This release adds a feature to hash the `KeyID` values in the logs. The `KeyID` values are sensitive information that should not be exposed in plain text in the logs. By hashing the `KeyID` values, we can protect the confidentiality of the data while still being able to log the necessary information.

- Number of errors reported to the metric `storage_operation_duration_seconds_count` for emptyDir decreased significantly because previously one error was reported for each projected volume created.

causes a <a href="#Run_time_panics">run-time panic</a>.
</p>

<p>
The <code>protect</code> function in the example below invokes
the function argument <code>g</code> and protects callers from
run-time panics raised by <code>g</code>.
</p>

<pre>
func protect(g func()) {
	defer func() {
		log.Println("done")  // Println executes normally even if there is a panic

- Introducing Memory quality of service support with `cgroups v2 (Alpha)`. The `MemoryQoS` feature is now in Alpha. This allows `kubelet` running with `cgroups v2` to set memory QoS at container, pod and QoS level to protect and guarantee better memory quality. This feature can be enabled through feature gate Memory QoS. ([#102970](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/102970), [@borgerli](https://github.com/borgerli))
