considering that the remaining storage capacity may not be enough to start a new pod. [Storage capacity tracking](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/tree/master/keps/sig-storage/1472-storage-capacity-tracking), a new alpha feature, addresses that by adding an API for a CSI driver to report storage capacity and uses that information in the Kubernetes scheduler when choosing a node for a pod. This feature serves as a stepping stone for supporting dynamic provisioning for local volumes and other volume...

Troubleshoot workloads that crash on startup by creating a copy of the pod that uses a different container image or command.
Troubleshoot distroless containers by adding a new container with debugging tools, either in a new copy of the pod or using an ephemeral container. (Ephemeral containers are an alpha feature that are not enabled by default.)

## Testing

- Fix pod list return value of `framework.WaitForPodsWithLabelRunningReady` ([#78687](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/78687), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))
- Adding `TerminationGracePeriodSeconds` to the test framework API ([#82170](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/82170), [@vivekbagade](https://github.com/vivekbagade))
