<p>
Comparison operators compare two operands and yield an untyped boolean value.

In any comparison, the first operand

to the type of the second operand, or vice versa.

  // +optional
  optional string key = 1;

  // Operator represents a key's relationship to the value.
  // Valid operators are Exists and Equal. Defaults to Equal.
  // Exists is equivalent to wildcard for value, so that a pod can
  // tolerate all taints of a particular category.
  // +optional
  optional string operator = 2;

 Extended resources cannot be overcommitted, so make sure that request and limit are equal
 if both are present in a container spec.

 - The default Bootstrap Token created with `kubeadm init` v1.8 expires
 and is deleted after 24 hours by default to limit the exposure of the

- Fixed bug that kubelet resource metric `container_start_time_seconds` had timestamp equal to container start time. ([#120518](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120518), [@saschagrunert](https://github.com/saschagrunert)) [SIG Instrumentation, Node and Testing]

- Removed the incorrect warning event `FileSystemResizeFailed` during pod creation if it uses a readonly volume and the capacity of the volume is greater than or equal to its requested storage.

- Restored the `--verify-only` function in code generation wrappers.

  Also, introduce the following validation rules for Job status when JobManagedBy is enabled:
  1. the count of ready pods is less or equal than active
  2. when transitioning to terminal phase for Job, the number of terminating pods is 0

* `kubectl patch` now supports `--dry-run`. ([#60675](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/60675), [@timoreimann](https://github.com/timoreimann))
* fix sorting taints in case the sorting keys are equal ([#61255](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/61255), [@dixudx](https://github.com/dixudx))

- KUBECTL_EXTERNAL_DIFF now accepts equal sign for additional parameters. ([#98158](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98158), [@dougsland](https://github.com/dougsland)) [SIG CLI]

- UDP and SCTP protocols can left stale connections that need to be cleared to avoid services disruption, but they can cause problems that are hard to debug.
  Kubernetes components using a loglevel greater or equal than 4 will log the conntrack operations and its output, to show the entries that were deleted. ([#95694](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/95694), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea)) [SIG Network]

  
  When `LimitedSwap` is enabled the swap limit would be automatically calculated for
  Burstable QoS pods. For Best-Effort/Guaranteed QoS pods, swap would be disabled.
  
  Containers with memory requests equal to their memory limits also won't have
  swap access, and it is a way to opt-out of swap for a single container.
  
  The formula for the swap limit for Burstable QoS pods is:
