### Immutable Secrets and ConfigMaps

Immutable Secrets and ConfigMaps graduates to GA. This feature allows users to specify that the contents of a particular Secret or ConfigMap is immutable for its object lifetime. For such instances, Kubelet will not watch/poll for changes and therefore reducing apiserver load.

 a consistent way. This restriction may be lifted in the future, but
 it is likely that that selectors will remain immutable after the move to v1.
 You can continue to use code that depends on mutable selectors by calling
 the apps/v1beta1 API in this release, but you should start planning for code
 that does not depend on mutable selectors.

 - Extended Resources are fully-qualified resource names outside the

- Relaxed API validation to allow pod node selector to be mutable for gated pods (additions only, no deletions or mutations). ([#116161](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116161), [@danielvegamyhre](https://github.com/danielvegamyhre))

- The `TerminationGracePeriodSeconds` on pod specs and container probes should not be negative. Negative values of `TerminationGracePeriodSeconds` will be treated as the value `1s` on the delete path. Immutable field validation will be relaxed in order to update negative values. In a future release, negative values will not be permitted. ([#98866](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98866), [@wzshiming](https://github.com/wzshiming))

- Node affinity, Node selectors, and tolerations are now mutable for Jobs that are suspended and have never been started ([#105479](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105479), [@ahg-g](https://github.com/ahg-g))
