  * Tensorflow will continue to support NumPy 1.26 until 2025, aligning with community standard deprecation timeline [here](https://scientific-python.org/specs/spec-0000/).

* Hermetic CUDA support is added.

* Changes secret, configMap, downwardAPI and projected volumes to mount read-only, instead of allowing applications to write data and then reverting it automatically. Until version 1.11, setting the feature gate ReadOnlyAPIDataVolumes=false will preserve the old behavior. ([#58720](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58720), [@joelsmith](https://github.com/joelsmith))

- Finalizer Protection for Service LoadBalancers is now in GA (enabled by default). This feature ensures the Service resource is not fully deleted until the correlating load balancer resources are deleted. ([#85023](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/85023), [@MrHohn](https://github.com/MrHohn))
