## Known Issues

 - Kubeadm: remove the automatic detection and matching of cgroup drivers for Docker. For new clusters if you have not configured the cgroup driver explicitly you might get a failure in the `kubelet` on driver mismatch (kubeadm clusters should be using the `systemd` driver). Also remove the `IsDockerSystemdCheck` preflight check (warning) that checks if the Docker cgroup driver is set to `systemd`. Ideally such detection / coordination should be on the side of CRI implementers...

### Security Improvements for CSI Drivers (Alpha)

### Failing Test

- DRA driver helper: Fixed handling of apiserver restart when running on a Kubernetes version which did not support the `resource.k8s.io` version used by the DRA driver. ([#133076](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/133076), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly)) [SIG Node and Testing]

- kubelet + DRA: For DRA driver plugins (and only for those!), the kubelet now supports a rolling update with `maxSurge > 0` in the driver's DaemonSet. A DRA driver must support this, which can be done via the k8s.io/dynamic-resource-allocation/kubeletplugin helper package. ([#129832](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/129832), [@po...

- The alpha Dynamic Resource Allocation gRPC API is still available, but might be removed in future releases. Driver authors should update their DRA drivers to use the v1beta1 gRPC API. ([#128646](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/128646), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly)) [SIG Node and Testing]

### Bug or Regression

- This release added support for `NodeExpandSecret` for CSI driver client which enables the CSI drivers to make use of this secret while performing node expansion operation based on the user request. Previously there was no secret  provided as part of the `nodeexpansion` call, thus CSI drivers did not make use of the same while expanding the volume at the node side. ([#105963](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105963),...

### Action Required

* ACTION REQUIRED: Removes defaulting of CSI file system type to ext4. All the production drivers listed under https://kubernetes-csi.github.io/docs/drivers.html were inspected and should not be impacted after this change. If you are using a driver not in that list, please test the drivers on an updated test cluster first.

### Deprecation of FlexVolume

FlexVolume is deprecated. Out-of-tree CSI driver is the recommended way to write volume drivers in Kubernetes.
See [this doc](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/sig-storage/volume-plugin-faq.md#kubernetes-volume-plugin-faq-for-storage-vendors) for more information.
Maintainers of FlexVolume drivers should implement a CSI driver and move users of FlexVolume to CSI.
