- Add a new `distribute-cpus-across-numa` option to the static `CPUManager` policy. When enabled, this will trigger the `CPUManager` to evenly distribute CPUs across NUMA nodes in cases where more than one NUMA node is required to satisfy the allocation. ([#105631](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105631), [@klueska](https://github.com/klueska))...

- CPUManager Policy Options support is GA ([#130535](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130535), [@ffromani](https://github.com/ffromani)) [SIG API Machinery, Node and Testing]

- Migrate pkg/kubelet/cm/cpumanage/{topology/togit pology.go, policy_none.go, cpu_assignment.go} to structured logging ([#100163](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/100163), [@lala123912](https://github.com/lala123912)) [SIG Instrumentation and Node]

- Added a kubelet metrics to report informations about the cpu pools managed by cpumanager when the static policy is in use. ([#127506](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127506), [@ffromani](https://github.com/ffromani)) [SIG Node and Testing]

- Kubelet no longer reports terminated container metrics from cAdvisor ([#112963](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112963), [@bobbypage](https://github.com/bobbypage)) [SIG Node]
- Kubelet: fix GetAllocatableCPUs method in cpumanager ([#113421](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113421), [@Garrybest](https://github.com/Garrybest)) [SIG Node]

- Passing an invalid policy name in the `--cpu-manager-policy` flag will now cause the kubelet to fail instead of simply ignoring the flag and running the `cpumanager`’s default policy instead. ([#80294](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/80294), [@klueska](https://github.com/klueska))

- Added kubelet metrics to track the cpumanager cpu allocation and pinning ([#112855](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112855), [@fromanirh](https://github.com/fromanirh))
- Added new Golang runtime-related metrics to Kubernetes components:

* Bugfix allowing use of IP-aliases with custom-mode network in GCE setup scripts. ([#62172](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/62172), [@shyamjvs](https://github.com/shyamjvs))
* removed unsafe double RLock in cpumanager ([#62464](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/62464), [@choury](https://github.com/choury))
