- Newly provisioned PVs by EBS plugin will no longer use the deprecated "failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/zone" and "failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/region" labels. It will use "topology.kubernetes.io/zone" and "topology.kubernetes.io/region" labels instead. ([#99130](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99130), [@ayberk](https://github.com/ayberk))...

### Scheduling

  - Opaque Integer Resources (OIRs) are deprecated and will be removed in
    version 1.9. Extended Resources (ERs) are a drop-in replacement for OIRs. You can use
    any domain name prefix outside of the `kubernetes.io/` domain instead of the
    `pod.alpha.kubernetes.io/opaque-int-resource-` prefix.

## Notable Features

### Workloads API (apps/v1beta2)

- Profiling can now be served on a unix-domain socket by using the `--profiling-path` option (when profiling is enabled) for security purposes. ([#114191](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114191), [@apelisse](https://github.com/apelisse)) [SIG API Machinery]

- Kubelet: added retry of checking Unix domain sockets on Windows nodes for the plugin registration mechanism. ([#110075](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/110075), [@luckerby](https://github.com/luckerby))

- `topologySpreadConstraints` includes `minDomains` field to limit the minimum number of topology domains. ([#107674](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/107674), [@sanposhiho](https://github.com/sanposhiho))

### Feature

  
  This behavior will change to:
  - Services that have been set  IPFamilyPolicy = PreferDualstack will not be upgraded when the service object is updated. User can still change policy, type etc and existing behaviors remain the same. ([#102898](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/102898), [@khenidak](https://github.com/khenidak)) [SIG Network and Testing]

- Added `kubectl node drain` helper callbacks `OnPodDeletionOrEvictionStarted`
  and `OnPodDeletionOrEvictionFailed`; people extending `kubectl` can use these
  new callbacks for more granularity. Deprecated the `OnPodDeletedOrEvicted`
