* A new `TaintNodesByCondition` admission plugin taints newly created Node objects as "not ready", to fix a race condition that could cause pods to be scheduled on new nodes before their taints were updated to accurately reflect their reported conditions. This admission plugin is enabled by default if the `TaintNodesByCondition` feature is enabled. ([#73097](https://gi...

* [alpha] Users can now add taints to nodes by condition ([design doc](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/contributors/design-proposals/scheduling/taint-node-by-condition.md))

#### Storage

* [stable] Mount options

  the scheduler's in-tree plugins now subscribe to specific node events to decide whether to requeue Pods.
  This allows the scheduler to handle cluster events faster with less memory.
  
  Specific node events include updates to taints, tolerations or allocatable.

* fixes a panic applying json patches containing out of bounds operations ([#64355](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/64355), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))
* Fixed NoTaintMaster to remove master taint and keep all other applied taints.  ([#64986](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/64986), [@ashleyschuett](https://github.com/ashleyschuett))

- E2e framework: the `node-role.kubernetes.io/master` taint has been removed from the default value of `--non-blocking-taints` flag. You may need to set `--non-blocking-taints` explicitly if the cluster to be tested has nodes with the deprecated `node-role.kubernetes.io/master` taint. ([#118510](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118510), [@SataQiu](https://github.com/SataQiu)) [SIG Testing]

  - The taint applied to control-plane nodes "node-role.kubernetes.io/master:NoSchedule" is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release after a GA deprecation period.
  - Apply toleration for a new, future taint "node-role.kubernetes.io/control-plane:NoSchedule" to the kubeadm CoreDNS / kube-dns managed manifests. Note that this taint is not yet applied to kubeadm control-plane nodes.

- Topology Aware Hints now ignores unready endpoints when assigning hints. ([#106510](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/106510), [@robscott](https://github.com/robscott))
