- Fixed recording the `kubelet_container_resize_requests_total` metric to include all resize-related updates. ([#133060](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/133060), [@natasha41575](https://github.com/natasha41575))

- DRA: when enabling the scheduler queuing hint feature, pods got stuck as unschedulable for a while unnecessarily because recording the name of the generated ResourceClaim did not trigger scheduling.

- Kubelet startup now fails CRI connection if service or image endpoint is throwing any error ([#115102](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115102), [@saschagrunert](https://github.com/saschagrunert))
- Kubelet: fix recording issue when pulling image did finish ([#114904](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114904), [@TommyStarK](https://github.com/TommyStarK)) [SIG Node]

- Implemented logging and event recording for probe results with an `Unknown` status in the kubelet's prober module. This helped improve the diagnosis and monitoring of cases where container probes returned an `Unknown` result, enhancing the observability and reliability of health checks....

  2. if there's a transient error happened during "provisioning/deletion", i.e., a volume is still in-use while a deleteVolume has been called, original `storage_operation_duration_seconds` will NOT wait until a volume has been finally deleted before reporting an inaccurate latency metric. The newly implemented metric...

* fix kubelet event recording for selected events. ([#46246](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/46246), [@derekwaynecarr](https://github.com/derekwaynecarr))

- Pod termination will be faster when the pod has a missing volume reference. ([#117412](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117412), [@smarterclayton](https://github.com/smarterclayton)) [SIG Node and Testing]
