- DRA device taints: `DeviceTaintRule` status provides information about the rule, including whether Pods still need to be evicted (`EvictionInProgress` condition). The newly added `None` effect can be used to preview what a `DeviceTaintRule` would do if it used the `NoExecute` effect and to taint devices (`device health`)...

## Changelog since v1.21.0

## What's New (Major Themes)

### Removal of several beta Kubernetes APIs

- When entering a value other than "external" to the "--cloud-provider" flag for the kubelet, kube-controller-manager, and kube-apiserver, the user will now receive a warning in the logs about the disablement of internal cloud providers, this is in contrast to the previous warnings about deprecation. ([#127711](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127711), [@elmiko](https://github.com/elmiko)) [SIG API Machinery, Cloud Provider and Node]

### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

- Fixes the flooding warning messages about setting volume ownership for configmap/secret volumes ([#92878](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/92878), [@jvanz](https://github.com/jvanz)) [SIG Instrumentation, Node and Storage]

- Kube-apiserver: Fixes spurious warning log messages about enabled alpha APIs while starting API server ([#135343](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/135343), [@michaelasp](https://github.com/michaelasp)) [SIG API Machinery]

- When the `StrictIPCIDRValidation` feature gate is enabled, Kubernetes will be

  In particular, octets within IPv4 addresses are not allowed to have any leading
