## Changelog since v1.27.14

## Changes by Kind

### API Change

- Improved scheduling performance when many nodes, and prefilter returns 1-2 nodes (e.g. daemonset)
  

PSP as an admission controller resource is being deprecated. Deployed PodSecurityPolicy's will keep working until version 1.25, their target removal from the codebase. A new feature, with a working title of "PSP replacement policy", is being developed in [KEP-2579](https://features.k8s.io/2579). To learn more, read [PodSecurityPolicy Deprecation: Past, Present, and Future](https://blog.k8s.io/2021/04/06/podsecuritypolicy-deprecation-past-present-and-future/).

There is no intermediate action required by end-users, because `v1` and `v1alpha2` do not differ in their implementation.
It is likely that `v1alpha2` will be removed in one of the future Kubernetes releases to be able to develop `v1`.

### Structured logging graduate to Beta

### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

- Service session affinity timeout tests are no longer required for Kubernetes network plugin conformance due to variations in existing implementations. New conformance tests will be developed to better express conformance in future releases.

### Added

Additionally, these Kubernetes snapshot primitives act as basic building blocks that unlock the ability to develop advanced, enterprise-grade, storage administration features for Kubernetes: including application or cluster level backup solutions.
