If you are using the PodSecurityPolicy feature (eg: `kubectl get podsecuritypolicy` does not error, and returns one or more objects), be aware that init containers have moved from alpha to beta.  If there are any pods with the key `pods.beta.kubernetes.io/init-containers`, then that pod may not have been filtered by the PodSecurityPolicy. You should find such pods and either delete them or audit them to ensure they do not use features that you intend to be blocked by PodSecurityPolicy. (#31026, @erictune)...

**What is the impact?**

A user that is authorized to create pods can make use of any existing PodSecurityPolicy, even ones they are not authorized to use.

**How can I mitigate this prior to installing 1.5.5?**

1. Export existing PodSecurityPolicy objects:
  * `kubectl get podsecuritypolicies -o yaml > psp.yaml`

- Fixed a bug where init containers may fail to start due to a temporary container runtime failure. ([#127214](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127214), [@SergeyKanzhelev](https://github.com/SergeyKanzhelev)) [SIG Node]

*   The admission webhook configurations API, part of the admissionregistration API, is now at v1beta1. Delete any existing webhook configurations before you upgrade, and update your configuration files to use the latest API. For this and...

  - `--port`
  - `--address`
  The insecure port flags `--port` may only be set to 0 now.
- Kube-scheduler: the `--port` and `--address` flags have no effect and would be removed in v1.24.
  The insecure port flags `--port` may only be set to 0 now.

- DRA: When the prioritized list feature was used in a request and the resulting number of allocated devices exceeded the number of allowed devices per claim, the scheduler aborted the attempt to allocate devices early. Previously, it tried to many different combinations, which could take a long time.
