- Removed generally available feature gate `CSINodeExpandSecret`. ([#124462](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124462), [@carlory](https://github.com/carlory))
- Removed generally available feature gate `ConsistentHTTPGetHandlers`. ([#124463](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124463), [@carlory](https://github.com/carlory))

   * OpenSSL CVE fixes
* ContainerVm/GCI image: try to use ifdown/ifup if available ([#33595](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/33595), [@freehan](https://github.com/freehan))
* Make the informer library available for the go client library. ([#32718](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/32718), [@mikedanese](https://github.com/mikedanese))

* kube-apiserver: requests to endpoints handled by unavailable extension API servers (as indicated by an `Available` condition of `false` in the registered APIService) now return `503` errors instead of `404` errors. ([#58070](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58070), [@weekface](https://github.com/weekface))

* [alpha] Make locally attached (non-network attached) storage available as a persistent volume source. For more information, see [Storage Volumes - local](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/volumes/#local).

#### Volume Plugins

- Kubeadm: improved retries when updating node information, in case `kube-apiserver` is temporarily unavailable ([#114176](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114176), [@QuantumEnergyE](https://github.com/QuantumEnergyE))

* [stable] Expose storage usage metrics

  * The available capacity of a given Persistent Volume (PV) is available by calling the Kubernetes metrics API.

* [stable] Volume plugin metrics

- Fix bug that would let the Horizontal Pod Autoscaler scale down despite at least one metric being unavailable/invalid ([#99514](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99514), [@mikkeloscar](https://github.com/mikkeloscar)) [SIG Apps and Autoscaling]
