If a container runtime does not support the `v1` API, Kubernetes will fall back to the `v1alpha2` implementation.
There is no intermediate action required by end-users, because `v1` and `v1alpha2` do not differ in their implementation.
It is likely that `v1alpha2` will be removed in one of the future Kubernetes releases to be able to develop `v1`.

### Structured logging graduate to Beta

- QueueingHint implementation for NodeAffinity is reverted because we found potential scenarios where events that make Pods schedulable could be missed. ([#122327](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122327), [@sanposhiho](https://github.com/sanposhiho)) [SIG Scheduling]

### **Node Components**
#### Container Runtime Interface

- Added swap to stats to Summary API and Prometheus endpoints (stats/summary and /metrics/resource). ([#118865](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118865), [@iholder101](https://github.com/iholder101))
- Added the implementation for `PodRecreationPolicy` to wait for the creation of pods once the existing ones are fully terminated. ([#117015](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117015), [@kannon92](https://github.com/kannon92))

### Failing Test

- Kubelet: the HostPort implementation in dockershim was not taking into consideration the HostIP field, causing that the same HostPort can not be used with different IP addresses.

  - `service.kubernetes.io/topology-aware-hints` annotation has been deprecated.
  - kube-proxy now accepts any value that is not "disabled" for these annotations, enabling custom implementation-specific and/or future built-in heuristics to be used. ([#116522](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116522), [@robscott](https://github.com/robscott)) [SIG Apps, Network and Testing]

* Replace Parallelize with function ParallelizeUntil and formally deprecate the Parallelize. ([#68403](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/68403), [@wgliang](https://github.com/wgliang))
* Move scheduler cache interface and implementation to pkg/scheduler/internal/cache. ([#68968](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/68968), [@wgliang](https://github.com/wgliang))

## Changes by Kind

### Deprecation

- Deprecated `Service.Spec.LoadBalancerIP`. This field was under-specified and its meaning varies across implementations.  As of Kubernetes v1.24, users are encouraged to use implementation-specific annotations when available.  This field may be removed in a future API version. ([#107235](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/107235), [@uablrek](https://github.com/uablrek))

- Kubernetes now includes an alpha field, `AllowWatchBookmarks`, in ListOptions for requesting the watching of bookmarks from apiserver. The implementation in apiserver is hidden behind the feature gate `WatchBookmark`. ([#74074](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/74074), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t))
