- The `controller.kubernetes.io/pod-deletion-cost` annotation can be set to offer a hint on the cost of deleting a `Pod` compared to other pods belonging to the same ReplicaSet. Pods with lower deletion cost are deleted first. This is an alpha feature. ([#99163](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99163), [@ahg-g](https://github.com/ahg-g))

*   Fixed bad conversion in host port chain name generating func which led to some unreachable host ports. ([#55153](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55153),[ @chenchun](https://github.com/chenchun))

- Fixed `DaemonSet` to update the status even if it fails to create a pod. ([#113787](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113787), [@gjkim42](https://github.com/gjkim42))
- Fixed `SELinux` label for host path volumes created by host path provisioner ([#112021](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112021), [@mrunalp](https://github.com/mrunalp))

* - fluentd-gcp runs with a dedicated fluentd-gcp service account ([#54175](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54175), [@tallclair](https://github.com/tallclair))
    * - Stop mounting the host certificates into fluentd's prometheus-to-sd container

power to both local storage and Persistent Volumes. [Mount namespace propagation](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/432) allows a container to mount a volume as rslave so that host mounts can be seen inside the container, or as rshared so that mounts made inside a container can be seen by the host. (Note that this is [not supported on Windows](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/60275).)

* change azure disk host cache to ReadOnly by default ([#72229](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72229), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))

* CRI now defines mounting behavior. If the host path doesn't exist, the runtime should return an error. If the host path is a symlink, the runtime should follow the symlink and mount the real destination to the container. ([#61460](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/61460), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer))

  and removed `--short` flag entirely. ([#116720](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116720), [@soltysh](https://github.com/soltysh))
- Kube-controller-manager deprecate `--volume-host-cidr-denylist` and `--volume-host-allow-local-loopback` flags. ([#118128](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118128), [@carlory](https://github.com/carlory)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Network, Node, Storage and Testing]

* Fix device mountable volume names in DSW to prevent races in device mountable plugin, e.g. local. ([#71509](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/71509), [@cofyc](https://github.com/cofyc))
* change azure disk host cache to ReadOnly by default ([#72229](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72229), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))
