* BUG FIX: Check both name and ports for azure health probes ([#56918](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/56918), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer))
* Provides compatibility of fields SizeLimit in types.EmptyDirVolumeSource since v1.7.8 ([#56505](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/56505), [@yue9944882](https://github.com/yue9944882))

- Added alpha metrics for compatibility versioning ([#131842](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/131842), [@michaelasp](https://github.com/michaelasp)) [SIG API Machinery, Architecture, Instrumentation and Scheduling]

  The `flowcontrol.apiserver.k8s.io/v1beta3` APIs are deprecated and will no longer be served in v1.32. All existing objects are available...

        jcifs.smb1.Config.setProperty("jcifs.smb1.smb.lmCompatibility", "3");

    @AfterAll
    static void tearDownClass() {
        // Restore original property

            jcifs.smb1.Config.setProperty("jcifs.smb1.smb.lmCompatibility", originalLmCompatibility);

  Having appropriate QueueingHintFn contributes to reducing useless retries and thus improves the overall scheduler's performance.
  
  **How can I migrate?**
  
  For backward compatibility, nil `QueueingHintFn` is treated as always returning QueueAfterBackoff. 
  So, if you want to just keep the existing behavior, you can register `ClusterEventWithHint` with no `QueueingHintFn` in it.

### Windows containerd support graduates to beta

Initially introduced in Kubernetes 1.18, Windows containerd support goes to Beta on this release. This includes the added support for Windows Server version 2004 (complete version compatibility can be found in the [documentation for Windows](https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/production-environment/windows/intro-windows-in-kubernetes/#cri-containerd)).

SIG Windows is also including several addition to this release:

- Updated google.golang.org/protobuf to `v1.33.0` to resolve `CVE-2024-24786`. ([#123758](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123758),...

        if su - omm -c "gsql -U omm -d postgres -c \"SELECT 1;\""; then

          su - omm -c "gsql -U omm -d postgres -c \"CREATE DATABASE gorm DBCOMPATIBILITY '\'PG\'';\"";
          echo "Database initialized successfully";
          break;
        fi;
        echo "Waiting for database to be ready... ($$counter/12)";
        sleep 5;
        counter=$$(($$counter + 1));

* Switched intstr.Type to sized integer to follow API guidelines and improve compatibility with proto libraries ([#83956](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83956), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))
