### Avoiding Collisions in IP allocation to Services

Kubernetes 1.24 introduced a new opt-in feature that allows you to
[soft-reserve a range for static IP address assignments](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/#service-ip-static-sub-range)
to Services.
With the manual enablement of this feature, the cluster will prefer automatic assignment from
the pool of Service IP addresses thereby reducing the risk of collision.

as unprivileged pods, using the proxy to perform privileged storage operations on the node.

Another feature moving to GA in v1.22 is CSI Service Account Token support. This feature allows CSI drivers to use pods' [bound service account tokens](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/service-accounts-admin/#bound-service-account-token-volume) instead of a more privileged identity. It also provides control over to re-publishing these volumes, so that short-lived tokens...

- The `apiserver` exposes 4 new metrics that allow to track the status of the Service CIDRs allocations:
      - current number of available IPs per Service CIDR
      - current number of used IPs per Service CIDR
      - total number of allocation per Service CIDR

- Reduced the number of cloud API calls and service downtime caused by excessive re-configurations of cluster LBs with externalTrafficPolicy=Local when node readiness changes (https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/111539). The service controller (in cloud-controller-manager) will avoid resyncing nodes which are transitioning between `Ready` / `NotReady` (only for ETP=Local Services).  The LBs used for these services will solely rely on the health check probe defined by the...
