## Known Issues
- volumeDevices mapping ignored when container is privileged

- Specifying PluginConfig for the same plugin more than once fails scheduler startup.
  Specifying extenders and configuring .ignoredResources for the NodeResourcesFit plugin fails ([#88870](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88870), [@alculquicondor](https://github.com/alculquicondor)) [SIG Scheduling]

- Added `ResourceVersion` as a precondition for delete in order to ensure a delete fails if an unobserved change happens to an object. ([#74040](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/74040), [@ajatprabha](https://github.com/ajatprabha))

- Kubeadm: fixed issue where etcd member promotion fails with an error saying the member was already promoted ([#132281](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/132281), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

## Dependencies

### Added

- Fixed a bug in `kube-proxy` `nftables` mode (GA as of `v1.33`) which fails to determine if traffic originates from a local source on the node. The issue was caused by using the wrong meta `iif` instead of `iifname` for name based matches. ([#134024](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/134024), [@jack4it](https:...

- Kubeadm: fixed issue where etcd member promotion fails with an error saying the member was already promoted ([#132282](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/132282), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

## Dependencies

### Added

- Introduce new apiserver metric apiserver_flowcontrol_current_inqueue_seats. This metric is analogous to `apiserver_flowcontrol_current_inqueue_requests` but tracks totals seats as each request can take more than 1 seat.

* In case kubeadm can't access the current Kubernetes version remotely and fails to parse the git-based version it falls back to a static predefined value of k8s.io/kubernetes/cmd/kubeadm/app/constants.CurrentKubernetesVersion.
