* The Local Volume Plugin has been updated to support Block volumeMode PVs. With this change, it is now possible to create local volume PVs for raw block devices. ([#59303](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/59303), [@dhirajh](https://github.com/dhirajh))

  * 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).
  * If you depend on the old behavior of volumes binding to existing pool of PersistentVolume objects then modify the StorageClass object and set `storageclass.beta.kubernetes.io/is-default-class` to `false`.

* Add iptables rules to allow Pod traffic even when default iptables policy is to reject. ([#52569](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52569), [@tmjd](https://github.com/tmjd))
* Validate positive capacity for PVs and PVCs. ([#55532](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55532), [@ianchakeres](https://github.com/ianchakeres))

- For statically provisioned PVs, if its volume source is CSI type or it has migrated annotation, when it's deleted, the PersisentVolume controller won't changes its phase to the Failed state. 
  

- Existing InTree AzureFile PVs which don't have a secret namespace defined will now work properly after enabling CSI migration - the namespace will be obtained from ClaimRef. ([#108000](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/108000), [@RomanBednar](https://github.com/RomanBednar))...
