- DRA: When the prioritized list feature was used in a request and the resulting number of allocated devices exceeded the number of allowed devices per claim, the scheduler aborted the attempt to allocate devices early. Previously, it tried to many different combinations, which could take a long time. ([#130593](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130593), [@mortent](https://github.com/mortent))...

- DRA: when asking for "All" devices on a node, Kubernetes <= 1.32 proceeded to schedule pods onto nodes with no devices by not allocating any devices for those pods. Kubernetes 1.33 changes that to only picking nodes which have at least one device. Users who want the "proceed with scheduling also without devices" semantic can use the upcoming prioritized list feature with one sub-request for "all" devices and a second alternative with "count: 0".

* Fix issue where on re-registration of device plugin, `allocatable` was not getting updated. This issue makes devices invisible to the Kubelet if device plugin restarts. Only work-around, if this fix is not there, is to restart the kubelet and then start device plugin.

- Services implement a field selector for the ClusterIP and Type fields.
  Kubelet uses the fieldselector on Services to avoid watching for Headless Services and reduce the memory consumption. ([#123905](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123905), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea)) [SIG Apps, Node and Testing]

- Fixed cleanup of raw block devices after kubelet restart. ([#83451](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83451), [@jsafrane](https://github.com/jsafrane))
- Add data cache flushing during unmount device for GCE-PD driver in Windows Server. ([#83591](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83591), [@jingxu97](https://github.com/jingxu97))

- During device plugin allocation, resources requested by the pod can only be allocated if the device plugin has registered itself to kubelet AND healthy devices are present on the node to be allocated. If these conditions are not sattsfied, the pod would fail with `UnexpectedAdmissionError` error. ([#117719](https://github.com/kuber...

/nolancon/website/blob/f4200307260ea3234540ef13ed80de325e1a7267/content/en/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/topology-manager.md) enables NUMA alignment of CPU and devices (such as SR-IOV VFs) that will allow your workload to run in an environment optimized for low-latency. Prior to the introduction of the Topology Manager, the CPU and Device Manager would make resource allocation decisions independent of each other. This could result in undesirable allocations on multi-socket systems, causing degraded...

### Other notable changes

* Connections from Pods to Services with 0 endpoints will now ICMP reject immediately, rather than blackhole and timeout. ([#72534](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72534), [@thockin](https://github.com/thockin))

- Fixed very rare volume corruption when a pod is deleted while kubelet is offline.
  Retry FibreChannel devices cleanup after error to ensure FC device is detached before it can be used on another node. (#102656, @jsafrane) [SIG API Machinery, CLI, Cloud Provider, Cluster Lifecycle, Instrumentation and Storage]
