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:
* Online volume resizing will increase the filesystem size of a resized volume without requiring a Pod restart.

## Changelog since v1.32.0

## Urgent Upgrade Notes 

### (No, really, you MUST read this before you upgrade)

- Fix static pod restarts in cases where the container is not present. ([#108189](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/108189), [@rphillips](https://github.com/rphillips)) [SIG Node]

### API Machinery

#### kube-apiserver
* Fixed an issue with `APIService` auto-registration. This issue affected rolling restarts of HA API servers that added or removed API groups being served.([#51921](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51921))

* Fix issue where on re-registration of device plugin, `allocatable` was not getting updated. This issue makes devices invisible to the Kubelet if device plugin restarts. Only work-around, if this fix is not there, is to restart the kubelet and then start device plugin. ([#63118](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/63118), [@vikaschoudhary16](https://github.com/vikaschoudhary16))

    * Disable timestamp adjustment in logs to optimize performance.
    * Reduce logging agent buffer chunk limit to 512k to optimize performance.

- Fixes a 1.32 regression where nodes may fail to report status and renew serving certificates after the kubelet restarts ([#130356](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130356), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea)) [SIG Node]

* Fixes an issue with APIService auto-registration affecting rolling HA apiserver restarts that add or remove API groups being served. ([#51921](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51921), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

- Ingress objects are now persisted in etcd using the networking.k8s.io/v1beta1 version ([#77139](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/77139), [@cmluciano](https://github.com/cmluciano))
- Transparent kube-proxy restarts when using IPVS are now allowed. ([#75283](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/75283), [@lbernail](https://github.com/lbernail))
- Packets considered INVALID by conntrack are now dropped. In particular, this fixes

- Added a mechanism for configurable container restarts: _container-level restart rules_. This was an alpha feature behind the `ContainerRestartRules` feature gate.
