- Renamed Label cluster to `storage_cluster_id` for `apiserver_storage_size_bytes metric` ([#124283](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124283), [dims](https://github.com/dims))
- Bumped the stability level of apiserver_storage_size_bytes to `STABLE` ([#123342](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123342), [@logicalhan](https://github.com/logicalhan))

Also, please note:
- using `application/vnd.kubernetes.protobuf` as the media storage type for 1.6 is default but not required
- the ability to rollback to etcd2 can be preserved by setting the storage media type flag on `kube-apiserver`

  ```
  --storage-media-type application/json
  ```

  to continue to use `application/json` as the storage media type which can be changed to

### Continued improvement of CSI

- Fix: corrupted mount point in csi driver ([#88569](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88569), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx)) [SIG Storage]
- Fix: get azure disk lun timeout issue ([#88158](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88158), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx)) [SIG Cloud Provider and Storage]

#### Volume Plugins
* [stable] Volume plugin for StorageOS provides highly-available cluster-wide persistent volumes from local or attached node storage. See [Persistent Volumes - StorageOS](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/persistent-volumes/#storageos) and [Storage Volumes - StorageOS](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/volumes/#storageos).

- GlusterFS in-tree storage driver which was deprecated at kubernetes 1.25 release has been removed entirely in 1.26. ([#112015](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112015), [@humblec](https://github.com/humblec)) [SIG API Machinery, Cloud Provider, Instrumentation, Node, Scalability, Storage and Testing]

- Kube-apiserver: fixes a 1.27+ regression in watch stability by serving watch requests without a resourceVersion from the watch cache by default, as in <1.27 (disabling the change in #115096 by default). This mitigates the impact of an etcd watch bug (https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/pull/17555). If the 1.27 change in #115096 to serve these requests from underlying storage is still desired despite the impact on watch stability,...

Durable Local Storage Management is Now GA ([#121](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/121#issuecomment-457396290))

- Makes locally attached (non-network attached) storage available as a persistent volume source.
- Allows users to take advantage of the typically cheaper and improved performance of persistent local storage
