- Dynamic resource allocation: when a claim uses "wait for first consumer" allocation (the default), then it will now get deallocated after it was used by a pod. That ensures that the next pod isn't affected by previous scheduling decision and that resources are not kept allocated unless really needed. If keeping a claim allocated is desired, use "immediate allocation." ([#118936](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118936), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))

    * It is intended to supersede the logic that is currently in range_allocator
    * and cloud_cidr_allocator. (ALPHA FEATURE)
    * Note: for this change, the other allocators still exist and are the default.
    * It supports two modes:

#### Other deprecations:
- The k8s.io/node-api component is no longer updated. Instead, use the RuntimeClass types located within k8s.io/api, and the generated clients located within k8s.io/client-go ([#87503](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/87503), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG Node and Release]

* Kubelet won't evict a static pod with priority `system-node-critical` upon resource pressure. ([#74222](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/74222), [@Huang-Wei](https://github.com/Huang-Wei))
* Re-issue Allocate grpc calls before starting a container that requests device-plugin resources if the cached state is missing. ([#73824](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/73824), [@jiayingz](https://github.com/jiayingz))

- the IP allocator in v1.17.0 can return errors such as `the cluster IP <ip> for service <service-name> is not within the service CIDR <cidr>; please recreate` in the logs of the kube-apiserver. The cause is incorrect CIDR calculations if the service CIDR (`--serv...

- Migrated `pkg/controller/nodeipam/ipam/cloud_cidr_allocator.go, pkg/controller/nodeipam/ipam/multi_cidr_range_allocator.go pkg/controller/nodeipam/ipam/range_allocator.go pkg/controller/nodelifecycle/node_lifecycle_controller.go` to structured logging ([#112670](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112670), [@yangjunmyfm192085](https://github.com/yangjunmyfm192085))...

* The LocalStorageCapacityIsolation feature is beta and enabled by default.  The LocalStorageCapacityIsolation feature added a new resource type ResourceEphemeralStorage "ephemeral-storage" so that this resource can be allocated, limited, and consumed as the same way as CPU/memory. All the features related to resource management (resource request/limit, quota, limitrange) are available for local ephemeral storage. This local ephemeral storage represents the storage for root...

- When using `kubectl replace` (or the equivalent API call) on a Service, the caller no longer needs to do a read-modify-write cycle to fetch the allocated values for `.spec.clusterIP` and `.spec.ports[].nodePort`.  Instead the API server will automatically carry these forward from the original object when the new object does not specify them. ([#104673](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/104673),...

- Fixed a bug where the CPU set allocated to an init container, with containerRestartPolicy of `Always`, were erroneously reused by a regular container. ([#119447](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119447), [@gjkim42](https://github.com/gjkim42)) [SIG Node and Testing]
