- `VolumeBindingArgs` now allow `BindTimeoutSeconds` to be set as zero, while the value zero indicates no waiting for the checking of volume binding operation. ([#99835](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99835), [@chendave](https://github.com/chendave)) [SIG Scheduling and Storage]

* Fix load balancer issues when running zero nodes in Azure vmss. ([#68775](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/68775), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer))

- The `WaitFor` and `WaitForWithContext` functions in the wait package have now been marked private. Callers should use the equivalent `Poll*` method with a zero duration interval. ([#115116](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115116), [@smarterclayton](https://github.com/smarterclayton))

### **Storage**

*   [stable] `PersistentVolume` and `PersistentVolumeClaim` objects must now have a capacity greater than zero.
*   [stable] Mutation of `PersistentVolumeSource` after creation is no longer allowed
*   [alpha] Deletion of `PersistentVolumeClaim` objects that are in use by a pod no longer permitted (if alpha feature is enabled).
