    * Force drain to use delete, even if eviction is supported. This will bypass checking PodDisruptionBudgets, and should be used with caution.

## Dependencies

### Added

  `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))

### 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.
