`DeviceRequestAllocationResult` struct now has an "AdminAccess" field which should be used instead of the corresponding field in the `DeviceRequest` field when dealing with an allocation. If a device is only allocated for admin access, allocating it again for normal usage is now supported, as originally intended. To allow admin access, starting with 1.32 the `DRAAdminAccess` feature gate must be enabled. ([#127266](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127266), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))...

server communication, the keys are case-sensitive. A bug introduced in Kubernetes 1.8 caused the API server to accept a request with incorrect case and coerce it to correct case, but this behaviour has been fixed in 1.11 and the API server will once again be enforcing the correct case. It’s worth noting that during this time, the `kubectl` tool continued to enforce case-sensitive keys, so users that strictly manage resources with `kubectl` will be unaffected by this change.

## Known Issues

- If kubelet plugin registration for a driver fails, kubelet will not retry. The driver must delete and recreate the driver registration socket in order to force kubelet to attempt registration again. Restarting only the driver container may not be sufficient to trigger recreation of the socket, instead a pod restart may be required. ([#71487](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/71487))

- Fix: After a Node is down and take some time to get back to up again, the mount point of the evicted Pods cannot be cleaned up successfully. (#111933) Meanwhile Kubelet will print the log `Orphaned pod "xxx" found, but error not a directory occurred when trying to remove the volumes dir` every 2 seconds. (#105536) ...

- After DBus restarts, make `GracefulNodeShutdown` work again ([#100369](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/100369), [@wzshiming](https://github.com/wzshiming))

## Changes by Kind

### API Change

- Make STS available replicas optional again, ([#109241](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/109241), [@ravisantoshgudimetla](https://github.com/ravisantoshgudimetla)) [SIG API Machinery and Apps]
- Make STS available replicas optional again. ([#113122](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113122), [@ashrayjain](https://github.com/ashrayjain)) [SIG Apps]

- Correct a reference to a not/no longer used kustomize subcommand in the documentation ([#82535](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/82535), [@demobox](https://github.com/demobox))
- kubectl could scale custom resource again ([#81342](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/81342), [@knight42](https://github.com/knight42))

- In the `wait.PollUntilContextTimeout` function, if `immediate` is true, the condition will now be invoked before waiting, guaranteeing that the condition is invoked at least once and then wait a interval before executing again. ([#119762](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119762), [@AxeZhan](https://github.com/AxeZhan))

API server now exits if it encounters a networking failure (e.g. the networking interface hosting its address goes away) to allow a process manager (systemd/kubelet/etc) to react to the problem. Previously the server would log the failure and try again to bind to its configured address:port. ([#42272](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/42272), [@marun](https://github.com/marun))

- Kube-scheduler: in Kubernetes 1.33, the number of devices that can be allocated per ResourceClaim was accidentally reduced to 16. Now the supported number of devices per ResourceClaim is 32 again.
