- This release added support for `NodeExpandSecret` for CSI driver client which enables the CSI drivers to make use of this secret while performing node expansion operation based on the user request. Previously there was no secret  provided as part of the `nodeexpansion` call, thus CSI drivers did not make use of the same while expanding the volume at the node side.

- Give terminal phase correctly to all pods that will not be restarted. 

  In particular, assign Failed phase to pods which are deleted while pending. Also, assign a terminal 
  phase (Succeeded or Failed, depending on the exit statuses of the pod containers) to pods which
  are deleted while running.
  
  This fixes the issue for jobs using pod failure policy (with JobPodFailurePolicy and PodDisruptionConditions 

  - Subtract DaemonSet pods' requests from node allocatable in the denominator while computing node utilization
  - Include taints by condition when determining if a node is unready/still starting
  - Fix `update-vendor.sh` to work on OSX and zsh
  - Add best-effort eviction for DaemonSet pods while scaling down non-empty nodes
  - Add build support for ARM64

### Feature

The old format included the Kubernetes version - "kube-system/kubelet-config-1.22", while the new format does not - "kube-system/kubelet-config". A similar formatting change is done for the related RBAC rules. The old format is now DEPRECATED and will be removed after the feature graduates to GA. When writing the ConfigMap kubeadm (init, upgrade apply) will respect the value of UnversionedKubeletConfigMap, while when reading it (join, reset, upgrade), it would attempt to use new format first and...

## Known Issues

- There is a known issue [coredns/coredns#2629](https://github.com/coredns/coredns/issues/2629) in CoreDNS 1.3.1, wherein if the Kubernetes API shuts down while CoreDNS is connected, CoreDNS will crash. The issue is fixed in CoreDNS 1.4.0 in [coredns/coredns#2529](https://github.com/coredns/coredns/pull/2529).

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:

* Support German cloud for azure disk mount feature ([#50673](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/50673), [@clement-buchart](https://github.com/clement-buchart))
* BugFix: Exited containers are not Garbage Collected by the kubelet while the pod is running ([#53167](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53167), [@dashpole](https://github.com/dashpole))

- The `DeclarativeValidation` feature gate is enabled by default. When enabled, mismatches with existing hand written validation is reported via metrics.
