<h3 id="Close">Close</h3>

<p>
For a channel <code>ch</code>, the built-in function <code>close(ch)</code>
records that no more values will be sent on the channel.
It is an error if <code>ch</code> is a receive-only channel.
Sending to or closing a closed channel causes a <a href="#Run_time_panics">run-time panic</a>.

  1. For volumes provisioned/deleted via external provisioner/deleter, `storage_operation_duration_seconds` will NOT wait for the external operation to be done before reporting latency metric (effectively close to 0). This will be fixed by using `volume_operation_total_seconds` instead

- Apiserver add a new flag --goaway-chance which is the fraction of requests that will be closed gracefully(GOAWAY) to prevent HTTP/2 clients from getting stuck on a single apiserver. 
  After the connection closed(received GOAWAY), the client's other in-flight requests won't be affected, and the client will reconnect. 

* Update debian-iptables and hyperkube-base images to include CVE fixes. ([#67365](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/67365), [@ixdy](https://github.com/ixdy))
* Immediately close the other side of the connection when proxying. ([#67288](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/67288), [@MHBauer](https://github.com/MHBauer))

- Added remote runtime and image `Close()` method to be able to close the connection. ([#133211](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/133211), [@saschagrunert](https://github.com/saschagrunert)) [SIG Node]

### Volumes
* StorageClass pre-installed and set as default on Azure, AWS, GCE, OpenStack, and vSphere.
  * This is something to pay close attention to if you’ve been using Kubernetes for a while, because it changes the default behavior of PersistentVolumeClaim objects on these clouds.

* fix azure retry issue when return 2XX with error ([#78298](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/78298), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))
* kubelet: fix fail to close kubelet->API connections on heartbeat failure when bootstrapping or client certificate rotation is disabled ([#78016](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/78016), [@gaorong](https://github.com/gaorong))

* Switch JSON marshal/unmarshal to json-iterator library.  Performance should be close to previous with no generated code. ([#48287](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/48287), [@thockin](https://github.com/thockin))
