  - true/strict - perform validation and error the request on any invalid fields in the ojbect. It will attempt to perform server-side validation if it is enabled on the apiserver, otherwise it will fall back to client-side validation.

- The Pod API field `.spec.schedulingGates[*].name` now requires qualified names (like `example.com/mygate`), matching validation for names of `.spec.readinessGates[*].name`. Any uses of the alpha scheduling gate feature prior to 1.27 that do not match that validation must be renamed or deleted before upgrading to 1.27.

that workloads (e.g. Deployments, DaemonSets, etc.) which used `PersistentDisk` volumes were using them in read-only mode.  This validation provided very little value at relatively host implementation cost, and will no longer be validated.  If this is a problem for a specific use-case, please set the `SkipReadOnlyValidationGCE` gate to false to re-enable the validation, and file a Kubernetes bug with details. ([#121083](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121083), [@thockin](https://github.com/thockin))...

//     restrictions like, "must refer only to types A and B" or "UID not honored" or "name must be restricted".
//     Those cannot be well described when embedded.
//  3. Inconsistent validation.  Because the usages are different, the validation rules are different by usage, which makes it hard for users to predict what will happen.

Pruning requires that CRD developer provides complete, structural validation schemas, either at the top-level or for all versions of the CRD.

#### CustomResourceDefinition Defaulting

CustomResourceDefinitions also have new support for defaulting, with defaults specified using the `default` keyword in the OpenAPI validation schema. Defaults are set for unspecified fields in an object sent to the API, and when reading from etcd.

- Fixed EndpointSlice port name validation to match Endpoint port name validation (allowing port names longer than 15 characters) ([#84481](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/84481), [@robscott](https://github.com/robscott))
