// Some volume types allow the Kubelet to change the ownership of that volume
  // to be owned by the pod:
  //
  // 1. The owning GID will be the FSGroup
  // 2. The setgid bit is set (new files created in the volume will be owned by FSGroup)
  // 3. The permission bits are OR'd with rw-rw----
  //
  // If unset, the Kubelet will not modify the ownership and permissions of any volume.

Removed fields which have no other owners are deleted from the live object, or reset to their default value if they have one. Safe ownership transfers, such as the transfer of a `replicas` field from a user to an HPA without resetting to the default value are documented in [Transferring Ownership](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/using-api/api-concepts/#transferring-ownership) ([#92661](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/92661), [@jpbetz](https://github.com/jpbetz)) [SIG API Machinery, CLI,...

### Deployment

- Windows CSI Support: Enabling containerized CSI node plugins in Windows via new [CSIProxy](https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/csi-proxy)
- Recursive Volume Ownership OnRootMismatch Option: Add a new “OnRootMismatch” policy that can help shorten the mount time for volumes that require ownership change and have many directories and files.

### Other notable announcements

### Server-side Apply graduates to GA

- Server-side apply will now use the openapi provided in the CRD validation field to help figure out how to correctly merge objects and update ownership. ([#77354](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/77354), [@jennybuckley](https://github.com/jennybuckley))

### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

- Fixes the flooding warning messages about setting volume ownership for configmap/secret volumes ([#92878](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/92878), [@jvanz](https://github.com/jvanz)) [SIG Instrumentation, Node and Storage]

- Changed ownership semantics of PersistentVolume's spec.claimRef from `atomic` to `granular`. ([#110495](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/110495), [@alexzielenski](https://github.com/alexzielenski))

- Fixed the occasional double-counting of the `job_finished_total` metric. ([#112948](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112948), [@mimowo](https://github.com/mimowo))
