- Added the `StorageVersionMigration` `v1beta1` API and removed the `v1alpha1` API.
  

    * rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1alpha1
    * settings.k8s.io/v1alpha1
    * If you wish to continue using them in v1.8, please enable them explicitly using the `--runtime-config` flag of the apiserver (for example, `--runtime-config="rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1alpha1,settings.k8s.io/v1alpha1"`)

- Introduced scheduling.k8s.io/v1alpha2 Workload and PodGroup API to allow for expressing workload-level scheduling requirements and let kube-scheduler act on those. Removed scheduling.k8s.io/v1alpha1 Workload API. ([#136976](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/136976), [@tosi3k](https://github.com/tosi3k)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth, CLI, Cloud Provider,...

- The `client.authentication.k8s.io/v1alpha1` ExecCredential has been removed. If you are using a client-go credential plugin that relies on the v1alpha1 API please contact the distributor of your plugin for instructions on how to migrate to the v1 API.

- `resource.k8s.io/v1alpha1` was replaced with `resource.k8s.io/v1alpha2`. Before
  upgrading a cluster, all objects in resource.k8s.io/v1alpha1 (ResourceClaim, ResourceClaimTemplate,
  ResourceClass, PodScheduling) must be deleted. The changes are internal, so

- Added support for CEL expressions to `v1alpha1 AuthorizationConfiguration` webhook `matchConditions`. ([#121223](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121223), [@ritazh](https://github.com/ritazh))

- Coordination.v1alpha1 API is dropped and replaced with coordination.v1alpha2. Old coordination.v1alpha1 types must be deleted before upgrade ([#127857](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127857), [@Jefftree](https://github.com/Jefftree)) [SIG API Machinery, Etcd, Scheduling and Testing]

- Introduced `v1alpha1` API for validating admission policies, enabling extensible admission control via CEL expressions (KEP  3488: CEL for Admission Control). To use, enable the `ValidatingAdmissionPolicy` feature gate and the `admissionregistration.k8s.io/v1alpha1` API via `--runtime-config`.
