([#81210](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/81210), [@figo](https://github.com/figo))
- kubelet now exports an `kubelet_evictions` metric that counts the number of pod evictions carried out by the kubelet to reclaim resources ([#81377](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/81377), [@sjenning](https://github.com/sjenning))

### Removed metrics

* The OpenID Connect authenticator can now use a custom prefix, or omit the default prefix, for username and groups claims through the --oidc-username-prefix and --oidc-groups-prefix flags. For example, the authenticator can map a user with the username "jane" to "google:jane" by supplying the "google:" username prefix. ([#50875](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/50875),...

    * $ kubectl get pv --show-labels
    * NAME           CAPACITY   ACCESSMODES   STATUS    CLAIM            REASON    AGE       LABELS
    * pv-abc                5Gi        RWO                   Bound     default/claim1                    46s       failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/region=VC1,failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/zone=cluster-1

    server.enqueue(builder.build())
    server.enqueue(builder.build())
    val inputStream = getResponse(newRequest("/")).body.byteStream()
    assertThat(inputStream.markSupported(), "This implementation claims to support mark().")
      .isFalse()
    inputStream.mark(5)
    assertThat(readAscii(inputStream, 5)).isEqualTo("ABCDE")
    assertFailsWith<IOException> {
      inputStream.reset()
    }

- Raw block volume support is promoted to beta, and enabled by default. This is accessible via the `volumeDevices` container field in pod specs, and the `volumeMode` field in persistent volume and persistent volume claims definitions.

## Changelog since v1.7.0-alpha.4

### Action Required

* kube-apiserver: a new authorization mode (`--authorization-mode=Node`) authorizes nodes to access secrets, configmaps, persistent volume claims and persistent volumes related to their pods. ([#46076](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/46076), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

- Reverted a kubectl azure auth module change where oidc claim spn: prefix was omitted resulting a breaking behavior with existing Azure AD OIDC enabled api-server ([#87507](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/87507), [@weinong](https://github.com/weinong)) [SIG API Machinery, Auth and Cloud Provider]...

* Add missing argument to log message in federated ingress controller. ([#34158](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/34158), [@quinton-hoole](https://github.com/quinton-hoole))
* The kubelet --eviction-minimum-reclaim option can now take percentages as well as absolute values for resources quantities ([#33392](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/33392), [@sjenning](https://github.com/sjenning))
