- kubeadm: Always pass spec.nodeName as `--hostname-override` for kube-proxy ([#71283](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/71283), [@Klaven](https://github.com/Klaven))
- `kubeadm join` correctly uses `--node-name` and `--cri-socket` when `--config` option is also used ([#71270](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/71270), [@bart0sh](https://github.com/bart0sh))

### Action Required

* kube-apiserver: a new authorization mode (`--authorization-mode=Node`) authorizes nodes to access secrets, configmaps, persistent volume claims and persistent volumes related to their pods. ([#46076](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/46076), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

    * "volume.alpha.kubernetes.io/storage-class" does not have any special meaning. A default storage class
    * and  DefaultStorageClass admission plugin can be used to preserve similar behavior of Kubernetes cluster,
    * see https://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/persistent-volumes/#class-1 for details.

### Bug or Regression

- Fix a scheduler preemption issue where the victim pod was not deleted due to incorrect status patching. This issue occurred when the preemptor and victim pods had different QoS classes in their status, causing the preemption to fail entirely. ([#126691](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126691), [@Huang-Wei](https://github.com/Huang-Wei)) [SIG Scheduling]

  Alice noticed with some surprise that the pebbles were all
turning into little cakes as they lay on the floor, and a bright
idea came into her head.  `If I eat one of these cakes,' she
thought, `it's sure to make SOME change in my size; and as it
can't possibly make me larger, it must make me smaller, I
suppose.'

  So she swallowed one of the cakes, and was delighted to find
that she began shrinking directly.  As soon as she was small

    *  - vSphere cloud provider (VCP) uses OS hostname and not vSphere Inventory VM Name.
    *    That means, now  VCP can handle cases where user changes VM inventory name.
    * - VCP can handle cases where VM migrates to other ESXi cluster or datacenter or vCenter.
    * The only requirement is the shared storage. VCP needs shared storage on all Node VMs.
