* Implement the update feature for DaemonSet. ([#41116](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/41116), [@lukaszo](https://github.com/lukaszo))
* Make DaemonSets survive taint-based evictions when nodes turn unreachable/notReady. ([#41896](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/41896), [@kevin-wangzefeng](https://github.com/kevin-wangzefeng))

- EndpointSlice should not contain endpoints for terminating pods ([#89056](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/89056), [@andrewsykim](https://github.com/andrewsykim)) [SIG Apps and Network]

*   Kubelet evictions now take pod priority into account ([#53542](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53542),[ @dashpole](https://github.com/dashpole))

  (showing only the starting port). ([#123316](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123316), [@jcaamano](https://github.com/jcaamano))
- Fixed a bug where hard evictions due to resource pressure allowed pods
  to use the full termination grace period instead of shutting down instantly. 

- Kubelet no longer attempts to sync iptables on non-Linux systems.. ([#67690](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/67690), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer))
- Kubelet no longer applies default hard evictions of nodefs.inodesFree on non-Linux systems. ([#67709](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/67709), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer))

  ([#81210](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/81210), [@figo](https://github.com/figo))
- kubelet now exports an `kubelet_evictions` metric that counts the number of pod evictions carried out by the kubelet to reclaim resources ([#81377](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/81377), [@sjenning](https://github.com/sjenning))

### Removed metrics

    - `apiserver_flowcontrol_demand_seats_average`: Time-weighted average, over last adjustment period, of demand_seats
    - `apiserver_flowcontrol_demand_seats_stdev`: Time-weighted standard deviation, over last adjustment period, of demand_seats
    - `apiserver_flowcontrol_demand_seats_smoothed`: Smoothed seat demands
    - `apiserver_flowcontrol_target_seats`: Seat allocation targets
