### Contextual Logging in Alpha

Kubernetes 1.24 has introduced [contextual logging](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/3077)
that enables the caller of a function to control all aspects of logging (output formatting, verbosity, additional values and names).

### Avoiding Collisions in IP allocation to Services

### SIG Openstack

### API Priority and Fairness graduates to Beta

Initially introduced in 1.18, Kubernetes 1.20 now enables API Priority and Fairness (APF) by default. This allows `kube-apiserver` to [categorize incoming requests by priority levels](https://docs.k8s.io/concepts/cluster-administration/flow-control/).

### IPv4/IPv6 run

- [alpha: kubectl apply --prune --applyset] Enables certain custom resources (CRs) to be used as ApplySet parent objects. To enable this for a given CR, apply the label `applyset.k8s.io/is-parent-type: true` to the CustomResourceDefinition (CRD) that defines it . ([#116353](https://github.com/kube...

- Graduates the `WatchList` feature gate to Beta for kube-apiserver and enables `WatchListClient` for KCM. ([#128053](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/128053), [@p0lyn0mial](https://github.com/p0lyn0mial)) [SIG API Machinery and Testing]

### CSI Volume health monitoring
 

- Enables ratcheting validation on status subresources for CustomResourceDefinitions ([#129506](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/129506), [@JoelSpeed](https://github.com/JoelSpeed)) [SIG API Machinery]

- Alpha support for field selectors on custom resources has been added. With the `CustomResourceFieldSelectors` feature gate enabled, the CustomResourceDefinition API now allows specifying `selectableFields`. Listing a field there enables filtering custom resources for that CustomResourceDefinition in list or watch requests. ([#122717](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122717), [@jpbetz](https://github.com/jpbetz))

b.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/361) makes it possible to set requests and limits on ephemeral local storage resources. In addition, you can now create [Local Persistent Storage](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/121), which enables PersistentVolumes to be created with locally attached disks, and not just network volumes.

On the Persistent Volumes side, this release [Prevents deletion of Persistent Volume Claims that are used by a pod](https://github.com/kuberne...
