- `wait.ContextForChannel()` now implements the context.Context interface and
  does not return a cancellation function. ([#115140](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115140), [@smarterclayton](https://github.com/smarterclayton))

## Dependencies

* Implements rolling update for StatefulSets. Updates can be performed using the RollingUpdate, Paritioned, or OnDelete strategies. OnDelete implements the manual behavior from 1.6. status now tracks  ([#46669](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/46669), [@kow3ns](https://github.com/kow3ns))

Volume cloning enables users to specify another PVC as a "DataSource" when provisioning a new volume. If the underlying storage system supports this functionality and implements the "CLONE_VOLUME" capability in its CSI driver, then the new volume becomes a clone of the source volume.

These changes are reflected in the following Kubernetes enhancements:

  - Add missing stable labels to template nodes
  
  ### HuaweiCloud
  - Add auto scaling group support
  - Implement node group by AS
  - Implement getting desired instance number of node group
  - Implement increasing node group size
  - Implement TemplateNodeInfo
  - Implement caching instances
  
  ### IONOS
  - Add support for IONOS
  
  ### Kubemark

### (No, really, you MUST read this before you upgrade)

Maintainers of FlexVolume drivers should implement a CSI driver and move users of FlexVolume to CSI.
Users of FlexVolume should move their workloads to CSI driver.

### Deprecation of klog specific flags

To simplify the code base, several [logging flags got marked as deprecated](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/system-logs/#klog) in Kubernetes 1.23.

  - Add missing stable labels to template nodes
  
  ### HuaweiCloud

  - Implement node group by AS
  - Implement getting desired instance number of node group
  - Implement increasing node group size
  - Implement TemplateNodeInfo
  - Implement caching instances
  
  ### IONOS
  - Add support for IONOS
  
  ### Kubemark

* kubeadm: added `--print-join-command` flag for `kubeadm token create`. ([#56185](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/56185), [@mattmoyer](https://github.com/mattmoyer))
* Implement kubelet side file system resizing. Also implement GCE PD resizing ([#55815](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55815), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied))

* Extends the VolumeSubpathEnvExpansion alpha feature to support environment variable expansion ([#71351](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/71351), [@kevtaylor](https://github.com/kevtaylor))
    * Implements subPathExpr field for expanding environment variables into a subPath
    * The fields subPathExpr and subPath are mutually exclusive
    * Note: This is a breaking change from the previous version of this alpha feature
