- Kubeadm: remove the "ephemeral_storage" request from the etcd static pod that kubeadm deploys on stacked etcd control plane nodes. This request has caused sporadic failures on some setups due to a problem in the kubelet with cadvisor and the LocalStorageCapacityIsolation feature gate. See this issue for more details: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/99305 ([#102673](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/102673), [@jackfranci...

- Terminated Pods on a node will not be re-admitted on kubelet restart. This fixes the problem of Completed Pods awaiting for the finalizer marked as Failed after the kubelet restart.

### Bug or Regression

- Bump node-problem-detector version to v0.8.5 to fix OOM detection in with Linux kernels 5.1+ ([#96716](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96716), [@tosi3k](https://github.com/tosi3k)) [SIG Cloud Provider, Scalability and Testing]

- Fixed the bug when swap related metrics were not available in `/metrics/resource` endpoint. ([#132065](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/132065), [@yuanwang04](https://github.com/yuanwang04)) [SIG Node and Testing]

- Implemented logging and event recording for probe results with an `Unknown` status in the kubelet's prober module. This helped improve the diagnosis and monitoring of cases where container probes returned an `Unknown` result, enhancing the observability and reliability of health checks.

    * This can solve nuanced errors when using middlewares. Before Starlette `0.24.0`, a new instance of each middleware class would be created when a new middleware was added. That normally was not a problem, unless the middleware class expected to be created only once, with only one instance, that happened in some cases. This upgrade would solve those cases (thanks [@adriangb](https://github.com/adriangb)! Starlette PR [#2017](https://github.com/enc...
