- Added CEL runtime cost calculation into ValidatingAdmissionPolicy, matching the evaluation cost
  restrictions that already apply to CustomResourceDefinition.
  If rule evaluation uses more compute than the limit, the API server aborts the evaluation and the
  admission check that was being performed is aborted; the `failurePolicy` for the ValidatingAdmissionPolicy

* Configurable etcd compaction frequency in GCE ([#59106](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/59106), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t))

- Changed how KMS v2 encryption at rest can generate data encryption keys.

memory resources

Originally, Kubernetes used the v1 cgroups API. With that design, the QoS class for a pod only applied to CPU resources (such as `cpu_shares`). The Kubernetes cgroup manager uses `memory.limit_in_bytes` in v1 cgroups to limit the memory capacity for a container, and uses `oom_scores` to recommend an order for killing container processes if an out-of-memory event occurs. This implementation has shortcomings: for `Guaranteed` pods, memory can not be fully reserved, and the...

- Users of `LogFormatRegistry` in component-base must update their code to use the logr v1.0.0 API. The JSON log output now uses the format from go-logr/zapr (no `v` field for error messages, additional information for invalid calls) and has some fixes (correct source code location for warnings about invalid log calls). ([#104103](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/104103),...

- Kubeadm: make sure the etcd static pod startup probe uses /health?serializable=false while the liveness probe uses /health?serializable=true&exclude=NOSPACE. The NOSPACE exclusion would allow administrators to address space issues one member at a time. ([#110744](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/110744), [@neolit123](ht...

- VSphere releases less than 7.0u2 are deprecated as of v1.24. Please consider upgrading vSphere to...

- Text logging in Kubernetes components now uses [textlogger](https://pkg.go.dev/k8s.io/klog/v2@v2.120.0/textlogger). The same split streams of info and error log entries with buffering of info entries is now also supported for text output (off by default, alpha feature). Previously, this was only...
