* Restored the pre-1.10 behavior of the openstack cloud provider, which uses the instance name as the Kubernetes Node name. This requires instances be named with RFC-1123 compatible names. ([#63903](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/63903), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

* Modified influxdb petset to provision persistent  volume. ([#28840](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/28840), [@jszczepkowski](https://github.com/jszczepkowski))
* Allow service names up to 63 characters (RFC 1035) ([#29523](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/29523), [@fraenkel](https://github.com/fraenkel))

- Allowed setting the `hostnameOverride` field in `PodSpec` to specify any RFC 1123 DNS subdomain as the pod's hostname. The `HostnameOverride` feature gate was introduced to control enablement of this functionality. ([#132558](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/132558), [@HirazawaUi](https://github.com/HirazawaUi))...

- Added warnings to the Services API. Kubernetes now warns for Services in the case of:
  - IPv4 addresses with leading zeros
  - IPv6 address in non-canonical format (RFC 5952) ([#114505](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114505), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea))

- Kubeadm: external etcd endpoints passed in the `ClusterConfiguration` that have Unicode characters are no longer IDNA encoded (converted to Punycode). They are now just URL encoded as per Go's implementation of RFC-3986, have duplicate "/" removed from the URL paths, and passed like that directly to the `kube-apiserver` `--etcd-servers` flag. If you have etcd endpoints that have Unicode characters, it is advisable to encode them in advance with tooling that is...

- Modify DNS-1123 error messages to indicate that RFC 1123 is not followed exactly ([#94182](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/94182), [@mattfenwick](https://github.com/mattfenwick)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth, Network and Node]

### Bug Fixes and Other Changes

*   `tf.SavedModel`:
    * Introduced new class `tf.saved_model.experimental.Fingerprint` that contains the fingerprint of the SavedModel. See the [SavedModel Fingerprinting RFC](https://github.com/tensorflow/community/pull/415) for details.
    * Introduced API `tf.saved_model.experimental.read_fingerprint(export_dir)` for reading the fingerprint of a SavedModel.
* `tf.random`
