*   Added pod-level local ephemeral storage metric to the Summary API. Pod-level ephemeral storage reports the total filesystem usage for the containers and emptyDir volumes in the measured Pod. ([#55447](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55447),[ @jingxu97](https://github.com/jingxu97))

  * For alpha, volume resizing supports only Gluster volumes.

* [alpha] Provide capacity isolation and resource management for local ephemeral storage

  * You can now set container requests, container limits, and node allocatable reservations for the new `ephemeral-storage` resource.

  * The `ephemeral-storage` resource includes all the disk space a container might consume with container overlay or scratch.

* a CSI driver that supports ephemeral inline volumes must explicitly declare that by providing a CSIDriver object where the new "mode" field is set to "ephemeral" or "persistent+ephemeral" ([#80568](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/80568), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))

A security issue was discovered in Kubernetes where users may be able to launch containers that bypass the mountable secrets policy enforced by the ServiceAccount admission plugin when using containers, init containers, and ephemeral containers with the envFrom field populated.

**Affected Versions**:
  - kube-apiserver v1.29.0 - v1.29.3
  - kube-apiserver v1.28.0 - v1.28.8
  - kube-apiserver <= v1.27.12

**Fixed Versions**:

Troubleshoot distroless containers by adding a new container with debugging tools, either in a new copy of the pod or using an ephemeral container. (Ephemeral containers are an alpha feature that are not enabled by default.)
Troubleshoot on a node by creating a container running in the host namespaces and with access to the host’s filesystem.

server. See [MinIO Erasure Code Overview](https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/operations/concepts/erasure-coding.html) for more complete documentation. ### Stable Run the following command to run the latest stable image of MinIO as a container using an ephemeral data volume: ```sh podman run -p 9000:9000 -p 9001:9001 \ quay.io/minio/minio server /data --console-address ":9001" ``` The MinIO deployment starts using default root credentials `minioadmin:minioadmin`. You can test the deployment using the MinIO...

and enabled by default.  The LocalStorageCapacityIsolation feature added a new resource type ResourceEphemeralStorage "ephemeral-storage" so that this resource can be allocated, limited, and consumed as the same way as CPU/memory. All the features related to resource management (resource request/limit, quota, limitrange) are available for local ephemeral storage. This local ephemeral storage represents the storage for root file system, which will be consumed by containers' writable layer and logs. Some...

* Add zsh completion for kubectl ([#23797](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/23797), [@sttts](https://github.com/sttts))
* AWS kube-up: tolerate a lack of ephemeral volumes ([#23776](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/23776), [@justinsb](https://github.com/justinsb))
