- Scheduler doesn't run plugin's Filter method when its PreFilter method returned a Skip status.
  In other words, your PreFilter/Filter plugin can return a Skip status in PreFilter if the plugin does nothing in Filter for that Pod.
  Scheduler skips NodeAffinity Filter plugin when NodeAffinity Filter plugin has nothing to do with a Pod.

- [migration phase 1] PodFitsHostPorts as filter plugin ([#83659](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83659), [@wgliang](https://github.com/wgliang))

behavior of some watch calls to the server when filtering on fields was incorrect.  If watching objects with a filter, when an update was made that no longer matched the filter a DELETE event was correctly sent.  However, the object that was returned by that delete was not the (correct) version before the update, but instead, the newer version.  That meant the new object was not matched by the filter.  This was a regression from behavior between cached watches on the server side and uncached watches, and...

- Pod status updates faster when reacting on probe results. The first readiness probe will be called faster when startup probes succeeded, which will make Pod status as ready faster. ([#98376](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98376), [@matthyx](https://github.com/matthyx))

   * -viper-config can be used to set also the options defined by command line flags
   * the default config file is "e2e.yaml/toml/json/..." and the test starts when no such config is found (as before) but if -viper-config is used, the config file must exist
   * -viper-config can be used to select a file with full path, with or without file suffix
   * the csiImageVersion/Registry flags were renamed to storage.csi.imageVersion/Registry

- The scheduler skips the `PodTopologySpread` Filter plugin if no spread constraints.
  It will affect some metrics values related to the `PodTopologySpread` Filter plugin. ([#117683](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117683), [@utam0k](https://github.com/utam0k))

for the kubelet in the dropin, a structured configuration file for the kubelet is used, and is expected to be present in `/var/lib/kubelet/config.yaml`. For runtime-detected, instance-specific configuration values, a environment file with dynamically-generated flags at `kubeadm init` or `kubeadm join` run time is used. Finally, if you want to override something specific for the kubelet that can't be done via the kubeadm Configuration file (which is preferred), you might add flags to the `KUBELET_EXTRA_ARGS`...
