- Kube-controller-manager: the dynamic resource controller steps in when a pod got created such that the scheduler ignores it (i.e. spec.nodeName is set) and then takes care of triggering delayed resource claim allocation and/or reserving a claim for the pod. ([#118209](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118209), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth, Node and Testing]

- **[beta]** [Taints and tolerations](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/assign-pod-node/). This feature allows you to specify rules for "repelling" pods from nodes by default, which enables use cases like dedicated nodes and reserving nodes with special features for pods that need those features. We've also added a `NoExecute` taint type that evicts already-running pods, and an associated `tolerationSeconds` field to tolerations to delay the eviction for a specified amount of...

* When using Role-Based Access Control, the "admin", "edit", and "view" roles now have the expected permissions on NetworkPolicy resources, rather than reserving those permissions to only cluster-admin. ([#56650](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/56650), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship))

* Changed ext3/ext4 volume creation to not reserve any portion of the volume for the root user. When creating ext3/ext4 volume, mkfs defaults to reserving 5% of the volume for the super-user (root). This patch changes the mkfs to pass -m0 to disable this setting.

  - When registering with a 1.17+ API server, a CustomResourceDefinition conversion webhook can now request that only `v1` ConversionReview requests be sent to them. Previously, conversion webhooks were required to support receiving `v1beta1` ConversionReview requests as well for compatibility with API servers <= 1.15....

- Kubeadm: add the deprecated flag --port=0 to kube-controller-manager and kube-scheduler manifests to disable insecure serving. Without this flag the components by default serve (e.g. /metrics) insecurely on the default node interface (controlled by --address). Users that wish to override this behavior and enable insecure serving can pass a custom --port=X via kubeadm's "extraArgs" mechanic for these components.

  Two annotations have been promoted to API fields:

- For the `InPlacePodVerticalScaling` feature, the API server will no longer set the resize status to `Proposed` upon receiving a resize request. ([#130574](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130574), [@natasha41575](https://github.com/natasha41575)) [SIG Apps, Node and Testing]

built using golang 1.17. This version of go removes the ability to use a `GODEBUG=x509ignoreCN=0` environment setting to re-enable deprecated legacy behavior of treating the CommonName of X.509 serving certificates as a host name. This behavior has been disabled by default since Kubernetes 1.19 / go 1.15. Serving certificates used by admission webhooks, custom resource conversion webhooks, and aggregated API servers must now include valid Subject Alternative Names. If you are running Kubernetes 1.22...

- Allow ImageReview backend to return annotations to be added to the created pod. ([#64597](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/64597), [@wteiken](https://github.com/wteiken))
