- Removed the `ComponentSLIs` feature gate, as it was promoted to stable in the Kubernetes `v1.32` release. ([#133742](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/133742), [@carlory](https://github.com/carlory)) [SIG Architecture and Instrumentation]

- Label `apps.kubernetes.io/pod-index` added to Pod from StatefulSets is promoted to stable
  Label `batch.kubernetes.io/job-completion-index` added to Pods from Indexed Jobs is promoted to stable ([#128387](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/128387), [@alaypatel07](https://github.com/alaypatel07)) [SIG Apps]

- Removed the `CronJobTimeZone` feature gate (the feature is stable and always enabled)
  - Removed the `JobMutableNodeSchedulingDirectives` feature gate (the feature is stable and always enabled)

* [stable] Support Attach and Detach operations for ReadWriteOnce (RWO) volumes that use iSCSI and Fibre Channel plugins.

* [stable] Expose storage usage metrics

  * The available capacity of a given Persistent Volume (PV) is available by calling the Kubernetes metrics API.

* [stable] Volume plugin metrics

- Promoted `NodeInclusionPolicyInPodTopologySpread` to Stable in v1.33 ([#130920](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130920), [@kerthcet](https://github.com/kerthcet)) [SIG Apps, Node, Scheduling and Testing]

### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

- Apiserver_request_duration_seconds is promoted to stable status. ([#99925](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99925), [@logicalhan](https://github.com/logicalhan)) [SIG API Machinery, Instrumentation and Testing]

### **Networking**
#### Network Policy
* [stable] [NetworkPolicy](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/network-policies/) promoted to GA.
  * Additionally adds short name "netpol" for networkpolicies ([#42241](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/42241), [@xiangpengzhao](https://github.com/xiangpengzhao))


#### Load Balancing

- The API server now re-uses data encryption keys while the kms v2 plugin key ID is stable.  Data encryption keys are still randomly generated on server start but an atomic counter is used to prevent nonce collisions. ([#116155](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116155), [@enj](https://github.com/enj))

    *   reflector_watch_duration_seconds
    *   reflector_watches_total
    * While this is a backwards-incompatible change, it would have been impossible to setup reliable monitoring around these metrics since the labels were not stable.
