   ([#123516](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123516), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))
- Fixed accidental enablement of the new alpha `optionalOldSelf` API field in `CustomResourceDefinition` validation rules, which should only have been allowed to be set when the `CRDValidationRatcheting` feature gate is enabled.

For the 1.8 release, SIG API Machinery focused on stability and on ecosystem enablement. Features include the ability to break large LIST calls into smaller chunks, improved support for API server customization with either custom API servers or Custom Resource Definitions, and client side event spam filtering.

## Changes by Kind

### API Change

* kube-apiserver: `--runtime-config` can once again be used to enable/disable serving specific resources in the `extensions/v1beta1` API group. Note that specific resource enablement/disablement is only allowed for the `extensions/v1beta1` API group for legacy reasons. Attempts to enable/disable individual resources in other API groups will print a warning, and will return an error in future releases. ([#72249](https://gith...

* `kubefed init` correctly checks for RBAC API enablement. ([#48077](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/48077), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

- Fixes a kube-apiserver log volume regression bug in default 1.27 configurations (introduced in 1.26, activated by the AggregatedDiscoveryEndpoint feature enablement in 1.27) ([#122074](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122074), [@ritazh](https://github.com/ritazh)) [SIG API Machinery]

### Node

SIG Node iterated on the ability to support more workloads with better performance and improved reliability.  Alpha features were improved around hardware accelerator support, device plugins enablement, and cpu pinning policies to enable us to graduate these features to beta in a future release.  In addition, a number of reliability and performance enhancements were made across the node to help operators in production.
