- DaemonSets accept a MaxSurge integer or percent on their rolling update strategy that will launch the updated pod on nodes and wait for those pods to go ready before marking the old out-of-date pods as deleted. This allows workloads to avoid downtime during upgrades when deployed using DaemonSets. This feature is alpha and is behind the DaemonSetUpdateSurge feature gate. ([#96441](https://github....

## Deprecations and Removals

- API

  - The following APIs are no longer served by default:

    - All resources under `apps/v1beta1` and `apps/v1beta2` - use `apps/v1` instead
    - `daemonsets`, `deployments`, `replicasets` resources under `extensions/v1beta1` - use `apps/v1` instead
    - `networkpolicies` resources under `extensions/v1beta1` - use `networking.k8s.io/v1` instead

- Previous versions of Kubernetes on Google Cloud required that workloads (e.g. Deployments, DaemonSets, etc.) which used `PersistentDisk` volumes were using them in read-only mode.  This validation provided very little value at relatively host implementation cost, and will no longer be validated.  If this is a problem for a specific use-case, please...

* Cluster Autoscaler 1.0.1 ([#54298](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54298), [@mwielgus](https://github.com/mwielgus))
* Resolves forbidden error when accessing replicasets and daemonsets via the apps API group ([#54309](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54309), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

- The TopologySpreadConstraints will be shown in describe command for pods, deployments, daemonsets, etc. ([#109563](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/109563), [@ardaguclu](https://github.com/ardaguclu))
