'

- '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. Henceforth it means the configured concurrency limit.' ([#113485](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113485), [@MikeSpreitzer](https://github.com/MikeSpreitzer))

- For `kubectl`, `--server-side` now migrates ownership of all fields used by client-side-apply to the specified `--fieldmanager`. This prevents fields previously specified using kubectl from being able to live outside of server-side-apply's management and become undeleteable. ([#112905](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112905), [@alexzielenski](https://github.com/alexzielenski))
- For raw block CSI volumes on Kubernetes, kubelet was incorrectly calling CSI `NodeStageVolume` for every single "map" (i.e. raw block "mount") operation for a volume already attached to the node. This change modified that behavior to ensure it is only called once per volume per node. ([#112403](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112403), [@akankshakumari393](https://github.com/akankshakumari393))

- Kube-proxy no longer falls back from ipvs mode to iptables mode if you ask it to do ipvs but the system is not correctly configured. Instead, it will just exit with an error. ([#111806](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/111806), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship)) [SIG Network]
- Kube-scheduler: added taints filtering logic consistent with `TaintToleration` plugin for `PodTopologySpread` plugin. ([#112357](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112357), [@SataQiu](https://github.com/SataQiu))
- Kubeadm will cleanup the stale data on best effort basis. Stale data will be removed when each reset phase are executed, default etcd data directory will be cleanup when the `remove-etcd-member` phase are executed.

- Kubelet now cleans up the Node's cloud node IP annotation correctly if you
  stop using `--node-ip`. (In particular, this fixes the problem where people who
  were unnecessarily using `--node-ip` with an external cloud provider in 1.23,
  and then running into problems with 1.24, could not fix the problem by just
  removing the unnecessary `--node-ip` from the kubelet arguments, because
  that wouldn't remove the annotation that caused the problems.) ([#112184](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112184), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship)) [SIG Network and Node]

- Log messages and metrics for the watch cache are now keyed by `<resource>.<group>` instead of `go` struct type. This means e.g. that `*v1.Pod` becomes `pods`. Additionally, resources that come from `CustomResourceDefinitions` are displayed as the correct resource and group, instead of `*unstructured.Unstructured`. ([#111807](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/111807), [@ncdc](https://github.com/ncdc))

([#112042](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112042), [@ncdc](https://github.com/ncdc))
- The pod admission error message was improved for usability. ([#112644](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112644), [@vitorfhc](https://github.com/vitorfhc)) [SIG Node]
- The time duration of a failed or unschedulable scheduling attempt will be longer, it 
  now includes the time duration of the unreserve operation. ([#113113](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113113), [@kerthcet](https://github.com/kerthcet))
- Updated `kube-proxy` to restart in case it detects that the Node assigned `pod.Spec.PodCIDRs` have changed. ([#111344](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/111344), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea))
- Updated creation of `LoadBalancer` services, for there to be fewer AWS security group rules in most cases. ([#112267](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112267), [@sjenning](https://github.com/sjenning))

- Dropped support for the Container Runtime Interface (CRI) version `v1alpha2`, which means that container runtimes just have to implement `v1`. ([#110618](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/110618), [@saschagrunert](https://github.com/saschagrunert))
- E2e: tests can now register callbacks with `ginkgo.BeforeEach`, `ginkgo.AfterEach` or `ginkgo.DeferCleanup` directly after creating a framework instance and are guaranteed that their code is called after the framework is initialized and before it gets cleaned up. `ginkgo.DeferCleanup` replaces `f.AddAfterEach` and `AddCleanupAction` which got removed to simplify the framework. ([#111998](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/111998), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))
- Introduce `ComponentSLIs` alpha feature-gate for component SLIs metrics endpoint. ([#112884](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112884), [@logicalhan](https://github.com/logicalhan)) [SIG API Machinery]
- Kube scheduler Component Config release version v1beta3 is deprecated in v1.26 and will be removed in v1.29, 
  also v1beta2 will be removed in v1.28. ([#112257](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112257), [@kerthcet](https://github.com/kerthcet)) [SIG Scheduling]
- Kube-scheduler: the `DefaultPodTopologySpread`, `NonPreemptingPriority`, `PodAffinityNamespaceSelector` and `PreferNominatedNode` feature gates that graduated to GA in v1.24 and were unconditionally enabled have been removed in v1.26. ([#112567](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112567), [@SataQiu](https://github.com/SataQiu))
- Kubeadm: removed the `UnversionedKubeletConfigMap` feature gate. The feature has been GA and locked to enabled since `v1.25`. ([#113448](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113448), [@pacoxu](https://github.com/pacoxu))
- Kubeadm: removed the toleration for the `node-role.kubernetes.io/master` taint from the CoreDNS deployment of `kubeadm`. With the 1.25 release of kubeadm the taint `node-role.kubernetes.io/master` is no longer applied to control plane nodes and the toleration for it can be removed with the release of 1.26. You can also perform the same toleration removal from your own addon manifests. ([#112008](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112008), [@pacoxu](https://github.com/pacoxu))
- Kubeadm: removed the usage of the `--container-runtime=remote` flag for the kubelet during kubeadm init/join/upgrade. The flag value `remote` had been the only possible value since `dockershim` was removed from the kubelet. ([#112000](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112000), [@pacoxu](https://github.com/pacoxu))
- Locked `ServerSideApply` feature gate to true with the feature already being GA. ([#112748](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112748), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t))
- Refactored `test/e2e/framework` so that the core framework is smaller. Optional functionality like resource monitoring, log size monitoring, metrics gathering and debug information dumping must be imported by specific e2e test suites. Init packages are provided which can be imported to re-enable the functionality that traditionally was in the core framework. If you have code that no longer compiles because of this PR, you can use the script [from a commit message](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112043/commits/dfdf88d4faafa6fd39988832ea0ef6d668f490e9) to update that code. ([#112043](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112043), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))
- Release-note ([#111708](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/111708), [@yangjunmyfm192085](https://github.com/yangjunmyfm192085)) [SIG Apps, Instrumentation and Network]
- Removed `PodOverhead` feature gate as the feature is in GA since `v1.24`. ([#112579](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112579), [@SergeyKanzhelev](https://github.com/SergeyKanzhelev))
- Removing Windows Server, Version 20H2 flavors from various container images. ([#112924](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112924), [@marosset](https://github.com/marosset))
- Renamed the feature gate for CEL in Admission Control to `ValidatingAdmissionPolicy`. ([#113735](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113735), [@cici37](https://github.com/cici37))
- Reworded log message upon image garbage collection failure to be more clear. ([#112631](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112631), [@tzneal](https://github.com/tzneal)) [SIG Node]
- Scheduler dumper now exposes a summary to indicate the number of pending pods in each internal queue. ([#111726](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/111726), [@Huang-Wei](https://github.com/Huang-Wei)) [SIG Scheduling and Testing]
- Service session affinity timeout tests are no longer required for Kubernetes network plugin conformance due to variations in existing implementations. New conformance tests will be developed to better express conformance in future releases. ([#112806](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112806), [@dcbw](https://github.com/dcbw)) [SIG Architecture, Network and Testing]
- The `IndexedJob` and `SuspendJob` feature gates that graduated to GA in 1.24 and were unconditionally enabled have been removed in v1.26. ([#112589](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112589), [@SataQiu](https://github.com/SataQiu))
- The `e2e.test` binary no longer emits JSON structs to document progress. ([#113212](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113212), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))
- The in-tree cloud provider for OpenStack (and the cinder volume provider) has been removed. Please use the external cloud provider and csi driver from [cloud-provider-openstack](https://github.com/kubernetes/cloud-provider-openstack) instead. ([#67782](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/67782), [@dims](https://github.com/dims))
- The metric `etcd_db_total_size_in_bytes` is renamed to `apiserver_storage_db_total_size_in_bytes`. ([#113310](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113310), [@logicalhan](https://github.com/logicalhan)) [SIG API Machinery]
- Updated `cri-tools` to [v1.25.0(https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/cri-tools/releases/tag/v1.25.0) ([#112058](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112058), [@saschagrunert](https://github.com/saschagrunert))
- `GlusterFS` in-tree storage driver which was deprecated in kubernetes 1.25 release is now removed entirely in 1.26. ([#112015](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112015), [@humblec](https://github.com/humblec))

## Changelog since v1.26.0-rc.0

## Changes by Kind

### Bug or Regression

- Fix endpoint reconciler not being able to delete the apiserver lease on shutdown ([#114122](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114122), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea)) [SIG API Machinery]
- Fixed a bug that resulted in "grpc: the client connection is closing" errors shortly after the Kubernetes API server automatically reloaded its encryption-at-rest config due to an observed change to the file.  This bug was only encountered when the --encryption-provider-config-automatic-reload flag was set to true. ([#113955](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113955), [@enj](https://github.com/enj)) [SIG API Machinery, Auth and Testing]
- When the feature gates `PodDisruptionConditions` and `JobPodFailurePolicy` are both enabled,
  the Job controller now does not consider a terminating Pod (a pod that has a `.metadata.deletionTimestamp`)
  as a failure until that Pod is terminal (its `.status.phase` is `Failed` or `Succeeded`).
  
  However, the Job controller creates a replacement Pod as soon as the termination becomes apparent.
  Once the pod terminates, the Job controller evaluates `.backoffLimit` and `.podFailurePolicy` for the
  relevant Job, taking this now-terminated Pod into consideration.
  
  This behavior is limited to Jobs with `.spec.podFailurePolicy` set, and only when those two feature
  gates are both enabled.
  If either of these requirements is not satisfied, the Job controller counts a terminating Pod as an immediate
  failure, even if that Pod later terminates with `phase: "Succeeded"`. ([#113860](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113860), [@alculquicondor](https://github.com/alculquicondor)) [SIG Apps]

## Changelog since v1.26.0-beta.0

## Changes by Kind

### API Change

- Add a `ResourceClaim` API (in the resource.k8s.io/v1alpha1 API group and
  behind the `DynamicResourceAllocation` feature gate).
  The new API is 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
  level, or following any other model you implement. ([#111023](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/111023), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Architecture, Auth, CLI, Cloud Provider, Cluster Lifecycle, Instrumentation, Node, Release, Scheduling, Storage and Testing]
- PodDisruptionBudget adds an alpha `spec.unhealthyPodEvictionPolicy` field. When the `PDBUnhealthyPodEvictionPolicy` feature-gate is enabled in `kube-apiserver`, setting this field to `"AlwaysAllow"` allows pods to be evicted if they do not have a ready condition, regardless of whether the PodDisruptionBudget is currently healthy. ([#113375](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113375), [@atiratree](https://github.com/atiratree)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth and Testing]

### Feature

- Promote kubectl alpha events to kubectl events ([#113819](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113819), [@soltysh](https://github.com/soltysh)) [SIG CLI and Testing]

### Bug or Regression

- Known issue: Job field `.spec.podFailurePolicy.rules[*].onExitCode` might be ignored if the Pod is deleted before it terminates. ([#113856](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113856), [@alculquicondor](https://github.com/alculquicondor)) [SIG Apps]

## Changelog since v1.26.0-alpha.3

## Changes by Kind

### Deprecation

- CLI flag `pod-eviction-timeout` is deprecated and will be removed together with `enable-taint-manager` in v1.27. ([#113710](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113710), [@kerthcet](https://github.com/kerthcet)) [SIG API Machinery and Apps]

### API Change

- A new `preEnqueue` extension point is added to scheduler's component config v1beta2/v1beta3/v1. ([#113275](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113275), [@Huang-Wei](https://github.com/Huang-Wei)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Instrumentation, Scheduling and Testing]
- Add DataSourceRef2 alpha field to PersistentVolumeClaimSpec API. ([#113186](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113186), [@ttakahashi21](https://github.com/ttakahashi21)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Storage and Testing]
- Add a kube-proxy flag (--iptables-localhost-nodeports, default true) to allow disabling NodePort services on loopback addresses. Note: this only applies to iptables mode and ipv4. ([#108250](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/108250), [@cyclinder](https://github.com/cyclinder)) [SIG API Machinery, Cloud Provider, Network, Node, Scalability, Storage and Testing]
- Added a --topology-manager-policy-options flag to the kubelet to support fine tuning the topology manager policies. The first policy option, `prefer-closest-numa-nodes`, allows these policies to favor sets of NUMA nodes with shorter distance between nodes when making admission decisions. ([#112914](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112914), [@PiotrProkop](https://github.com/PiotrProkop)) [SIG API Machinery and Node]

- Deprecate the apiserver_request_slo_duration_seconds metric for v1.27 in favor of apiserver_request_sli_duration_seconds for naming consistency purposes with other SLI-specific metrics and to avoid any confusion between SLOs and SLIs. ([#112679](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112679), [@dgrisonnet](https://github.com/dgrisonnet)) [SIG API Machinery and Instrumentation]
- Enable the "Retriable and non-retriable pod failures for jobs" feature into beta ([#113360](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113360), [@mimowo](https://github.com/mimowo)) [SIG Apps, Auth, Node, Scheduling and Testing]
- Graduate JobTrackingWithFinalizers to stable.
  Jobs created before the feature was enabled are still tracked without finalizers.
  Users can choose to migrate jobs to tracking with finalizers by adding the annotation batch.kubernetes.io/job-tracking.
  If the annotation was already present and the user attempts to remove it, the control plane adds the annotation back. ([#113510](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113510), [@alculquicondor](https://github.com/alculquicondor)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps and Testing]
- Graduate ServiceInternalTrafficPolicy feature to GA ([#113496](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113496), [@avoltz](https://github.com/avoltz)) [SIG Apps and Network]
- If you enabled automatic reload of encryption configuration with API server flag --encryption-provider-config-automatic-reload, ensure all the KMS provider names (v1 and v2) in the encryption configuration are unique. ([#113697](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113697), [@aramase](https://github.com/aramase)) [SIG API Machinery and Auth]
- Introduce v1alpha1 API for validating admission policies, enabling extensible admission control via CEL expressions (KEP  3488: CEL for Admission Control). To use, enable the `ValidatingAdmissionPolicy` feature gate and the `admissionregistration.k8s.io/v1alpha1` API via `--runtime-config`. ([#113314](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113314), [@cici37](https://github.com/cici37)) [SIG API Machinery, Auth, Cloud Provider and Testing]
- Kubelet adds the following pod failure conditions:
  - DisruptionTarget (graceful node shutdown, node pressure eviction) ([#112360](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112360), [@mimowo](https://github.com/mimowo)) [SIG Apps, Node and Testing]
- Metav1.LabelSelectors specified in API objects are now validated to ensure they do not contain invalid label values that will error at time of use. Existing invalid objects can be updated, but new objects are required to contain valid label selectors. ([#113699](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113699), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth, Network and Storage]
- Moving MixedProtocolLBService from beta to GA ([#112895](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112895), [@janosi](https://github.com/janosi)) [SIG Apps, Network and Testing]
- New Pod API field `.spec.schedulingGates` is introduced to enable users to control when to mark a Pod as scheduling ready. ([#113274](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113274), [@Huang-Wei](https://github.com/Huang-Wei)) [SIG Apps, Scheduling and Testing]
- NodeInclusionPolicy in podTopologySpread plugin is enabled by default. ([#113500](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113500), [@kerthcet](https://github.com/kerthcet)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Scheduling and Testing]
- 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. ([#113485](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113485), [@MikeSpreitzer](https://github.com/MikeSpreitzer)) [SIG API Machinery and Testing]
- The EndpointSliceTerminatingCondition feature gate has graduated to GA. The gate is now locked and will be removed in v1.28. ([#113351](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113351), [@andrewsykim](https://github.com/andrewsykim)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Network and Testing]
- Yes, aggregated discovery will be alpha and can be toggled with the AggregatedDiscoveryEndpoint feature flag ([#113171](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113171), [@Jefftree](https://github.com/Jefftree)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Architecture, Auth, Autoscaling, CLI, Cloud Provider, Cluster Lifecycle, Network, Node, Release, Scalability, Scheduling, Storage and Testing]

- Fix that disruption controller changes the status of a stale disruption condition after 2 min when the PodDisruptionConditions feature gate is enabled ([#113580](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113580), [@mimowo](https://github.com/mimowo)) [SIG Auth]
- Fix the PodAndContainerStatsFromCRI feature, instead of supplementing with stats from cAdvisor. ([#113291](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113291), [@mengjiao-liu](https://github.com/mengjiao-liu)) [SIG Instrumentation and Node]
- For `kubectl`, `--server-side` now migrates ownership of all fields used by client-side-apply to the specified `--fieldmanager`. This prevents fields previously specified using kubectl from being able to live outside of server-side-apply's management and become undeleteable. ([#112905](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112905), [@alexzielenski](https://github.com/alexzielenski)) [SIG API Machinery, CLI and Testing]
- Kubectl apply: warning that kubectl will ignore no-namespaced resource `pv & namespace` in a future release if the namespace is specified and allowlist is not specified ([#110907](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/110907), [@pacoxu](https://github.com/pacoxu)) [SIG CLI]
- Kubelet: Fixes a startup crash in devicemanager ([#113021](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113021), [@rphillips](https://github.com/rphillips)) [SIG Node]
- Kubelet: fix nil pointer in reflector start for standalone mode ([#113501](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113501), [@pacoxu](https://github.com/pacoxu)) [SIG Node]
- NOTE ([#113749](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113749), [@jpbetz](https://github.com/jpbetz)) [SIG API Machinery]
- Pod logs using --timestamps are not broken up with timestamps anymore. ([#113481](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113481), [@rphillips](https://github.com/rphillips)) [SIG Node]
- Resolves an issue that causes winkernel proxier to treat stale VIPs as valid ([#113521](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113521), [@daschott](https://github.com/daschott)) [SIG Network and Windows]
- The resourceVersion returned in objects from delete responses is now consistent with the resourceVersion contained in the delete watch event ([#113369](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113369), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t)) [SIG API Machinery]

### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

- A new API server flag --encryption-provider-config-automatic-reload has been added to control when the encryption config should be automatically reloaded without needing to restart the server.  All KMS plugins are merged into a single healthz check at /healthz/kms-providers when reload is enabled, or when only KMS v2 plugins are used. ([#113529](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113529), [@enj](https://github.com/enj)) [SIG API Machinery, Auth and Testing]
- Added a `--prune-allowlist` flag that can be used with `kubectl apply --prune`. This flag replaces and functions the same as the `--prune-whitelist` flag, which has been deprecated. ([#113116](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113116), [@brianpursley](https://github.com/brianpursley)) [SIG CLI]
- Deprecated the following kubectl run flags, which are ignored if set: --cascade, --filename, --force, --grace-period, --kustomize, --recursive, --timeout, --wait ([#112261](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112261), [@brianpursley](https://github.com/brianpursley)) [SIG CLI]
- Dropped support for the Container Runtime Interface (CRI) version `v1alpha2`, which means that container runtimes just have to implement `v1`. ([#110618](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/110618), [@saschagrunert](https://github.com/saschagrunert)) [SIG Node and Security]
- Promote  job-related metrics to stable to follow IndexedJobs GA, the following metrics had their name updated to match metrics API guidelines:
  - job_sync_total -> job_syncs_total
  - job_finished_total -> jobs_finished_total ([#113010](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113010), [@soltysh](https://github.com/soltysh)) [SIG Apps and Instrumentation]
- Promote cronjob_job_creation_skew metric to stable to follow the cronjob v2 controller, the following metrics had their name updated to match metrics API guidelines:
  - cronjob_job_creation_skew_duration_seconds -> job_creation_skew_duration_seconds ([#113008](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113008), [@soltysh](https://github.com/soltysh)) [SIG Apps and Instrumentation]
- Rename the feature gate for CEL in Admission Control to `ValidatingAdmissionPolicy`. ([#113735](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113735), [@cici37](https://github.com/cici37)) [SIG API Machinery and Testing]
- `kubelet_kubelet_credential_provider_plugin_duration` is renamed `kubelet_credential_provider_plugin_duration` and `kubelet_kubelet_credential_provider_plugin_errors` is renamed `kubelet_credential_provider_plugin_errors`. ([#113754](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113754), [@logicalhan](https://github.com/logicalhan)) [SIG Instrumentation and Node]

## Changelog since v1.26.0-alpha.1

## Changes by Kind

### Deprecation

- Kube-apiserver: the unused '--master-service-namespace' flag is deprecated and will be removed in v1.27. ([#112797](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112797), [@SataQiu](https://github.com/SataQiu)) [SIG API Machinery]

### API Change

- Add `kubernetes_feature_enabled` metric series to track whether each active feature gate is enabled. ([#112690](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112690), [@logicalhan](https://github.com/logicalhan)) [SIG API Machinery, Architecture, Cluster Lifecycle, Instrumentation, Network, Node and Scheduling]
- Introduce v1beta3 for Priority and Fairness with the following changes to the API spec:
  - rename 'assuredConcurrencyShares' (located under spec.limited') to 'nominalConcurrencyShares'
  - apply strategic merge patch annotations to 'Conditions' of flowschemas and prioritylevelconfigurations ([#112306](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112306), [@tkashem](https://github.com/tkashem)) [SIG API Machinery and Testing]
- Legacy klog flags are no longer available. Only `-v` and `-vmodule` are still supported. ([#112120](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112120), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly)) [SIG Architecture, CLI, Instrumentation, Node and Testing]
- The feature gates ServiceLoadBalancerClass and ServiceLBNodePortControl have been removed. These feature gates were enabled (and locked) since v1.24. ([#112577](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112577), [@andrewsykim](https://github.com/andrewsykim)) [SIG Apps]

### Feature

- A new --disable-compression flag has been added to kubectl (default = false). When true, it opts out of response compression for all requests to the apiserver. This can help improve list call latencies significantly when client-server network bandwidth is ample (>30MB/s) or if the server is CPU-constrained. ([#112580](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112580), [@shyamjvs](https://github.com/shyamjvs)) [SIG CLI and Testing]
- A new `pod_status_sync_duration_seconds` histogram is reported at alpha metrics stability that estimates how long the Kubelet takes to write a pod status change once it is detected. ([#107896](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/107896), [@smarterclayton](https://github.com/smarterclayton)) [SIG Apps, Architecture, CLI, Cloud Provider, Cluster Lifecycle, Instrumentation, Network, Node, Release, Scheduling, Storage and Testing]
- Added a new feature gate `CELValidatingAdmission` to enable expression validation for Admission Control. ([#112792](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112792), [@cici37](https://github.com/cici37)) [SIG API Machinery]
- Added validation for the --container-runtime-endpoint flag of kubelet to be non-empty. ([#112542](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112542), [@astraw99](https://github.com/astraw99)) [SIG Node]
- Expose health check SLI metrics on "metrics/slis" for apiserver ([#112741](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112741), [@logicalhan](https://github.com/logicalhan)) [SIG API Machinery, Architecture, Auth and Instrumentation]
- Kubeadm: sub-phases are now able to support the dry-run mode, e.g. kubeadm reset phase cleanup-node --dry-run ([#112945](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112945), [@chendave](https://github.com/chendave)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]
- Kubeadm: support image repository format validation ([#112732](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112732), [@SataQiu](https://github.com/SataQiu)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]
- Kubernetes is now built with Go 1.19.2 ([#112900](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112900), [@xmudrii](https://github.com/xmudrii)) [SIG Release and Testing]
- Switch kubectl to use `github.com/russross/blackfriday/v2` ([#112731](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112731), [@pacoxu](https://github.com/pacoxu)) [SIG CLI]
- `registered_metric_total` now reports the number of metrics broken down by stability level and deprecated version ([#112907](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112907), [@logicalhan](https://github.com/logicalhan)) [SIG Architecture and Instrumentation]

### Bug or Regression

- Consider only plugin directory and not entire kubelet root when cleaning up mounts ([#112607](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112607), [@mattcary](https://github.com/mattcary)) [SIG Storage]
- Fix that pods running on nodes tainted with NoExecute continue to run when the PodDisruptionConditions feature gate is enabled ([#112518](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112518), [@mimowo](https://github.com/mimowo)) [SIG Apps and Auth]
- Fixes an issue in winkernel proxier that causes proxy rules to leak anytime service backends are modified. ([#112837](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112837), [@daschott](https://github.com/daschott)) [SIG Network and Windows]
- Kube-apiserver: redirects from backend API servers are no longer followed when checking availability with requests to `/apis/$group/$version` ([#112772](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112772), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG API Machinery and Testing]
- Kubeadm: fix a bug when performing validation on ClusterConfiguration networking fields ([#112751](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112751), [@SataQiu](https://github.com/SataQiu)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]
- Kubelet now cleans up the Node's cloud node IP annotation correctly if you
  stop using `--node-ip`. (In particular, this fixes the problem where people who
  were unnecessarily using `--node-ip` with an external cloud provider in 1.23,
  and then running into problems with 1.24, could not fix the problem by just
  removing the unnecessary `--node-ip` from the kubelet arguments, because
  that wouldn't remove the annotation that caused the problems.) ([#112184](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112184), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship)) [SIG Network and Node]
- Kubelet: Fix log spam from kubelet_getters.go "Path does not exist" ([#112650](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112650), [@rphillips](https://github.com/rphillips)) [SIG Node]
- Kubelet: when there are multi option lines in /etc/resolv.conf, merge all options into one line in a pod with the `Default` DNS policy. ([#112414](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112414), [@pacoxu](https://github.com/pacoxu)) [SIG Network and Node]
- The pod admission error message was improved for usability. ([#112644](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112644), [@vitorfhc](https://github.com/vitorfhc)) [SIG Node]

### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

- Adds a kubernetes_feature_enabled metric which will tell you if a feature is enabled. ([#112652](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112652), [@logicalhan](https://github.com/logicalhan)) [SIG Architecture and Instrumentation]
- Introduce `ComponentSLIs` alpha feature-gate for component SLIs metrics endpoint. ([#112884](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112884), [@logicalhan](https://github.com/logicalhan)) [SIG API Machinery]
- Lock ServerSideApply feature gate to true with the feature already being GA. ([#112748](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112748), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Instrumentation and Testing]
- PodOverhead feature gate was removed as the feature is in GA since 1.24 ([#112579](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112579), [@SergeyKanzhelev](https://github.com/SergeyKanzhelev)) [SIG Node and Scheduling]
- Reworded log message upon image garbage collection failure to be more clear. ([#112631](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112631), [@tzneal](https://github.com/tzneal)) [SIG Node]
- The IndexedJob and SuspendJob feature gates that graduated to GA in 1.24 and were unconditionally enabled have been removed in v1.26 ([#112589](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112589), [@SataQiu](https://github.com/SataQiu)) [SIG Apps]
- The test/e2e/framework was refactored so that the core framework is smaller. Optional functionality like resource monitoring, log size monitoring, metrics gathering and debug information dumping must be imported by specific e2e test suites. Init packages are provided which can be imported to re-enable the functionality that traditionally was in the core framework.

## Changelog since v1.25.0

## Urgent Upgrade Notes

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

 - Deprecated beta APIs scheduled for removal in 1.26 are no longer served. See https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/using-api/deprecation-guide/#v1-26 for more information. ([#111973](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/111973), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG API Machinery]
 
## Changes by Kind

### Deprecation

- The `gcp` and `azure` auth plugins have been removed from client-go and kubectl. See https://github.com/Azure/kubelogin and https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/containers-kubernetes/kubectl-auth-changes-in-gke for details about the cloud-specific replacements. ([#112341](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112341), [@enj](https://github.com/enj)) [SIG API Machinery and Auth]

### API Change

- Add auth API to get self subject attributes (new selfsubjectreviews API is added). 
  The corresponding command for kubctl is provided - `kubectl auth whoami`. ([#111333](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/111333), [@nabokihms](https://github.com/nabokihms)) [SIG API Machinery, Auth, CLI and Testing]
- Clarified the CFS quota as 100ms in the code comments and set the minimum cpuCFSQuotaPeriod to 1ms to match Linux kernel expectations. ([#112123](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112123), [@paskal](https://github.com/paskal)) [SIG API Machinery and Node]
- Component-base: make the validation logic about LeaderElectionConfiguration consistent between component-base and client-go ([#111758](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/111758), [@SataQiu](https://github.com/SataQiu)) [SIG API Machinery and Scheduling]
- Fixes spurious `field is immutable` errors validating updates to Event API objects via the `events.k8s.io/v1` API ([#112183](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112183), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG Apps]
- Protobuf serialization of metav1.MicroTime timestamps (used in `Lease` and `Event` API objects) has been corrected to truncate to microsecond precision, to match the documented behavior and JSON/YAML serialization. Any existing persisted data is truncated to microsecond when read from etcd. ([#111936](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/111936), [@haoruan](https://github.com/haoruan)) [SIG API Machinery]
- Revert regression that prevented client-go latency metrics to be reported with a template URL to avoid label cardinality. ([#111752](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/111752), [@aanm](https://github.com/aanm)) [SIG API Machinery]
- [kubelet] Change default `cpuCFSQuotaPeriod` value with enabled `cpuCFSQuotaPeriod` flag from 100ms to 100µs to match the Linux CFS and k8s defaults. `cpuCFSQuotaPeriod` of 100ms now requires `customCPUCFSQuotaPeriod` flag to be set to work. ([#111520](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/111520), [@paskal](https://github.com/paskal)) [SIG API Machinery and Node]

### Feature

- A new "DisableCompression" field (default = false) has been added to kubeconfig under cluster info. When set to true, clients using the kubeconfig opt out of response compression for all requests to the apiserver. This can help improve list call latencies significantly when client-server network bandwidth is ample (>30MB/s) or if the server is CPU-constrained. ([#112309](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112309), [@shyamjvs](https://github.com/shyamjvs)) [SIG API Machinery and Auth]
- API Server tracing root span name for opentelemetry is changed from "KubernetesAPI" to "HTTP GET" ([#112545](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112545), [@dims](https://github.com/dims)) [SIG API Machinery, Architecture, Auth, CLI, Cloud Provider, Cluster Lifecycle, Instrumentation, Node, Storage and Testing]
- Add new Golang runtime-related metrics to Kubernetes components:
  - go_gc_cycles_automatic_gc_cycles_total
  - go_gc_cycles_forced_gc_cycles_total
  - go_gc_cycles_total_gc_cycles_total
  - go_gc_heap_allocs_by_size_bytes
  - go_gc_heap_allocs_bytes_total
  - go_gc_heap_allocs_objects_total

  - go_gc_heap_frees_objects_total
  - go_gc_heap_goal_bytes
  - go_gc_heap_objects_objects

- Kube-apiserver: gzip compression switched from level 4 to level 1 to improve large list call latencies in exchange for higher network bandwidth usage (10-50% higher). This increases the headroom before very large unpaged list calls exceed request timeout limits. ([#112299](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112299), [@shyamjvs](https://github.com/shyamjvs)) [SIG API Machinery]
- Kubeadm: "show-join-command" has been added as a new separate phase at the end of "kubeadm init". You can skip printing the join information by using "kubeadm init --skip-phases=show-join-command". Executing only this phase on demand will throw an error because the phase needs dependencies such as bootstrap tokens to be pre-populated. ([#111512](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/111512), [@SataQiu](https://github.com/SataQiu)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

- Log messages and metrics for the watch cache are now keyed by `<resource>.<group>` instead of `go` struct type. This means e.g. that `*v1.Pod` becomes `pods`. Additionally, resources that come from CustomResourceDefinitions are now displayed as the correct resource and group, instead of `*unstructured.Unstructured`.
