- `VolumeBindingArgs` now allow `BindTimeoutSeconds` to be set as zero, while the value zero indicates no waiting for the checking of volume binding operation. ([#99835](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99835), [@chendave](https://github.com/chendave)) [SIG Scheduling and Storage]

* Fix load balancer issues when running zero nodes in Azure vmss. ([#68775](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/68775), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer))

- The `WaitFor` and `WaitForWithContext` functions in the wait package have now been marked private. Callers should use the equivalent `Poll*` method with a zero duration interval. ([#115116](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115116), [@smarterclayton](https://github.com/smarterclayton))

### **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).

- Kube-proxy handles Terminating EndpointSlices conditions and enables zero downtime deployments for Services with ExternalTrafficPolicy=Local author: @andrewsykim ([#117718](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117718), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea)) [SIG Network, Testing and Windows]

* Change CollisionCount from int64 to int32 across controllers ([#50575](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/50575), [@dixudx](https://github.com/dixudx))
* fix GPU resource validation that incorrectly allows zero limits ([#50218](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/50218), [@dixudx](https://github.com/dixudx))

 ([#64792](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/64792), [@luxas](https://github.com/luxas))

- Fixed CEL estimated cost of `replace()` to handle a zero length replacement string correctly.
  Previously this would cause the estimated cost to be higher than it should be. ([#120097](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120097), [@jpbetz](https://github.com/jpbetz)) [SIG API Machinery]

- Fixed relative CPU priority for pods where containers explicitly request zero cpu by giving the lowest priority instead of falling back to the cpu limit to avoid possible cpu starvation of other pods. ([#108832](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/108832), [@waynepeking348](https://github.com/waynepeking348))

* Ensures the conformance test image saves results before exiting when ginkgo returns non-zero value. ([#76039](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/76039), [@johnSchnake](https://github.com/johnSchnake))
