* Introducing `tf.types.experimental.FunctionType` as the comprehensive representation of the signature of `tf.function` callables. It can be accessed through the `function_type` property of `tf.function`s and `ConcreteFunction`s. See the `tf.types.experimental.FunctionType` documentation for more details.

- DRA API: resource.k8s.io/v1alpha3 now only contains DeviceTaintRule. All other types got removed because they became obsolete when introducing the v1beta1 API in 1.32.

- Introducing new semantic for metric `volume_operation_total_seconds` to be the end to end latency of volume provisioning/deletion. Existing metric "storage_operation_duration_seconds" will remain untouched, however it is exposed to the following potential issues:...

- Fixed [121094](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/121094) by re-introducing the readiness predicate for `externalTrafficPolicy: Local` services. ([#121116](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121116), [@alexanderConstantinescu](https://github.com/alexanderConstantinescu))

- Introduce `minReadySeconds` api to the `StatefulSets`. ([#100842](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/100842), [@ravisantoshgudimetla](https://github.com/ravisantoshgudimetla))

- Introducing new flag --as-user-extra persistent flag in kubectl that can be used to pass extra arguments during the impersonation ([#134378](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/134378), [@ardaguclu](https://github.com/ardaguclu)) [SIG CLI and Testing]...

### SIG Scheduling

[SIG Scheduling][] is responsible for generic scheduler and scheduling components.

For the 1.8 release, SIG Scheduling extended the concept of cluster sharing by introducing
pod priority and pod preemption. These features allow mixing various types of workloads in a single cluster, and help reach
higher levels of resource utilization and availability.

[SIG Storage](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/tree/master/sig-storage) is responsible for storage and volume plugin components.

In-tree cloud provider bug fixes and improvements included:
- Adding initial Zones support to the provider using vSphere Tags
- Improving the testing harness for the cloud provider by introducing vcsim for automated testing
- Fixing a bug that was preventing updates from 1.10 to 1.11

- Kubernetes is now built with Go 1.20.11 ([#121811](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121811), [@cpanato](https://github.com/cpanato)) [SIG Release and Testing]
