- CephFS volume plugin ( `kubernetes.io/cephfs`) was removed in this release and the `cephfs` volume type became non-functional. Alternative is to use CephFS CSI driver (https://github.com/ceph/ceph-csi/) in your Kubernetes Cluster. A re-deployment of your application is required to use the new driver if you were using `kubernetes.io/cephfs` volume plugin before upgrading cluster version to 1.31+.

  * `api-servers` - add apiserver addresses to the kubeconfig file instead.

* Fixes an issue where Portworx volumes cannot be mounted if 9001 port is already in use on the host and users remap 9001 to another port. ([#70392](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/70392), [@harsh-px](https://github.com/harsh-px))
