- Azure: update disk lock logic per vm during attach/detach to allow concurrent updates for different nodes. ([#85115](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/85115), [@aramase](https://github.com/aramase))
- Fix vmss dirty cache issue in disk attach/detach on vmss node ([#85158](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/85158), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))

- The logic for attaching volumes has been changed so that attachdetach controller attaches volumes immediately when a Pod's PVCs are bound, preventing a problem that caused pods to have extremely long startup times. ([#66863](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/66863), [@cofyc](https://github.com/cofyc))

* Fix scheduler informers to receive events for all the pods in the cluster. ([#63003](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/63003), [@bsalamat](https://github.com/bsalamat))
* attachdetach controller attaches volumes immediately when Pod's PVCs are bound ([#66863](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/66863), [@cofyc](https://github.com/cofyc))

- For volumes that allow attaches across multiple nodes, attach and detach operations across different nodes are now executed in parallel. ([#89241](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/89241), [@verult](https://github.com/verult)) [SIG Apps, Node and Storage]

* Fix initial exec terminal dimensions. ([#51126](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51126), [@chen-anders](https://github.com/chen-anders))
* vSphere: Fix attach volume failing on the first try. ([#51218](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51218), [@BaluDontu](https://github.com/BaluDontu))

- Kube-apiserver: Fixes handling of CRD schemas containing literal null values in enums (#104990, @liggitt) [SIG API Machinery, Apps and Network]

### Bug or Regression

- Detach volumes from vSphere nodes not tracked by attach-detach controller (#104910, @gnufied) [SIG Cloud Provider and Storage]
- Fix: consolidate logs for instance not found error (#105364, @nilo19) [SIG Cloud Provider]

- `kubectl exec` and `kubectl attach` now honor the `--quiet` flag which suppresses output from the local binary that could be confused by a script with the remote command output (all non-failure output is hidden). In addition, print inline with exec and attach the list of alternate containers when we default to the first spec.container. ([#99004](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99004),...
