*   Block Storage (Cinder) V3 is now supported.
*   Load Balancer (Octavia) V2 is now supported, in addition to Neutron LBaaS V2.
*   Neutron LBaas V1 support has been removed.

This work enables Kubernetes to take full advantage of the relevant services as exposed by OpenStack clouds. Refer to the [Cloud Providers](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/cloud-providers/#openstack) documentation for more information.

### CSI Health Monitoring

b.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/361) makes it possible to set requests and limits on ephemeral local storage resources. In addition, you can now create [Local Persistent Storage](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/121), which enables PersistentVolumes to be created with locally attached disks, and not just network volumes.

On the Persistent Volumes side, this release [Prevents deletion of Persistent Volume Claims that are used by a pod](https://github.com/kuberne...

- [alpha: kubectl apply --prune --applyset] Enables certain custom resources (CRs) to be used as ApplySet parent objects. To enable this for a given CR, apply the label `applyset.k8s.io/is-parent-type: true` to the CustomResourceDefinition (CRD) that defines it . ([#116353](https://github.com/kube...

- The alpha feature `AnyVolumeDataSource` enables PersistentVolumeClaim objects to use the spec.dataSource field to reference a custom type as a data source ([#88636](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88636), [@bswartz](https://github.com/bswartz)) [SIG Apps and Storage]

* Add support for PodSecurityPolicy on GCE: `ENABLE_POD_SECURITY_POLICY=true` enables the admission controller, and installs policies for default addons. ([#52367](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52367), [@tallclair](https://github.com/tallclair))

- Kube-proxy handles Terminating EndpointSlices conditions and enables zero downtime deployments for Services with ExternalTrafficPolicy=Local author: @andrewsykim ([#117718](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117718), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea)) [SIG Network, Testing and Windows]

### SIG Openstack

CSI support for Windows nodes moves to GA in the 1.22 release. In Kubernetes v1.22, Windows privileged containers are only an alpha feature. To allow using CSI storage on Windows nodes, [CSIProxy](https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/csi-proxy) enables CSI node plugins to be deployed as unprivileged pods, using the proxy to perform privileged storage operations on the node.

These extension points can now be abstracted away due to their irrelevance for most users.

### CSI Migration updates

CSI Migration enables the replacement of existing in-tree storage plugins such as `kubernetes.io/gce-pd` or `kubernetes.io/aws-ebs` with a corresponding CSI driver.
If CSI Migration is working properly, Kubernetes end users shouldn’t notice a difference.
