* [alpha] Make locally attached (non-network attached) storage available as a persistent volume source. For more information, see [Storage Volumes - local](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/volumes/#local).

#### Volume Plugins

    *   AWS EBS Volumes are detached from stopped AWS nodes. ([#55893](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55893),[ @gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied))
    *   AWS EBS volumes are detached if attached to a different node than expected. ([#55491](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55491),[ @gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied))

* Fix for Pod stuck in ContainerCreating with error "Volume is not yet attached according to node". ([#50806](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/50806), [@verult](https://github.com/verult))
* Fix initial exec terminal dimensions. ([#51126](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51126), [@chen-anders](https://github.com/chen-anders))

- Fixed a bug where a high churn of events was causing master instability by reducing the maximum number of objects (events) attached to a single etcd lease. ([#100084](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/100084), [@mborsz](https://github.com/mborsz)) [SIG API Machinery, Instrumentation and Scalability]

- Fixed attaching volumes after detach errors. Now volumes that failed to detach are not treated as attached. Kubernetes will make sure they are fully attached before they can be used by pods. ([#120595](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120595), [@jsafrane](https://github.com/jsafrane))

- The CSI volume plugin stopped watching the VolumeAttachment object if the object is not found or the volume is not attached when kubelet waits for a volume attached. In the past, it would fail due to missing permission. ([#126961](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126961), [@carlory](https://github.com/carlory)) [SIG Storage]

- Fixes issue where you can't attach more than 15 GCE Persistent Disks to c2, n2, m1, m2 machine types. ([#88602](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88602), [@yuga711](https://github.com/yuga711)) [SIG Storage]

* Ignored mirror pods in PodPreset admission plugin. ([#45958](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/45958), [@k82cn](https://github.com/k82cn))
* Don't try to attach volume to new node if it is already attached to another node and the volume does not support multi-attach. ([#45346](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/45346), [@codablock](https://github.com/codablock))

- `kubectl exec` and `kubectl attach` now honor the `--quiet` flag which suppresses output from the local binary that could be confused by a script with the remote command output (all non-failure output is hidden). In addition, print inline with exec and attach the list of alternate containers when we default to the first spec.container. ([#99004](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99004),...

- Azure: update disk lock logic per vm during attach/detach to allow concurrent updates for different nodes. ([#85115](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/85115), [@aramase](https://github.com/aramase))
- Fix vmss dirty cache issue in disk attach/detach on vmss node ([#85158](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/85158), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))
