### Introducing Graceful Node Shutdown (Alpha)

The `GracefulNodeShutdown` feature is now in Alpha. This allows kubelet to be aware of node system shutdowns, enabling graceful termination of pods during a system shutdown. This feature can be [enabled through feature gate](https://docs.k8s.io/concepts/architecture/nodes/#graceful-node-shutdown).
