- SafeSysctlWhitelist: add net.ipv4.ping_group_range ([#85463](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/85463), [@AkihiroSuda](https://github.com/AkihiroSuda)) [SIG Auth]

* When using IP aliases, use a secondary range rather than subnetwork to reserve cluster IPs. ([#51690](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51690), [@bowei](https://github.com/bowei))
* IPAM controller unifies handling of node pod CIDR range allocation. ([#51374](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51374), [@bowei](https://github.com/bowei))

- Added a new `ServiceCIDR` type that allows to dynamically configure the cluster range used to allocate `Service ClusterIPs` addresses. ([#116516](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116516), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea))

* Removed old scheduler constructor. ([#45472](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/45472), [@k82cn](https://github.com/k82cn))

* Fixes the overflow for priorityconfig- valid range {1, 9223372036854775806}. ([#45122](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/45122), [@ravisantoshgudimetla](https://github.com/ravisantoshgudimetla))


#### Security
* Features:

- Fixed bug which caused the status of Indexed Jobs to only be updated when there are newly completed indexes. The completed indexes are now updated if the .status.completedIndexes has values outside of the [0, .spec.completions> range ([#115462](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115462), [@danielvegamyhre](https://github.com/danielvegamyhre)) [SIG Apps]

- Added new feature gate `ServiceNodePortStaticSubrange`, to enable the new strategy in the `NodePort` Service port allocators, so the node port range is subdivided and dynamic allocated `NodePort` port for Services are allocated preferentially from the upper range. ([#114418](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114418), [@xuzhenglun](https://github.com/xuzhenglun))

* When using IP aliases, use a secondary range rather than subnetwork to reserve cluster IPs. ([#51690](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51690), [@bowei](https://github.com/bowei))
* IPAM controller unifies handling of node pod CIDR range allocation. ([#51374](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51374), [@bowei](https://github.com/bowei))

* Avoid panic when failing to allocate a Cloud CIDR (aka GCE Alias IP Range).  ([#58186](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58186), [@negz](https://github.com/negz))

- Upgrade Stackdriver Logging Agent addon image to 0.6-1.6.0-1 to use Fluentd v1.2. This provides nanoseconds timestamp...

### Avoiding Collisions in IP allocation to Services

Kubernetes 1.24 introduced a new opt-in feature that allows you to
[soft-reserve a range for static IP address assignments](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/#service-ip-static-sub-range)
to Services.
With the manual enablement of this feature, the cluster will prefer automatic assignment from
