Sig Storage graduated two features that had been introduced in previous versions and introduced three new features in an alpha state.

The StorageProtection feature, which prevents deletion of PVCs while Pods are still using them and of PVs while still bound to a PVC, is now generally available, and volume resizing, which lets you increase size of a volume after a Pod restarts is now beta, which means it is on by default.

New alpha features include:

cache by default, as in <1.27 (disabling the change in #115096 by default). This mitigates the impact of an etcd watch bug (https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/pull/17555). If the 1.27 change in #115096 to serve these requests from underlying storage is still desired despite the impact on watch stability, it can be re-enabled with a `WatchFromStorageWithoutResourceVersion` feature gate.

  - CSIPersistentVolume
  - GCERegionalPersistentDisk
  - KubeletPluginsWatcher
  - VolumeScheduling
- kubeadm
  - The DynamicKubeletConfig feature gate is deprecated. The functionality is still accessible by using the kubeadm alpha kubelet enable-dynamic command.

### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

### Bug or Regression

- Changed handling of `CustomResourceDefinitions` with unrecognized formats. Writing a schema with an unrecognized format now triggered a warning (the write was still accepted). ([#133136](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/133136), [@yongruilin](https://github.com/yongruilin))

- Reduce default NodeStatusReportFrequency to 5 minutes. With this change, periodic node status updates will be send every 5m if node status doesn't change (otherwise they are still send with 10s).

  Bump NodeProblemDetector version to v0.8.0 to reduce forced NodeStatus updates frequency to 5 minutes. ([#84007](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/84007), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t))
