- Scheduler no longer runs the plugin's `Filter` method when its `PreFilter` method returned a Skip status.
  In other words, your `PreFilter`/`Filter` plugin can return a Skip status in `PreFilter` if the plugin does nothing in Filter for that Pod.
  Scheduler skips `NodeAffinity` Filter plugin when `NodeAffinity` Filter plugin has nothing to do with a Pod.

* Make volume usage metrics available for Cinder ([#62668](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/62668), [@zetaab](https://github.com/zetaab))

  when the corresponding csi driver was installed:
  - `awsElasticBlockStore` for `ebs.csi.aws.com`
  - `azureDisk` for `disk.csi.azure.com`
  - `gcePersistentDisk` for `pd.csi.storage.googleapis.com`
  - `cinder` for `cinder.csi.openstack.org`
  - `csi`
  However it was still enforced using a limit in CSINode objects. ([#126924](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126924), [@carlory](https://github.com/carlory))

- Kubernetes no longer monitors firewalld. On systems using firewalld for firewall
  maintenance, kube-proxy will take slightly longer to recover from disruptive
  firewalld operations that delete kube-proxy's iptables rules.

  As a side effect of these changes, kube-proxy's
  `sync_proxy_rules_last_timestamp_seconds` metric no longer behaves the

- Add support for CSI spec v0.3.0 for both Cinder and Manilla
- Add 'cascade delete' support for Octavia load balancers to improve performance.
- Add improved load balancer naming.

### SIG-scheduling

SIG Scheduling development efforts have been primarily focused on improving performance and reliability of the scheduler.

of `topologySpreadConstraints`, aligning Pod Topology Spread behavior with Inter-Pod Affinity. To prevent breaking existing Pods using `matchLabelKeys`, this scheduler behavior was preserved until v1.34. Upgrades from v1.32 to v1.34 should be done incrementally (v1.32 → v1.33 → v1.34), ensuring Pods created at v1.32 with `matchLabelKeys` are scheduled before reaching v1.34. Controllers relying on `matchLabelKeys` no longer need to handle them directly and can use `labelSelector` instead. The new feature...

conjunction with SIG Cloud Provider, is focusing on moving internal APIs that the OpenStack (and other providers) depends upon to staging to guarantee API stability. This work also included abstracting the in-tree Cinder API and refactoring code to the external Cinder provider to remove additional Cinder volume provider code.

Additional work was also done to implement an OpenStack driver for the Cluster API effort lead by SIG Cluster Lifecycle. For the external Cloud-Provider-OpenStack code, the...
