- Moved the CPU Manager static policy option `strict-cpu-reservation` to the GA version. ([#134388](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/134388), [@psasnal](https://github.com/psasnal))

- Added a new option `strict-cpu-reservation` for CPU Manager static policy. When this option is enabled, CPU cores in `reservedSystemCPUs` will be strictly used for system daemons and interrupt processing no longer available for any workload. ([#130290](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130290), [@psasnal...

- Added a kubelet metrics to report informations about the cpu pools managed by cpumanager when the static policy is in use. ([#127506](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127506), [@ffromani](https://github.com/ffromani)) [SIG Node and Testing]

- The CPU Manager will now validate the state of the node,  enabling Kubernetes to maintain the CPU topology even if resources change. ([#66718](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/66718), [@ipuustin](https://github.com/ipuustin))

- Fixed relative CPU priority for pods where containers explicitly request zero cpu by giving the lowest priority instead of falling back to the cpu limit to avoid possible cpu starvation of other pods. ([#108832](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/108832), [@waynepeking348](https://github.com/waynepeking348))

- A new kubelet command line option, `--reserved-cpus`, is introduced to explicitly define the CPU list that will be reserved for system. For example, if `--reserved-cpus=0,1,2,3` is specified, then cpu 0,1,2,3 will be reserved for the system.  On a system with 24 CPUs, the user may specify `isolcpus=4-23` for the kernel option and use CPU 4-23 for the user containers. ([#83592](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83592), [@jianzzha](https://github.com/jianzzha))...

- Fixed a bug in kubelet that will saturate CPU utilization after containerd got restarted. ([#97174](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/97174), [@hanlins](https://github.com/hanlins)) [SIG Node]

- Added support for `--cpu`, `--memory` flag to `kubectl autoscale`, started deprecating `--cpu-precent`. ([#129373](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/129373), [@googs1025](https://github.com/googs1025))

* Fixed a bug in the single-numa-node policy of the TopologyManager.  Previously, pods that only requested CPU resources and did not request any third-party devices would fail to launch with a TopologyAffinity error. Now they will launch successfully. ([#83697](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83697), [@klueska](https://github.com/klueska))
