* iSCSI sessions managed by kubernetes will now explicitly set startup.mode to 'manual' to  prevent automatic login after node failure recovery. This is the default open-iscsi mode, so this change will only impact users who have changed their startup.mode to be 'automatic' in /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf.

# v1.15.3

[Documentation](https://docs.k8s.io)

- Reduces GCE PD Node Attach Limits by 1 since the node boot disk is considered an attachable disk ([#80923](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/80923), [@davidz627](https://github.com/davidz627))
