- Kubelet no longer reports terminated container metrics from cAdvisor ([#112964](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112964), [@bobbypage](https://github.com/bobbypage)) [SIG Node]

- Fixed a bug that an init container with containerRestartPolicy with `Always` cannot update its state from terminated to non-terminated for the pod with restartPolicy with `Never` or `OnFailure`. ([#123710](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123710), [@gjkim42](https://github.com/gjkim42)) [SIG Apps]

- Kubelet terminates pods correctly upon restart, fixing an issue where pods may have not been fully terminated if the kubelet was restarted during pod termination. ([#117433](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117433), [@bobbypage](https://github.com/bobbypage)) [SIG Node and Testing]

- kubeadm: ensure that Pods from the upgrade preflight check `CreateJob` are properly terminated after a timeout. ([#127333](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127333), [@yuyabee](https://github.com/yuyabee)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

* Fix so setup-files don't recreate/invalidate certificates that already exist ([#23550](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/23550), [@luxas](https://github.com/luxas))
* A pod never terminated if a container image registry was unavailable ([#23746](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/23746), [@derekwaynecarr](https://github.com/derekwaynecarr))

- Fixed a bug in the single-numa-policy of the TopologyManager. Previously, best-effort pods would result in a terminated state with a TopologyAffinity error. Now they will run as expected. ([#83777](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83777), [@lmdaly](https://github.com/lmdaly))

  
  However, the Job controller creates a replacement Pod as soon as the termination becomes apparent.
  Once the pod terminates, the Job controller evaluates `.backoffLimit` and `.podFailurePolicy` for the
  relevant Job, taking this now-terminated Pod into consideration.
  
  This behavior is limited to Jobs with `.spec.podFailurePolicy` set, and only when those two feature
  gates are both enabled.

* Add total inodes to kubelet summary api ([#30231](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/30231), [@derekwaynecarr](https://github.com/derekwaynecarr))
* Updates required for juju kubernetes to use the tls-terminated etcd charm. ([#30104](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/30104), [@mbruzek](https://github.com/mbruzek))

- If a pod has a running instance, the stats of its previously terminated instances will not show up in the kubelet summary stats any more for CRI runtimes such as containerd and cri-o. This keeps the behavior consistent with Docker integration, and fixes an issue that some container Prometheus metrics don't work when...
