- Stopped expanding PVCs annotated with node-expand-not-required. ([#131907](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/131907), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied)) [SIG API Machinery, Etcd, Node, Storage and Testing]

*   Azure Load Balancer Auto Mode: Services can be annotated to allow auto selection of available load balancers and to provide specific availability sets that host the load balancers (for example, `service.beta.kubernetes.io/azure-load-balancer-mode=auto|as1,as2...`)

### **CLI**

- Fixed a bug which could have allowed an improperly annotated LoadBalancer service to become active. ([#109601](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/109601), [@mdbooth](https://github.com/mdbooth))

* Add a new feature gate for enabling an alpha annotation which, if present, excludes the annotated node from being added to a service load balancers. ([#54644](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54644), [@brendandburns](https://github.com/brendandburns))

* Default ClusterRole and ClusterRoleBinding objects are automatically updated at server start to add missing permissions and subjects (extra permissions and subjects are left in place). To prevent autoupdating a particular role or rolebinding, annotate it with `rbac.authorization.kubernetes.io/autoupdate=false`.

- Deprecate `--record` flag in `kubectl`. The `--record` flag is being replaced with the [mechanism](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/tree/master/keps/sig-cli/859-kubectl-headers) which annotates HTTP requests with kubectl command details.
