- Added a `--topology-manager-policy-options` flag to the kubelet to support fine tuning the topology manager policies. The first policy option, `prefer-closest-numa-nodes`, allows these policies to favor sets of NUMA nodes with shorter distance between nodes when making admission decisions.

  | o need to clean up all the descriptions, matching anything to the current project-descriptor.xml file and
  |   improving on that
  |
  | o use enums where appropriate (eg dependency scope)
  |
  | o a number of elements have a groupId/artifactId and sometimes version. It would be good to have them all extend one
  |   definition of these types

- Omit enum declarations from the static openapi file captured at https://git.k8s.io/kubernetes/api/openapi-spec. This file is used to generate API clients, and use of enums in those generated clients (rather than strings) can break forward compatibility with additional future values in those fields. See https://issue.k8s.io/109177 for details. ([#109178](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/109178), [@liggit...

* Fixed a bug in the single-numa-policy of the TopologyManager. Previously, best-effort pods would result in a terminated state with a TopologyAffinity error. Now they will run as expected. ([#83777](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83777), [@lmdaly](https://github.com/lmdaly))...

- Added metrics to capture CPU distribution across NUMA nodes ([#130491](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130491), [@swatisehgal](https://github.com/swatisehgal)) [SIG Node and Testing]

- CEL cost estimator no longer treats enums as unbounded strings when determining its length. Instead, the length is set to the longest possible enum value. ([#121085](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121085), [@jiahuif](https://github.com/jiahuif)) [SIG API Machinery]

- Fixed bug that caused cAdvisor to incorrectly detect single-socket multi-NUMA topology. ([#99209](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99209), [@iwankgb](https://github.com/iwankgb)) [SIG Node]
