* Tolerate missing watch permission when deleting a resource ([#65370](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/65370), [@deads2k](https://github.com/deads2k))
* prevents infinite CLI wait on delete when item is recreated ([#66136](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/66136), [@deads2k](https://github.com/deads2k))

 - Fix: get attach disk error due to missing item in max count table ([#89768](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/89768), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx)) [SIG Cloud Provider and Storage]

- Fixed a bug where using `kubectl patch` with `$deleteFromPrimitiveList` on a nonexistent or empty list would add the item to the list ([#105421](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105421), [@brianpursley](https://github.com/brianpursley))

- 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

### Other notable changes

* Fix iSCSI iSER mounting. ([#47281](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/47281), [@mtanino](https://github.com/mtanino))

### **Apps**

*   The `kubernetes.io/created-by` annotation is no longer added to controller-created objects. Use the `metadata.ownerReferences` item with controller set to `true` to determine which controller, if any, owns an object. ([#54445](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54445),[ @crimsonfaith91](https://github.com/crimsonfaith91))

### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

- In GKE alpha clusters it will be possible to use the service annotation `cloud.google.com/network-tier: Standard` ([#88487](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88487), [@zioproto](https://github.com/zioproto)) [SIG Cloud Provider]
