- OpenStack Cinder CSI migration is on by default, Clinder CSI driver must be installed on clusters on OpenStack for Cinder volumes to work. ([#98538](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98538), [@dims](https://github.com/dims)) [SIG Storage]

### **OpenStack**

*   OpenStack Cinder support has been improved:
    *   Cinder version detection now works properly. ([#53115](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53115),[ @FengyunPan](https://github.com/FengyunPan))

- Scheduler doesn't run plugin's Filter method when its PreFilter method returned a Skip status.
  In other words, your PreFilter/Filter plugin can return a Skip status in PreFilter if the plugin does nothing in Filter for that Pod.
  Scheduler skips NodeAffinity Filter plugin when NodeAffinity Filter plugin has nothing to do with a Pod.

* PVC may not be synced to controller local cache in time if PV is bound by external PV binder (e.g. kube-scheduler), double check if PVC is not found to prevent reclaiming PV wrongly. ([#67062](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/67062), [@cofyc](https://github.com/cofyc))

- Fix filtering of server status.
- Fix resizing PVC of Cinder volume.
- Disable load balancer configuration if it is not defined in cloud config.
- Add support for node shutdown taint.

The external provider includes all of the above with the additional fixes and features:
- Fix bug to prevent allocation of existing floating IP.
- Fix Cinder authentication bug when OS_DOMAIN_NAME not specified.

- Promote CSIMigrationOpenStack to Beta (off by default since it requires installation of the OpenStack Cinder CSI Driver. The in-tree AWS OpenStack Cinder driver "kubernetes.io/cinder" was deprecated in 1.16 and will be removed in 1.20. Users should enable CSIMigration + CSIMigrationOpenStack features and install the OpenStack Cinder CSI Driver (https://github.com/kubernetes/cloud-provider-openstack) to avoid disruption to existing Pod and PVC objects at that time....

behavior of some watch calls to the server when filtering on fields was incorrect.  If watching objects with a filter, when an update was made that no longer matched the filter a DELETE event was correctly sent.  However, the object that was returned by that delete was not the (correct) version before the update, but instead, the newer version.  That meant the new object was not matched by the filter.  This was a regression from behavior between cached watches on the server side and uncached watches, and...

- [migration phase 1] PodFitsHostPorts as filter plugin ([#83659](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83659), [@wgliang](https://github.com/wgliang))
- [migration phase 1] PodFitsResources as framework plugin ([#83650](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83650), [@wgliang](https://github.com/wgliang))

* Make volume usage metrics available for Cinder ([#62668](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/62668), [@zetaab](https://github.com/zetaab))

- The scheduler skips the `PodTopologySpread` Filter plugin if no spread constraints.
  It will affect some metrics values related to the `PodTopologySpread` Filter plugin. ([#117683](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117683), [@utam0k](https://github.com/utam0k))
