- Revised the logic for `DaemonSet` rolling update to exclude nodes if scheduling constraints are not met. This eliminates the problem of rolling updates to a `DaemonSet` getting stuck around tolerations.

- Revised the logic for DaemonSet rolling update to exclude nodes if scheduling constraints are not met.
  This eliminates the problem of rolling updates to a DaemonSet getting stuck around tolerations. ([#120785](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120785), [@mochizuki875](https://github.com/mochizuki875)) [SIG Apps and Testing]

- Added `--concurrent-daemonset-syncs` command line flag to kube-controller-manager. This value sets the number of workers for the daemonset controller. ([#128444](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/128444), [@tosi3k](https://github.com/tosi3k))

### Apps

- Fix a bug that pods not be deleted from unmatched nodes by daemon controller ([#78974](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/78974), [@DaiHao](https://github.com/DaiHao))
- Fix a bug that causes DaemonSet rolling update hang when there exist failed pods. ([#78170](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/78170), [@DaiHao](https://github.com/DaiHao))

### Auth

### API Change

- 'ACTION REQUIRED: The Dynamic Resource Allocation (DRA) driver's DaemonSet
  must be deployed with a service account that enables writing ResourceSlice
  and reading ResourceClaim objects.'

- Kubernetes is now built with go 1.22.8 ([#128131](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/128131), [@haitch](https://github.com/haitch)) [SIG Release and Testing]

### Bug or Regression

- Ensure daemonset controller to count old unhealthy pods towards max unavailable budget ([#127774](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127774), [@ncdc](https://github.com/ncdc)) [SIG Apps]

- kubelet + DRA: For DRA driver plugins (and only for those!), the kubelet now supports a rolling update with `maxSurge > 0` in the driver's DaemonSet. A DRA driver must support this, which can be done via the k8s.io/dynamic-resource-allocation/kubeletplugin helper package. ([#129832](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/129832), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly)) [SIG Node, Storage and...

- Resolved a bug where DaemonSet updates unnecessarily triggered duplicate validation due to overlapping calls to `ValidateDaemonSet` and ValidateDaemonSetUpdate. This redundancy has been removed to prevent repeated validation runs. ([#132548](https://github.com/kubernetes/kube...
