### OpenStack

In this cycle, SIG OpenStack focused on configuration simplification through smarter defaults and the use of auto-detection wherever feasible (Block Storage API versions, Security Groups) as well as updating API support, including:

*   Block Storage (Cinder) V3 is now supported.
*   Load Balancer (Octavia) V2 is now supported, in addition to Neutron LBaaS V2.
*   Neutron LBaas V1 support has been removed.

### Bug or Regression

- Allow deletion of pods that use raw block volumes on node reboot ([#122211](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122211), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied)) [SIG Node and Storage]

- Fixed bug that caused cAdvisor to incorrectly detect single-socket multi-NUMA topology. ([#99315](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99315), [@iwankgb](https://github.com/iwankgb)) [SIG Node]
- Fixed cleanup of block devices when /var/lib/kubelet is a symlink. ([#96889](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96889), [@jsafrane](https://github.com/jsafrane)) [SIG Storage]

 - Scheduler's CycleState now embeds internal read/write locking inside its `Read()` and `Write()` functions. Meanwhile, `Lock()` and `Unlock()` function are removed. Scheduler plugin developers are now required to remove `CycleState#Lock()` and `CycleState#Unlock()`. Just simply use `Read()` and `Write()` as they're natively thread-safe now.

Additionally, these Kubernetes snapshot primitives act as basic building blocks that unlock the ability to develop advanced, enterprise-grade, storage administration features for Kubernetes: including application or cluster level backup solutions.
