### SIG Scheduling

* fix network setup in hack/local-up-cluster.sh (https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/60431) ([#60633](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/60633), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))
    * better error diagnostics in hack/local-up-cluster.sh output
* Add prometheus cluster monitoring addon to kube-up ([#62195](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/62195), [@serathius](https://github.com/serathius))

### **Storage**

*   [stable] `PersistentVolume` and `PersistentVolumeClaim` objects must now have a capacity greater than zero.
*   [stable] Mutation of `PersistentVolumeSource` after creation is no longer allowed
*   [alpha] Deletion of `PersistentVolumeClaim` objects that are in use by a pod no longer permitted (if alpha feature is enabled).

- Readjust `kubelet_containers_per_pod_count` buckets to only show metrics greater than 1. ([#98169](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98169), [@wawa0210](https://github.com/wawa0210))

### Bug or Regression

- Fixed a regression since 1.27.0 in scheduler framework when running score plugins. 
  The `skippedScorePlugins` number might be greater than `enabledScorePlugins`, 
  so when initializing a slice the cap(len(skippedScorePlugins) - len(enabledScorePlugins)) is negative, 

### CLI

This release includes a change to [kubectl get and describe to work better with extensions](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/515), as the server, rather than the client, returns this information for a smoother user experience.

### Network

  - Different configuration types can be supplied all in the same file separated by `---`.
- Improved CRI handling
  - crictl is no longer required in docker-only setups.
  - Better detection of installed CRI.
  - Better output for image pull errors.
- Improved air-gapped and offline support
  - kubeadm now handles air-gapped environments by using the local client version as a fallback.

- EndpointSlice controller now handles terminating pods correctly and is better at preventing race conditions. ([#89118](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/89118), [@robscott](https://github.com/robscott)) [SIG Apps and Network]

- Kubectl/drain: add skip-wait-for-delete-timeout option. If a pod’s  `DeletionTimestamp` is older than N seconds, skip waiting for the pod.  Seconds must be greater than 0 to skip.
