- Kubectl [get and describe](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/515) now works with extensions
- Nodes now support [third party monitoring plugins](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/606).
- A new [Scheduling Framework](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/624) for schedule plugins is now Alpha.

* The Kubelet now explicitly registers all of its command-line flags with an internal flagset, which prevents flags from third party libraries from unintentionally leaking into the Kubelet's command-line API. Many unintentionally leaked flags are now marked deprecated, so that users have a chance to migrate away from them before they are removed. In addition, one previously...

- Increased APF max seats to 100 for LIST requests. ([#133034](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/133034), [@serathius](https://github.com/serathius))
- Introduced a method `GetPCIeRootAttributeByPCIBusID(pciBusID)` for third-party DRA drivers to provide common logic for the standardized device attribute `resource.kubernetes.io/pcieRoot`.

* Fixed a bug in the single-numa-node policy of the TopologyManager.  Previously, pods that only requested CPU resources and did not request any third-party devices would fail to launch with a TopologyAffinity error. Now they will launch successfully.

The focus of this release is **compatibility** with Pydantic v1 and v2, to make sure your current apps keep working. Later there will be more focus on refactors, correctness, code improvements, and then **performance** improvements. Some third-party early beta testers that ran benchmarks on the beta releases of FastAPI reported improvements of **2x - 3x**. Which is not bad for just doing `pip install --upgrade fastapi pydantic`. This was not an official benchmark and I didn't check it myself,...

With CSI the Kubernetes volume layer becomes truly extensible, allowing third party storage developers to write drivers making their storage systems available in Kubernetes without having to touch the core code.

CSI was first introduction as alpha in Kubernetes v1.9 and moved to beta in Kubernetes v1.10.

more flexible alternative to `EmptyDir` volumes: as with `EmptyDir`, volumes are created and deleted for each pod automatically by Kubernetes. But because the normal provisioning process is used (`PersistentVolumeClaim`), storage can be provided by third-party storage vendors and all of the usual volume features work. Volumes don't need to be empt; for example, restoring from snapshot is supported. ([#92784](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/92784), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly)) [SIG...
