- Avoid unnecessary GCE API calls when adding IP alises or reflecting them in Node object in GCE cloud provider. ([#90242](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/90242), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t)) [SIG Apps, Cloud Provider and Network]

- **Cluster Lifecycle**
  - [alpha] Ensure critical cluster infrastructure pods (Heapster, DNS, etc.) can schedule by evicting regular pods when necessary to make the critical pods schedule.

* The strategicmerge patchMergeKey for VolumeMounts was changed from "name" to "mountPath".  This was necessary because the name field refers to the name of the Volume, and is not a unique key for the VolumeMount.  Multiple VolumeMounts will have the same Volume name if mounting the same volume more than once.  The "mountPath" is verified to be unique and...

    // maximumSize/Weight is specified in which case ensure that each segment gets at least 10
    // entries. The special casing for size-based eviction is only necessary because that eviction
    // happens per segment instead of globally, so too many segments compared to the maximum size
    // will result in random eviction behavior.

### Namespace

- DRA: when the scheduler had to deallocate a claim after a node became unsuitable for a pod, it might have needed more attempts than really necessary. This was fixed by first disabling allocations. ([#120428](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120428), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))

- The initialization of nodes using external cloud providers now waits for the providerID value to be available before untainting it. This ensures that nodes are not declared Ready without necessary information such as the providerID and zone labels, which are required for integrations like load balancers to function correctly. Cloud providers that do not implement the GetInstanceProviderID method will not require the providerID to be set and...

After substitution, each type argument must <a href="#Satisfying_a_type_constraint">satisfy</a>
the <a href="#Type_parameter_declarations">constraint</a> (instantiated, if necessary)
of the corresponding type parameter. Otherwise instantiation fails.

Instantiating a type results in a new non-generic <a href="#Types">named type</a>;

- The `SupportNodePidsLimit` feature is now beta, and enabled by default.  It is no longer necessary to set the feature gate `SupportNodePidsLimit=true`. ([#76221](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/76221), [@RobertKrawitz](https://github.com/RobertKrawitz))

<p>
If the type starts with the operator <code>*</code> or <code>&lt;-</code>,
or if the type starts with the keyword <code>func</code>
and has no result list, it must be parenthesized when
necessary to avoid ambiguity:

*Point(p)        // same as *(Point(p))
(*Point)(p)      // p is converted to *Point
&lt;-chan int(c)    // same as &lt;-(chan int(c))
