* **[alpha]** New Bootstrap Token authentication and management method. Works well with kubeadm. kubeadm now supports managing tokens, including time based expiration, after...

  - Added `allocatedResources` field to container status in pod status that describes the node resources allocated to a pod.
  - Added `resources` field to container status that reports actual resources applied to running containers.
  - Added `resize` field to pod status that describes the state of a requested pod resize.

- Node affinity, Node selectors, and tolerations are now mutable for Jobs that are suspended and have never been started ([#105479](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105479), [@ahg-g](https://github.com/ahg-g))
- Pod template annotations and labels are now mutable for Jobs that are suspended and have never been started ([#105980](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105980), [@ahg-g](https://github.com/ahg-g))

- Tighten validation on the qosClass field of pod status. This field is immutable but it would be populated with the old status by kube-apiserver if it is unset in the new status when updating this field via the status subsource.

- Added a delay to node updates after kubelet startup. A random offset, based on the configured `nodeStatusReportFrequency`, helped distribute traffic and load from node status updates more evenly over time. The initial status update could occur up to 50% earlier or later than the regular schedule. ([#130919](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130919), [@mengqiy](https://github.com/mengqiy))...

  - The schema for the alpha `CSINodeInfo` CRD has been split into `spec` and `status` fields, and new fields `status.available` and `status.volumePluginMechanism` added. Clusters using the previous alpha schema must delete and recreate the CRD using the new schema.
