* kubectl cp now safely allows unpacking of symlinks that may point outside the destination directory ([#82384](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/82384), [@tallclair](https://github.com/tallclair))
* Limit use of tags when calling EC2 API to prevent API throttling for very large clusters ([#76749](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/76749), [@mcrute](https://github.com/mcrute))

- Fix: Mount point may become local without calling NodePublishVolume after node rebooting. ([#119923](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119923), [@cvvz](https://github.com/cvvz)) [SIG Node and Storage]

or, for function parameters and results, the signature
of a <a href="#Function_declarations">function declaration</a>
or <a href="#Function_literals">function literal</a> reserves
storage for a named variable.

Calling the built-in function <a href="#Allocation"><code>new</code></a>
or taking the address of a <a href="#Composite_literals">composite literal</a>
allocates storage for a variable at run time.

* [stable] Expose storage usage metrics

  * The available capacity of a given Persistent Volume (PV) is available by calling the Kubernetes metrics API.

* [stable] Volume plugin metrics

  * Success and latency metrics for all Kubernetes calls are available by calling the Kubernetes metrics API. You can request volume operations, including mount, unmount, attach, detach, provision, and delete.

    * when updating a service or when node changes occur.
* kubectl: fixed an issue with "too old resource version" errors continuously appearing when calling `kubectl delete` ([#72825](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72825), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))
