* --alpha-endpoint-reconciler-type=(master-count, lease, none) (default
    * "master-count"). The original reconciler is 'master-count'. The 'lease'
    * reconciler uses the storageapi and a TTL to keep alive an endpoint within the
    * `kube-apiserver-endpoint` storage namespace. The 'none' reconciler is a noop

- AzureFile and CephFS use the new Mount library that prevents logging of sensitive mount options. ([#88684](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88684), [@saad-ali](https://github.com/saad-ali)) [SIG Storage]

- Fix: azure file mount timeout issue ([#88610](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88610), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx)) [SIG Cloud Provider and Storage]
- Fix: corrupted mount point in csi driver ([#88569](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88569), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx)) [SIG Storage]

- Fixes a regression in 1.34 release candidates where object storage count metrics could include all instances of all types instead of only the object count for a particular type ([#133604](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/133604), [@serathius](https://github.com/serathius)) [SIG API Machinery and Etcd]

## Dependencies

* You can now resize PersistentVolumes without taking them offline ([ref](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/531))
* You can now set a maximum volume count ([ref](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/554))
* You can now do environment variable expansion in a subpath mount. ([ref](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/559))

    * waiting for the request to be satisfied. It will continually refresh the certificate

  * Create clusters with GPUs in GCE by specifying `type=<gpu-type>,count=<gpu-count>` to NODE_ACCELERATORS environment variable. ([#45130](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/45130), [@vishh](https://github.com/vishh))

- Fixed scanning of failed iSCSI targets. ([#74306](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/74306), [@jsafrane](https://github.com/jsafrane))
- StorageOS volume plugin updated to fix an issue where volume mount succeeds even if request to mount via StorageOS API fails. ([#69782](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/69782), [@darkowlzz](https://github.com/darkowlzz))

 - [Action Required] CSI drivers that call IsLikelyNotMountPoint should not assume false means that the path is a mount point. Each CSI driver needs to make sure correct usage of return value of IsLikelyNotMountPoint because if the file is an irregular file but not a mount point is acceptable ([#129370](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/129370), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx)) [SIG Storage and Windows]

#### Storage

* [stable] Mount options

  * The ability to specify mount options for volumes is moved from beta to stable.

  * A new `MountOptions` field in the `PersistentVolume` spec is available to specify mount options. This field replaces an annotation.

  * A new `MountOptions` field in the `StorageClass` spec allows configuration of mount options for dynamically provisioned volumes.

- Kubelet now hard rejects pods with AppArmor if the node does not have AppArmor. ([#125776](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125776), [@vinayakankugoyal](https://github.com/vinayakankugoyal))
- Mount-utils: treated syscall.ENODEV as corrupted mount. ([#126174](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126174), [@dobsonj](https://github.com/dobsonj))
