- DRA: the resource claim controller now maintains metrics about the total number of ResourceClaims and the number of allocated ResourceClaims. ([#127661](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127661), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly)) [SIG Apps, Instrumentation and Node]

* The LocalStorageCapacityIsolation feature is beta and enabled by default.  The LocalStorageCapacityIsolation feature added a new resource type ResourceEphemeralStorage "ephemeral-storage" so that this resource can be allocated, limited, and consumed as the same way as CPU/memory. All the features related to resource management (resource request/limit, quota, limitrange) are available for local ephemeral storage. This local ephemeral storage represents the storage for root...

- Enabled use of pods with volumes and user namespaces. The feature gate...

          // there's a way around creating the separate sortedKeys array, and if we're allocating
          // one array of size n, we might as well allocate two -- to say nothing of the allocation
          // done in Arrays.sort.
          for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
            // We're careful to put only K instances in.

* [alpha] Applications may now request pre-allocated hugepages by using the new `hugepages` resource in the container resource requests. ([#275](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/275), [@derekwaynecarr](https://github.com/derekwaynecarr))

- New feature gate, ServiceIPStaticSubrange, to enable the new strategy in the Service IP allocators, so the IP range is subdivided and dynamic allocated ClusterIP addresses for Services are allocated preferently from the upper range.

- During device plugin allocation, resources requested by the pod can only be allocated if the device plugin has registered itself to kubelet AND healthy devices are present on the node to be allocated. If these conditions are not sattsfied, the pod would fail with `UnexpectedAdmissionError` error. ([#117738](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117738), [@swatisehgal](https://g...
