- Added the latest GCE pinhole firewall feature, which introduces `destination-ranges` in the ingress `firewall-rules`. It restricts access to the backend IPs by allowing traffic through `ILB` or `NetLB` only. This change does **NOT** change the existing `ILB` or `NetLB` behavior. ([#109510](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/109510),...

  * This is something to pay close attention to if you’ve been using Kubernetes for a while, because it changes the default behavior of PersistentVolumeClaim objects on these clouds.
  * Marking a StorageClass as default makes it so that even a PersistentVolumeClaim without a StorageClass specified will trigger dynamic provisioning (instead of binding to an existing pool of PVs).

  node drain helper callback. ([#117502](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117502), [@adilGhaffarDev](https://github.com/adilGhaffarDev))

- Added support for installing `arm64` node artifacts. ([#99242](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99242), [@liu-cong](https://github.com/liu-cong))

  `delete`, `describe`, `edit`, `get`, `label,` and `set`. `--include-uninitialized=true` makes
  kubectl commands apply to uninitialized objects, which by default are ignored
  if the names of the objects are not provided. `--all` also makes kubectl
  commands apply to uninitialized objects. See the

* Default behavior in Cinder storageclass is changed. If availability is not specified, the zone is chosen by algorithm. It makes possible to spread stateful pods across many zones. ([#44798](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/44798), [@zetaab](https://github.com/zetaab))

* Fix a potential bug that scheduler preempts unnecessary pods. ([#70898](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/70898), [@Huang-Wei](https://github.com/Huang-Wei))
* The kube-apiserver's healthz now takes in an optional query parameter which allows you to disable health checks from causing healthz failures.  ([#70676](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/70676), [@logicalhan](https://github.com/logicalhan))

- HPA controller exposes the following metrics from the kube-controller-manager. 
  - `metric_computation_duration_seconds`: The time(seconds) that the HPA controller takes to calculate one metric.

In each case the value of the literal is the value represented by
the digits in the corresponding base.

<p>
Although these representations all result in an integer, they have
different valid ranges.  Octal escapes must represent a value between
0 and 255 inclusive.  Hexadecimal escapes satisfy this condition
by construction. The escapes <code>\u</code> and <code>\U</code>
