- CustomResourceDefinition schemas that use `x-kubernetes-list-map-keys` to specify properties that uniquely identify list items must make those properties required or have a default value, to ensure those properties are present for all list items.

    * platforms would be satisfied by manually-created PersistentVolume objects.
    * Administrators can choose to disable this behavior by deleting the automatically

    * keep the automatically installed StorageClass and only disable the defaulting

to `true` (it is disabled by default). An API server fronted by an L7 load balancer that already mitigates these http/2 attacks may choose not to enable the kube-apiserver mitigation to avoid disrupting load balancer → kube-apiserver connections if http/2 requests from multiple clients share the same backend connection. An API server on a private network may choose not to enable the kube-apiserver mitigation to prevent performance regressions for unauthenticated clients. Authenticated requests rely...

- Adds "volume.beta.kubernetes.io/migrated-to" annotation to PV's and PVC's when they are migrated to signal external provisioners to pick up those objects for Provisioning and Deleting.

- The pod phase lifecycle guarantees that terminal Pods, those whose states are Unready or Succeeded, can not regress and will have all container stopped. Hence, terminal Pods will never be reachable and should not publish their IP addresses on the Endpoints or EndpointSlices, independently of the Service TolerateUnready...

  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

  - CinderLimits
  - EBSLimits
  - GCEPDLimits
  
  The NodeVolumeLimits plugin can handle the same functionality as the above plugins since the above volume types are migrated to CSI.
  Please remove those plugins and replace them with the NodeVolumeLimits plugin if you explicitly use those plugins in the scheduler config.

- Kubelet: close a loophole where static pods could reference arbitrary ResourceClaims. The pods created by the kubelet then don't run due to a sanity check, but such references shouldn't be allowed regardless. ([#131876](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/131876),...
