- Added `allocatedResources` field to container status in pod status that describes the node resources allocated to a pod.
  - Added `resources` field to container status that reports actual resources applied to running containers.
  - Added `resize` field to pod status that describes the state of a requested pod resize.

- Ensure Job status updates are batched by 1s. This fixes an unlikely scenario when a sequence of immediately 
  completing pods could trigger a sequence of non-batched Job status updates. ([#118470](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118470), [@mimowo](https://github.com/mimowo)) [SIG Apps]

- resource.k8s.io/ResourceClaim (alpha API): The strategic merge patch strategy for the `status.reservedFor` array was changed so that a strategic-merge-patch can now add individual entries. This change may break clients using strategic merge patch to update status, which rely on the previous behavior (replacing the entire array).

- Fixed a bug in the cronjob controller where already created jobs might be missing from the status. ([#120649](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120649), [@andrewsykim](https://github.com/andrewsykim))

- Fixed bug which caused the status of Indexed Jobs to only be updated when there are newly completed indexes. The completed indexes are now updated if the .status.completedIndexes has values outside of the [0, .spec.completions> range ([#115462](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115462), [@danielvegamyhre](https://github.com/danielvegamyhre))...
