- Protobuf serialization of metav1.MicroTime timestamps (used in `Lease` and `Event` API objects) has been corrected to truncate to microsecond precision, to match the documented behavior and JSON/YAML serialization. Any existing persisted data is truncated to microsecond when read from etcd.

### Feature

- Kube-apiserver: when merging lists, Server Side Apply now prefers the order of the submitted request instead of the existing persisted object ([#107569](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/107569), [@jiahuif](https://github.com/jiahuif)) [SIG API Machinery, CLI, Cloud Provider, Cluster Lifecycle, Instrumentation, Storage and Testing]

### Bug or Regression

  - PriorityClass resources will no longer be served from `scheduling.k8s.io/v1beta1` and `scheduling.k8s.io/v1alpha1` in v1.17. Migrate to the `scheduling.k8s.io/v1` API, available since v1.14. Existing persisted data can be retrieved via the `scheduling.k8s.io/v1` API.

- `ValidatingAdmissionPolicy` and `ValidatingAdmissionPolicyBinding` objects are
  persisted in `etcd` using the `v1beta1` version. Either remove alpha objects, or disable the
  alpha `ValidatingAdmissionPolicy` feature in a `v1.27` server before upgrading to a

local storage resources. In addition, you can now create [Local Persistent Storage](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/121), which enables PersistentVolumes to be created with locally attached disks, and not just network volumes.

On the Persistent Volumes side, this release [Prevents deletion of Persistent Volume Claims that are used by a pod](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/498) and [Persistent Volumes that are bound to a Persistent Volume Claim](https:...
