### Avoiding Collisions in IP allocation to Services

Kubernetes 1.24 introduced a new opt-in feature that allows you to
[soft-reserve a range for static IP address assignments](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/#service-ip-static-sub-range)
to Services.
With the manual enablement of this feature, the cluster will prefer automatic assignment from

  * Kubernetes now shares a single PID namespace among all containers in a pod when running with docker >= 1.13.1. This means processes can now signal processes in other containers in a pod, but it also means that the `kubectl exec {pod} kill 1` pattern will cause the Pod to be restarted rather than a single container. ([#45236](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/45236), [@verb](https://github.com/verb))

    *  - vSphere cloud provider (VCP) uses OS hostname and not vSphere Inventory VM Name.
    *    That means, now  VCP can handle cases where user changes VM inventory name.
    * - VCP can handle cases where VM migrates to other ESXi cluster or datacenter or vCenter.
    * The only requirement is the shared storage. VCP needs shared storage on all Node VMs.

* add fieldSelector spec.schedulerName ([#50582](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/50582), [@dixudx](https://github.com/dixudx))
* Change eviction manager to manage one single local ephemeral storage resource ([#50889](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/50889), [@NickrenREN](https://github.com/NickrenREN))

- Kubeadm: during the validation of existing kubeconfig files on disk, handle cases where the "ca.crt" is a bundle and has intermediate certificates. Find a common trust anchor between the "ca.crt" bundle and the CA in the existing kubeconfig on disk instead of treating "ca.crt" as a file containing a single CA.
