* Fix clustered datastore name to be absolute. ([#54438](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54438), [@pshahzeb](https://github.com/pshahzeb))
* Fix `kubeadm upgrade plan` for offline operation: ignore errors when trying to fetch latest versions from dl.k8s.io ([#54016](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54016), [@praseodym](https://github.com/praseodym))

- List operations against the API now return internal server errors instead of partially complete lists when a value cannot be transformed from storage. The updated behavior is consistent with all other operations that require transforming data from storage such as watch and get.

### CSI Volume Snapshot graduates to General Availability

CSI Volume Snapshot moves to GA in the 1.20 release. This feature provides a standard way to trigger volume snapshot operations in Kubernetes and allows Kubernetes users to incorporate snapshot operations in a portable manner on any Kubernetes environment regardless of supporting underlying storage providers.

### Support for cgroups v2 Graduates to Stable

resource-intensive in ‘iptables’ mode.
  * Node stability can be improved by reserving [resources](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/release-1.2/docs/proposals/node-allocatable.md) for the base operating system using --system-reserved and --kube-reserved Kubelet flags
  * Liveness and readiness probes now support more configuration parameters:
periodSeconds, successThreshold, failureThreshold

- For volumes that allow attaches across multiple nodes, attach and detach operations across different nodes are now executed in parallel. ([#89240](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/89240), [@verult](https://github.com/verult)) [SIG Apps, Node and Storage]

containers are only an alpha feature. To allow using CSI storage on Windows nodes, [CSIProxy](https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/csi-proxy) enables CSI node plugins to be deployed as unprivileged pods, using the proxy to perform privileged storage operations on the node.

Another feature moving to GA in v1.22 is CSI Service Account Token support. This feature allows CSI drivers to use pods' [bound service account tokens](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/service-ac...

### Storage capacity tracking

- For raw block CSI volumes on Kubernetes, kubelet was incorrectly calling CSI NodeStageVolume for every single "map" (i.e. raw block "mount") operation for a volume already attached to the node. This PR ensures it is only called once per volume per node.

* AWS: Remove duplicate calls to DescribeInstance during volume operations ([#39842](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/39842), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied))
