- 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. ([#116576](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116576), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))

### Bug or Regression

- Add missing `--kube-api-content-type` in kubemark hollow template ([#98911](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98911), [@Jeffwan](https://github.com/Jeffwan)) [SIG Scalability and Testing]

 apply` and strategic merge patch. You must explicitly set the spec.selector value
 in your manifest. An object with a spec.selector value that does not match the labels in
 its spec.template is invalid.

 - Selector mutation is disabled for all kinds in the
 app/v1beta2 group version, because the controllers in the workloads API do not handle
 selector mutation in

images. This option allows for precise image pull policy specification for master nodes and thus for more tight control over images. It is useful in CI environments and in environments, where the user has total control over master VM templates (thus, the master VM templates can be preloaded with the required Docker images for the control plane services). ([#58960](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58960), [@rosti](https://github.com/rosti))

* Fixed issue with charm upgrades resulting...

* Add 'kubectl set env' command for setting environment variables inside containers for resources embedding pod templates ([#50998](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/50998), [@zjj2wry](https://github.com/zjj2wry))

- Kubeadm: implemented structured output of 'kubeadm config images list' command in JSON, YAML, Go template and JsonPath formats ([#86810](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/86810), [@bart0sh](https://github.com/bart0sh)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

## Changes by Kind

### API Change

- Revert regression that prevented client-go latency metrics to be reported with a template URL to avoid label cardinality. ([#112056](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112056), [@aanm](https://github.com/aanm)) [SIG API Machinery]

### Feature

- Node affinity, Node selectors, and tolerations are now mutable for Jobs that are suspended and have never been started ([#105479](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105479), [@ahg-g](https://github.com/ahg-g))
- Pod template annotations and labels are now mutable for Jobs that are suspended and have never been started ([#105980](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105980), [@ahg-g](https://github.com/ahg-g))

  - Don't update capacity if VMSS provisioning state is updating
  - Support allocatable resources overrides via VMSS tags
  - Add missing stable labels in template nodes
  - Proactively set instance status to deleting on node deletions
  
  ### Cluster API
  - Migrate interaction with the API from using internal types to using Unstructured
