## Changelog since v1.5.1

### Other notable changes

* Fixes NotAuthenticated errors that appear in the kubelet and kube-controller-manager due to never logging in to vSphere ([#36169](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/36169), [@robdaemon](https://github.com/robdaemon))

- External facing API podresources is now available under k8s.io/kubelet/pkg/apis/ ([#92632](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/92632), [@RenaudWasTaken](https://github.com/RenaudWasTaken)) [SIG Node and Testing]
- Fewer candidates are enumerated for preemption to improve performance in large clusters. ([#94814](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/94814), [@adtac](https://github.com/adtac))

- The pod phase lifecycle guarantees that terminal Pods, those whose states are Unready or Succeeded, can not regress and will have all container stopped. Hence, terminal Pods will never be reachable and should not publish their IP addresses on the Endpoints or EndpointSlices, independently of the Service TolerateUnready option. ([#110260](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/110260), [@robscott](https://github.com/robscott))...

- Fixed a bug where the Kubelet miscalculated the process usage of pods, causing pods to never get evicted for PID usage. ([#124101](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124101), [@haircommander](https://github.com/haircommander)) [SIG Node and Testing]

## Changes by Kind

### Bug or Regression

- Fix race condition in scheduler where a new unschedulable Pod might never be retried. ([#105015](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105015), [@alculquicondor](https://github.com/alculquicondor)) [SIG Apps, Scheduling and Testing]
- Fix: skip case sensitivity when checking Azure NSG rules

- The pod phase lifecycle guarantees that terminal Pods, those whose states are `Unready` or `Succeeded`, can not regress and will have all container stopped. Hence, terminal Pods will never be reachable and should not publish their IP addresses on the `Endpoints` or `EndpointSlices`, independently of the Service `TolerateUnready` option. ([#110255](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/110255), [@robscott](https://github.com/robscott))...

- Fixed a bug that an init container with containerRestartPolicy with `Always` cannot update its state from terminated to non-terminated for the pod with restartPolicy with `Never` or `OnFailure`. ([#123709](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123709), [@gjkim42](https://github.com/gjkim42)) [SIG Apps]

* Fix a bug where kubelet would not retry pod sandbox creation when the restart policy of the pod is Never ([#79451](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/79451), [@yujuhong](https://github.com/yujuhong))
