`sync_proxy_rules_last_timestamp_seconds` metric no longer behaves the
  way it used to; now it will only change when services or endpoints actually
  change, rather than reliably updating every 60 seconds (or whatever). If you
  are trying to monitor for whether iptables updates are failing, the

    * sync time.
 
    * The goal is for administrators to be able to alert on proxies that, for
    * whatever reason, are quite stale.
* Fix a string comparison bug in IPVS graceful termination where UDP real servers are not deleted. ([#78999](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/78999), [@andrewsykim](https://github.com/andrewsykim))

    * **Technical Details**:
        * When declaring a `response_model` it is used directly to generate the response content, from whatever was returned from the *path operation function*.

- `nodeName` being set along with non-empty `schedulingGates` is now enforced. ([#115569](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115569), [@Huang-Wei](https://github.com/Huang-Wei))
- `node_stage_path` is now set whenever available for expansion during mount ([#115346](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115346), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied))

    * Force drain to use delete, even if eviction is supported. This will bypass checking PodDisruptionBudgets, and should be used with caution.
* kubeadm now errors out whenever a not supported component config version is supplied for the kubelet and kube-proxy ([#85639](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/85639), [@rosti](https://github.com/rosti))

### OpenStack

In this cycle, SIG OpenStack focused on configuration simplification through smarter defaults and the use of auto-detection wherever feasible (Block Storage API versions, Security Groups) as well as updating API support, including:

*   Block Storage (Cinder) V3 is now supported.
