For floating-point arguments negative zero, NaN, and infinity the following rules apply:

<pre>
   x        y    min(x, y)    max(x, y)

  -0.0    0.0         -0.0          0.0    // negative zero is smaller than (non-negative) zero
  -Inf      y         -Inf            y    // negative infinity is smaller than any other number

// DownwardAPIVolumeFile represents information to create the file containing the pod field
message DownwardAPIVolumeFile {
  // Required: Path is  the relative path name of the file to be created. Must not be absolute or contain the '..' path. Must be utf-8 encoded. The first item of the relative path must not start with '..'
  optional string path = 1;

- The `TerminationGracePeriodSeconds` on pod specs and container probes should not be negative. Negative values of `TerminationGracePeriodSeconds` will be treated as the value `1s` on the delete path. Immutable field validation will be relaxed in order to update negative values. In a future release, negative values will not be permitted. ([#98866](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98866), [@wzshiming](https://github.com/wzshiming))

- Fixed a `v1.28` regression around restarting init containers in the right order relative to normal containers. ([#120281](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120281), [@gjkim42](https://github.com/gjkim42))
- Fixed a `v1.28` regression handling negative index json patches. ([#120327](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120327), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

  The `skippedScorePlugins` number might be greater than `enabledScorePlugins`, 
  so when initializing a slice the cap(len(skippedScorePlugins) - len(enabledScorePlugins)) is negative, 
  which is not allowed. ([#121666](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121666), [@kerthcet](https://github.com/kerthcet)) [SIG Scheduling]

    *  - Created new GCE_SSH_KEY allowing specification of SSH keys for gce, gke, and kubemark.
    *  - AWS_SSH_KEY, previously assumed to be an absolute path can now be either relative or absolute
    *  - LOCAL_SSH_KEY (for local and vsphere providers) was previously assumed to be a filename relative to ~/.ssh but can now also be an absolute path

- Set kubelet option `--volume-stats-agg-period` to negative value to disable volume calculations. ([#96675](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96675), [@pacoxu](https://github.com/pacoxu)) [SIG Node]

### Failing Test

- Fixed binding of block PersistentVolumes / PersistentVolumeClaims when BlockVolume feature is off. ([#84049](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/84049), [@jsafrane](https://github.com/jsafrane))
- Report non-confusing error for negative storage size in PVC spec. ([#82759](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/82759), [@sttts](https://github.com/sttts))

- in an `--encryption-provider-config` config file, an explicit `cacheSize: 0` parameter previously silently defaulted to caching 1000 keys. In Kubernetes 1.18, this now returns a config validation error. To disable caching, you can specify a negative cacheSize value in Kubernetes 1.18+.

* CDK nginx ingress is now handled via a daemon set. ([#57530](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/57530), [@hyperbolic2346](https://github.com/hyperbolic2346))

* Move local PV negative scheduling tests to integration ([#57570](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/57570), [@sbezverk](https://github.com/sbezverk))
