- The PodDisruptionBudget `spec.unhealthyPodEvictionPolicy` field has graduated to GA. This field may be set to `AlwaysAllow` to always allow unhealthy pods covered by the PodDisruptionBudget to be evicted.

* If ExperimentalCriticalPodAnnotation=True flag gate is set, kubelet will ensure that pods with `scheduler.alpha.kubernetes.io/critical-pod` annotation will be admitted even under resource pressure, will not be evicted, and are reasonably protected from system OOMs. ([#41052](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/41052), [@vishh](https://github.com/vishh))

     * present in the cache. Active values consist of live values, which are returned by cache
     * lookups, and dead values, which have been evicted but awaiting removal. Non-active values
     * consist strictly of loading values, though during refresh a value may be both active and
     * loading.

- `Kubectl drain node --dry-run` will list pods that would be evicted or deleted ([#82660](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/82660), [@sallyom](https://github.com/sallyom)) [SIG CLI]

  - pod eviction API calls returned spurious precondition errors and required a second evict API call to succeed
  - dry-run eviction API calls persisted a DisruptionTarget condition into the pod being evicted ([#116750](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116750), [@atiratree](https://github.com/atiratree)) [SIG API Machinery and Testing]

- DRA: Device taints enable DRA drivers or admins to mark device as unusable, which prevents allocating them. Pods may also get evicted at runtime if a device becomes unusable, depending on the severity of the taint and whether the claim tolerates the taint.
