local storage resources. In addition, you can now create [Local Persistent Storage](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/121), which enables PersistentVolumes to be created with locally attached disks, and not just network volumes.

On the Persistent Volumes side, this release [Prevents deletion of Persistent Volume Claims that are used by a pod](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/498) and [Persistent Volumes that are bound to a Persistent Volume Claim](https:...

* [alpha] Make locally attached (non-network attached) storage available as a persistent volume source. For more information, see [Storage Volumes - local](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/volumes/#local).

#### Volume Plugins

- Makes locally attached (non-network attached) storage available as a persistent volume source.
- Allows users to take advantage of the typically cheaper and improved performance of persistent local storage

- Raw block volume support is promoted to beta, and enabled by default. This is accessible via the `volumeDevices` container field in pod specs, and the `volumeMode` field in persistent volume and persistent volume claims definitions.

### Storage Capacity Tracking

- Fixes an issue where you can't attach more than 15 GCE Persistent Disks to c2, n2, m1, m2 machine types. ([#88602](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88602), [@yuga711](https://github.com/yuga711)) [SIG Storage]

- Made node affinity in Persistent Volume mutable. ([#134339](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/134339), [@huww98](https://github.com/huww98)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps and Node]

- Fix: get azure disk lun timeout issue ([#88158](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88158), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx)) [SIG Cloud Provider and Storage]
- Fixes issue where you can't attach more than 15 GCE Persistent Disks to c2, n2, m1, m2 machine types. ([#88602](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88602), [@yuga711](https://github.com/yuga711)) [SIG Storage]
