- Added `auditAnnotations` to `ValidatingAdmissionPolicy`, enabling CEL to be used to add audit annotations to request audit events.

- Job: Fix a bug that the SuccessCriteriaMet could be added to the Job with successPolicy regardless of the featureGate enabling ([#125455](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125455), [@tenzen-y](https://github.com/tenzen-y)) [SIG Apps]

- Existing InTree AzureFile PVs which don't have a secret namespace defined will now work properly after enabling CSI migration - the namespace will be obtained from ClaimRef. ([#108000](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/108000), [@RomanBednar](https://github.com/RomanBednar)) [SIG Cloud Provider and Storage]

- Added `UserNamespacesPodSecurityStandards` feature gate to enable user namespace support for Pod Security Standards.
  Enabling this feature will modify all Pod Security Standard rules to allow setting: `spec[.*].securityContext.[runAsNonRoot,runAsUser]`.

* Add a label which prevents a node from being added to a cloud load balancer ([#53146](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53146), [@brendandburns](https://github.com/brendandburns))
* Add a new feature gate for enabling an alpha annotation which, if present, excludes the annotated node from being added to a service load balancers. ([#54644](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54644), [@brendandburns](https://github.com/brendandburns))

* Correctly handle transient connection reset errors on GET requests from client library. ([#58520](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58520), [@porridge](https://github.com/porridge))
* Avoid controller-manager to crash when enabling IP alias for K8s cluster. ([#58557](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58557), [@jingax10](https://github.com/jingax10))

## Known Issues

* The [`kubefed` federation bootstrap tool](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tutorials/federation/set-up-cluster-federation-kubefed/) has also graduated to beta.
* Interaction with container runtimes is now through the CRI interface, enabling easier integration of runtimes with the kubelet. Docker remains the default runtime via Docker-CRI (which moves to beta).
  * **WARNING:** A [known issue](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/44041)

### Introducing Graceful Node Shutdown (Alpha)

The `GracefulNodeShutdown` feature is now in Alpha. This allows kubelet to be aware of node system shutdowns, enabling graceful termination of pods during a system shutdown. This feature can be [enabled through feature gate](https://docs.k8s.io/concepts/architecture/nodes/#graceful-node-shutdown).
