- Existing InTree AzureFile PVs which don't have a secret namespace defined will now work properly after enabling CSI migration - the namespace will be obtained from ClaimRef. ([#108000](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/108000), [@RomanBednar](https://github.com/RomanBednar))...

- Dynamic provisions that create iSCSI PVs can now ensure that multipath is used by specifying 2 or more target portals in the PV, which will cause kubelet to wait up to 10 seconds for the multipath device. PVs with just one portal continue to work as before, with kubelet not waiting for the multipath device and just using the first disk it finds. ([#67140](https://github....

  * Fix dynamic provisioning of PVs with inaccurate AccessModes by refusing to provision when PVCs ask for AccessModes that can't be satisfied by the PVs' underlying volume plugin. ([#47274](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/47274), [@wongma7](https://github.com/wongma7))

- PersistentVolumeLabel admission plugin, responsible for labeling `PersistentVolumes` with topology labels, now does not overwrite existing labels on PVs that were dynamically provisioned. It trusts the  dynamic provisioning that it provided the correct labels to the `PersistentVolume`, saving one potentially expensive cloud API call. `PersistentVolumes` created manually by users are labelled by the...

Sig Storage graduated two features that had been introduced in previous versions and introduced three new features in an alpha state.

The StorageProtection feature, which prevents deletion of PVCs while Pods are still using them and of PVs while still bound to a PVC, is now generally available, and volume resizing, which lets you increase size of a volume after a Pod restarts is now beta, which means it is on by default.

New alpha features include:

- Fix vSphere detach failure for static PVs ([#95447](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/95447), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied)) [SIG Cloud Provider and Storage]

- Existing InTree AzureFile PVs which don't have a secret namespace defined will now work properly after enabling CSI migration - the namespace will be obtained from ClaimRef. ([#108000](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/108000), [@RomanBednar](https://github.com/RomanBednar))...

- The `volume_zone` plugin will consider `beta` labels as `GA` labels during the scheduling
  process. Therefore, if the values of the labels are the same, PVs with `beta` labels
  can also be scheduled to nodes with `GA` labels. ([#118923](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118923), [@AxeZhan](https://github.com/AxeZhan))

  * Marking a StorageClass as default makes it so that even a PersistentVolumeClaim without a StorageClass specified will trigger dynamic provisioning (instead of binding to an existing pool of PVs).
  * If you depend on the old behavior of volumes binding to existing pool of PersistentVolume objects then modify the StorageClass object and set `storageclass.beta.kubernetes.io/is-default-class` to `false`.
