* Upgrade Node Problem Detector to v0.4.1. New features added:

    * Add /dev/kmsg support for kernel log parsing. ([#112](https://github.com/kubernetes/node-problem-detector/pull/112), [@euank](https://github.com/euank))

    * Add ABRT support. ([#105](https://github.com/kubernetes/node-problem-detector/pull/105), [@juliusmilan](https://github.com/juliusmilan))

*   The default `auto-detect` behavior of the kubelet's `--cloud-provider` flag is removed.
    *   You can manually set `--cloud-provider=auto-detect`, but be aware that this behavior will be removed completely in a future version.

     disabled by setting the `--horizontal-pod-autoscaler-use-rest-clients` flag to `false`.

### Cluster Lifecycle

- The `auto-detect` behavior of the kubelet's `--cloud-provider` flag is deprecated.

  - In version 1.8, the default value for the kubelet's `--cloud-provider` flag is `auto-detect`. Be aware that it works only on GCE, AWS and Azure.

    * Logging Agent Improvements
    * Bump logging agent version to 0.2-1.5.33-1-k8s-1.
    * Appropriately set log severity for k8s_container.
    * Fix detect exceptions plugin to analyze message field instead of log field.
    * Fix detect exceptions plugin to analyze streams based on local resource id.
    * Disable the metadata agent for monitored resource construction in logging.

pods, memory can not be fully reserved, and the page cache is at risk of being recycled. For `Burstable` pods, overcommitting memory (setting `request` less than `limit` ) could increase the risk of a container being killed when the Linux kernel detects an out of memory condition.

As an alpha feature, Kubernetes v1.22 can use the cgroups v2 API to control memory allocation and isolation. This feature is designed to improve workload and node availability when there is contention for memory...

- Kubelet now detects terminal CSI volume mount failures due to exceeded attachment limits on the node and marks the stateful pod as Failed, allowing its controller to recreate it. This prevents pods from getting stuck indefinitely in the `ContainerCreating` state. ([...

* **[beta]** Node Problem Detector is beta (v0.3.0) now. New
  features added into node-problem-detector:v0.3.0:
  - Add support for journald.
  - The ability to monitor any system daemon logs. Previously only kernel
    logs were supported.

- Kube-proxy, will restart in case it detects that the Node assigned pod.Spec.PodCIDRs have changed ([#113258](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113258), [@code-elinka](https://github.com/code-elinka)) [SIG Network]

    * Logging Agent Improvements

    * Appropriately set log severity for k8s_container.
    * Fix detect exceptions plugin to analyze message field instead of log field.
    * Fix detect exceptions plugin to analyze streams based on local resource id.
