count](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/554) feature was also moved to beta. This enables a volume plugin to specify the maximum number of a given volume type per node as a function of the node characteristics (for example, a larger limit for larger nodes, a smaller limit for smaller nodes).

SIG Storage also worked on a number of [Container Storage Interface (CSI) features](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/178) this quarter in anticipation of moving support...

* Fixes v1.17.0 regression in --service-cluster-ip-range handling with IPv4 ranges larger than 65536 IP addresses ([#86534](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/86534), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

- In a future release, kubelet will no longer create the CSI NodePublishVolume target directory, in accordance with the CSI specification. CSI drivers may need to be updated accordingly to properly create and process the target path. ([#75535](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/75535)) [SIG Storage]

- The PodDisruptionBudget API has been promoted to policy/v1 with no schema changes. The only...

    Potential impacts:
    If an SLO/alert has been defined based on `volume_operation_total_seconds`, it might get violated because of the more accurate metric might be significantly larger than previously reported. The metric is defined to be a histogram and the new semantic could change the distribution. ([#78061](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/78061), [@yuxiangqian](https://github.com/yuxiangqian))

* Kubernetes now supports transparent compression of API responses. Clients that send `Accept-Encoding: gzip` will now receive a GZIP compressed response body if the API call was larger than 128KB.  Go clients automatically request gzip-encoding by default and should see reduced transfer times for very large API requests.  Clients in other languages may need to make changes to benefit from compression. ([#77449](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/77449), [@smarterclayton](https:...

mounter's Unmount implementation is changed to not return an error when the specified target can be detected as not a mount point. On Linux, the behavior of detecting a mount point depends on `umount` command is validated when the mounter is created. Additionally, mount point checks will be skipped in CleanupMountPoint/CleanupMountWithForce if the mounter's Unmount having the changed behavior of not returning error when target is not a mount point.
