- [beta] StatefulSets allow workloads that require persistent identity or per-instance storage to be created and managed on Kubernetes. ([docs](http://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/abstractions/controllers/statefulsets/)) ([kubernetes/features#137](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/137))

infinite capacity. Topology constraints addressed the first point, but up to now pod scheduling was still done without considering that the remaining storage capacity may not be enough to start a new pod. [Storage capacity tracking](https://docs.k8s.io/concepts/storage/storage-capacity/) addresses that by adding an API for a CSI driver to report storage capacity and uses that information in the Kubernetes scheduler when choosing a node for a pod. This feature serves as a stepping stone for supporting dynamic...

### API changes and improvements for ephemeral containers

The API used to create [Ephemeral Containers](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/pods/ephemeral-containers/) changed in 1.22. The Ephemeral Containers feature is alpha and disabled by default, and the new API does not work with clients that attempt to use the old API.

- Bug fix: Windows Kubelet nodes will now correctly search the default location for Docker credentials (`%USERPROFILE%\.docker\config.json`) when pulling images from a private registry. (https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/containers/images/#configuring-nodes-to-authenticate-to-a-private-registry) ([#78528](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/78528), [@bclau](https://github.com/bclau))

### Changed

pods to consume either 2Mi or 1Gi Huge Pages.  This benefits applications that consume large amounts of memory.  Use of Huge Pages is a common tuning recommendation for databases and JVMs.  Finally, the [Device Plugin](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/device-plugins/) feature, which provides a framework for vendors to advertise their resources to the Kubelet without changing Kubernetes core code.  Targeted devices include GPUs, High-performance NICs, FPGAs, InfiniBand, and...

- [IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/dual-stack) enables the allocation of both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to Pods and Services.
