- Added enforcement of an upper cost bound for DRA evaluations of CEL. The API server and scheduler now enforce an upper bound on the cost and runtime steps required for evaluating a CEL expression.

### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

- Kube-apiserver: sets an upper-bound on the lifetime of idle keep-alive connections and time to read the headers of incoming requests ([#103958](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/103958), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG API Machinery and Node]

- Lower and upper case feature flag values are now allowed, but the name still has to match. ([#121441](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121441), [@soltysh](https://github.com/soltysh))

- Added scheduler preemption support for pods using `ReadWriteOncePod` PVCs ([#114051](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114051),...

* Increase allowed lag for ssh key sync loop in tunneler to allow for one failure ([#60068](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/60068), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t))

- Kube-apiserver: sets an upper-bound on the lifetime of idle keep-alive connections and the time to read the headers of incoming requests. ([#103958](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/103958), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

    - `apiserver_flowcontrol_lower_limit_seats`: Configured lower bound on number of execution seats available to each priority level
    - `apiserver_flowcontrol_upper_limit_seats`: Configured upper bound on number of execution seats available to each priority level

- New feature gate, ServiceIPStaticSubrange, to enable the new strategy in the Service IP allocators, so the IP range is subdivided and dynamic allocated ClusterIP addresses for Services are allocated preferently from the upper range.

    * The apiserver also now takes an optional flag "--maximum-startup-sequence-duration". This allows you to explicitly define an upper bound on the apiserver startup sequences before healthz begins to fail. By keeping the kubelet liveness initial delay short, this can enable quick kubelet recovery as soon as we have a boot sequence which has not completed in our expected time frame,...
