The predeclared type <code>error</code> is defined as

<pre>
type error interface {
	Error() string
}
</pre>

<p>
It is the conventional interface for representing an error condition,
with the nil value representing no error.
For instance, a function to read data from a file might be defined:

- Fixes conversion error for HorizontalPodAutoscaler objects with invalid annotations ([#89968](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/89968), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG Autoscaling]

(`node_config_active`) config sources, and a metric indicating whether the node is experiencing a config-related error (`node_config_error`). The config source metrics always report the value `1`, and carry the `node_config_name`, `node_config_uid`, `node_config_resource_version`, and `node_config_kubelet_key labels`, which identify the config version. The error metric reports `1` if there is an error, `0` otherwise. ([#57527](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/57527), [@mtaufen](https://github.com/mtaufen))...

* Correctly handle transient connection reset errors on GET requests from client library. ([#58520](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58520), [@porridge](https://github.com/porridge))

- CEL authorizer checks no longer raise runtime errors. Calls to "check" will always return a decision object and the authorization error (if any) can be accessed within expressions using the new decision methods "errored" and "error". ([#118804](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118804), [@benluddy](https://github.com/benluddy)) [SIG API Machinery]

* New kubeadm flag `--ignore-preflight-errors` that enables to decrease severity of each individual error to warning. ([#56072](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/56072), [@kad](https://github.com/kad))
    * Old flag `--skip-preflight-checks` is marked as deprecated and acts as `--ignore-preflight-errors=all`

- github.com/docker/docker: [v20.10.18+incompatible → v20.10.21+incompatible](https://github.com/docker/docker/compare/v20.10.18...v20.10.21)
- github.com/go-errors/errors: [v1.0.1 → v1.4.2](https://github.com/go-errors/errors/compare/v1.0.1...v1.4.2)

    * try to only update vm if detach a non-existing disk when got <200, error> after detach disk operation
* fix pod stuck issue due to corrupt mnt point in flexvol plugin, call Unmount if PathExists returns any error ([#75234](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/75234), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))

  - `node_cpu_usage_seconds_total`
  - `node_memory_working_set_bytes`
  - `pod_cpu_usage_seconds_total`
  - `pod_memory_working_set_bytes`
  - `resource_scrape_error`
  
  Deprecated (renamed) `scrape_error` in favor of `resource_scrape_error` ([#116897](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116897), [@Richabanker](https://github.com/Richabanker)) [SIG Architecture, Instrumentation, Node and Testing]

### Bug or Regression

- Apiserver: use the correct error when logging errors updating managedFields ([#113711](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113711), [@andrewsykim](https://github.com/andrewsykim)) [SIG API Machinery]
- Bump runc to v1.1.4 ([#113719](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113719), [@pacoxu](https://github.com/pacoxu)) [SIG Node]
