- Metric names for CSI and flexvolume drivers will include the driver name as well as the CSI plugin name. ([#96474](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96474), [@mattcary](https://github.com/mattcary)) [SIG Instrumentation and Storage]

* ACTION REQUIRED: Removes defaulting of CSI file system type to ext4. All the production drivers listed under https://kubernetes-csi.github.io/docs/drivers.html were inspected and should not be impacted after this change. If you are using a driver not in that list, please test the drivers on an updated test cluster first. ([#65499](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/65499), [@krunaljain](https://github.com/krunaljain))

### Bug or Regression

- Aggregate errors when putting vmss
  fix: consolidate logs for instance not found error (#105365, @nilo19) [SIG Cloud Provider]
- Allow CSI drivers to just run offline expansion tests (#102740, @gnufied) [SIG Storage and Testing]

- `CSINodeExpandSecret` feature has been promoted to `GA` in this release and is enabled
  by default. The CSI drivers can make use of the `secretRef` values passed in `NodeExpansion`

* Bug fixes

  * Fixes issue with Flexvolume, introduced in 1.6.0, where drivers without an attacher would fail (node indefinitely waiting for attach). A driver API addition is introduced: drivers that don't implement attach should return attach: false on init. ([#47503](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/47503), [@chakri-nelluri](https://github.com/chakri-nelluri))

### CSI Proxy for Windows

The CSI Proxy for Windows is being promoted to beta along with the 1.19 release. This CSI Proxy enables CSI Drivers to run on Windows by allowing containers in Windows to perform privileged storage operations. At beta, the CSI Proxy for Windows supports storage drivers using direct attached disks and SMB.

### Dashboard v2

#### **Other**

*   Pod Security Policy can now manage access to specific FlexVolume drivers ([#53179](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53179),[ @wanghaoran1988](https://github.com/wanghaoran1988))
