* platforms would be satisfied by manually-created PersistentVolume objects.
    * Administrators can choose to disable this behavior by deleting the automatically
    * installed StorageClass API object. Alternatively, administrators may choose to
    * keep the automatically installed StorageClass and only disable the defaulting

- Adds feature gate `NodeLogQuery` which provides cluster administrators with a streaming view of logs using kubectl without them having to implement a client side reader or logging into the node. ([#96120](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96120), [@LorbusChris](https://github.com/LorbusChris))

### kube-proxy
* In 1.7, the kube-proxy component has been converted to use a configuration file. The old flags still work in 1.7, but they are being deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Cluster administrators are advised to switch to using the configuration file, but no action is strictly necessary in 1.7. ([#34727](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/34727), [@ncdc](https://github.com/ncdc))

### Namespace

- Kubelet.exe on Windows now checks that the process running as administrator and the executing user account is listed in the built-in administrators group.  This is the equivalent to checking the process is running as uid 0. ([#96616](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96616), [@perithompson](https://github.com/perithompson)) [SIG Node and Windows]...

- Updating kubelet permissions check for Windows nodes to see if process is elevated instead of checking if process owner is in Administrators group ([#111079](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/111079), [@marosset](https://github.com/marosset)) [SIG Node and Windows]

## Dependencies

### Added
_Nothing has changed._

- Kubeadm: make sure the etcd static pod startup probe uses /health?serializable=false while the liveness probe uses /health?serializable=true&exclude=NOSPACE. The NOSPACE exclusion would allow administrators to address space issues one member at a time. ([#110744](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/110744), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

- A new set of alpha metrics are reported by the Kubernetes scheduler under the `/metrics/resources` endpoint that allow administrators to easily see the resource consumption (requests and limits for all resources on the pods) and compare it to actual pod usage or node capacity. ([#94866](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/94866), [@smarterclayton](https://github.com/smarterclayton))...
