- Migrated the ResourceQuota controller (within `kube-controller-manager`) to use [contextual logging](https://k8s.io/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/system-logs/#contextual-logging). ([#113315](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113315), [@ncdc](https://github.com/ncdc)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps and Testing]

  Kubernetes was previously detecting that the image filesystem was split, even when that was not really the case ([#128344](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/128344), [@kannon92](https://github.com/kannon92)) [SIG Node]
- Fixed an issue in the kubelet that showed when writeable layers and read-only layers were at different paths within the same mount.

- Added support for in-place vertical scaling of Pods with sidecars (containers defined within `initContainers` where the `restartPolicy` is set to `Always`). ([#128367](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/128367), [@vivzbansal](https://github.com/vivzbansal)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, CLI, Node, Scheduling and Testing]

- Migrated the Job controller (within `kube-controller-manager`) to use [contextual logging](https://k8s.io/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/system-logs/#contextual-logging). ([#116910](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116910), [@fatsheep9146](https://github.com/fatsheep9146)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps and Testing]

#### Other deprecations:
- The k8s.io/node-api component is no longer updated. Instead, use the RuntimeClass types located within k8s.io/api, and the generated clients located within k8s.io/client-go ([#87503](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/87503), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG Node and Release]

#### Security
* Features:

  * Permission to use a PodSecurityPolicy can now be granted within a single namespace by allowing the use verb on the podsecuritypolicies resource within the namespace. ([#42360](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/42360), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

  `.spec.schedulingGates` field is always available within the Pod and PodTemplate APIs. ([#123575](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123575), [@Huang-Wei](https://github.com/Huang-Wei))
- Graduated support for `minDomains` in pod topology spread constraints, to general availability.
  The `MinDomainsInPodTopologySpread` feature gate no longer has any effect, and the field is

- Fixed architecture within manifest for non `amd64` etcd images. ([#104116](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/104116), [@saschagrunert](https://github.com/saschagrunert))

- Kubelet: Fixes memory usage within the kubelet's inotify subsystem. ([#108335](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/108335), [@rphillips](https://github.com/rphillips)) [SIG API Machinery, CLI, Cloud Provider, Cluster Lifecycle, Instrumentation, Node and Storage]

  - Aggregated discovery requests can now timeout. Aggregated API servers must complete discovery calls within 5 seconds (other requests can take longer). Use the feature gate `EnableAggregatedDiscoveryTimeout=false` to temporarily revert behavior to the previous 30 second timeout if required (the temporary `EnableAggregatedDiscoveryTimeout` feature gate will...
