- If the custom resource participates the spec/status convention, the metadata.generation of the CR increments when there is any change, except for the changes to the metadata or the changes to the status.

- Pods which have an invalid negative `spec.terminationGracePeriodSeconds` value will be treated as having terminationGracePeriodSeconds of 1 ([#115606](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115606), [@wzshiming](https://github.com/wzshiming)) [SIG Apps, Node and Testing]

*   The `volume.beta.kubernetes.io/storage-class` annotation is deprecated. It will be removed in a future release. For the StorageClass API object, use v1, and in place of the annotation use `v1.PersistentVolumeClaim.Spec.StorageClassName` and `v1.PersistentVolume.Spec.StorageClassName` instead.

### **Scheduling**

- 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.

#### Behavioral Changes

 - For all kinds in the API group version, a spec.selector default value is no longer
 available, because it's incompatible with `kubectl
 apply` and strategic merge patch. You must explicitly set the spec.selector value
 in your manifest. An object with a spec.selector value that does not match the labels in
 its spec.template is invalid.

 - Selector mutation is disabled for all kinds in the

- Introduce support for CEL optionals (see [CEL spec proposal 246](https://github.com/google/cel-spec/wiki/proposal-246)).
  This feature will not be fully enabled until a future Kubernetes release (likely to be v1.29), but is added in v1.28 to enable

- The alpha feature `AnyVolumeDataSource` enables PersistentVolumeClaim objects to use the spec.dataSource field to reference a custom type as a data source ([#88636](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88636), [@bswartz](https://github.com/bswartz)) [SIG Apps and Storage]
