([#123281](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123281), [@seans3](https://github.com/seans3))
- Revised node selection based on container image location. The kube-scheduler now considers whether nodes have the required images available for init containers, and for sidecar containers if the cluster has 'SidecarContainers' enabled. ([#123366](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123366), [@kerthcet](https://github.com/kerthcet))

- Introduced NodeIPAM support for multiple ClusterCIDRs ([#2593](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/2593)) as an alpha feature.
  Set feature gate `MultiCIDRRangeAllocator=true`, determines whether the `MultiCIDRRangeAllocator` controller can be used, while the kube-controller-manager flag below will pick the active controller.

#### Storage

- When PodInfoOnMount is enabled for a CSI driver, the new csi.storage.k8s.io/ephemeral parameter in the volume context allows a driver's NodePublishVolume implementation to determine on a case-by-case basis whether the volume is ephemeral or a normal persistent volume ([#79983](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/79983), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))

- New "field_validation_request_duration_seconds" metric, measures how long requests take, indicating the value of the fieldValidation query parameter and whether or not server-side field validation is enabled on the apiserver ([#109120](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/109120), [@kevindelgado](https://github.com/kevindelgado))

### API Change

- When `SchedulerQueueingHint` is enabled,
  the scheduler's in-tree plugins now subscribe to specific node events to decide whether to requeue Pods.
  This allows the scheduler to handle cluster events faster with less memory.

  Specific node events include updates to taints, tolerations or allocatable.

- `wait.PollUntilContextTimeout` function, if immediate is true, the condition
  will be invoked before waiting and guarantees that the condition is invoked at
  least once, regardless of whether the context has been cancelled. ([#118686](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118686), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea))
