* [event-exporter addon] Bump event-exporter to 0.2.3 to pick up security fixes.
* PVC may not be synced to controller local cache in time if PV is bound by external PV binder (e.g. kube-scheduler), double check if PVC is not found to prevent reclaiming PV wrongly. ([#67062](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/67062), [@cofyc](https://github.com/cofyc))

## Changes since v1.2.3

  With this patch, the external provisioner can remove the finalizer in next reconcile loop. Unfortunately if the provious existing pv has the Failed state, this patch won't take effort. It requires users to remove finalizer. ([#126043](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126043), [@carlory](https://github.com/carlory)) [SIG Apps and Storage]

- Added a test to guarantee that conformance clusters require at least 2 untainted nodes. ([#106313](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/106313), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea))
- Adds PV deletion protection finalizer only when PV reclaimPolicy is Delete for dynamically provisioned volumes. ([#109205](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/109205), [@deepakkinni](https://github.com/deepakkinni))

  * The available capacity of a given Persistent Volume (PV) is available by calling the Kubernetes metrics API.

* [stable] Volume plugin metrics

  * Success and latency metrics for all Kubernetes calls are available by calling the Kubernetes metrics API. You can request volume operations, including mount, unmount, attach, detach, provision, and delete.

* PVC may not be synced to controller local cache in time if PV is bound by external PV binder (e.g. kube-scheduler), double check if PVC is not found to prevent reclaiming PV wrongly. ([#67062](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/67062), [@cofyc](https://github.com/cofyc))

- Improve speed of vSphere PV provisioning and reduce number of API calls ([#102351](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/102351), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied)) [SIG Cloud Provider and Storage]
