SIG Storage co-chair transition, PodSchedulingReadiness gate removed

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Kubernetes

Kubernetes removed the PodSchedulingReadiness feature gate and rotated SIG Storage leadership while CI hardening shipped in the release repo.

The PodSchedulingReadiness feature gate is now removed [1], making the scheduling-readiness feature unconditional. The e2e auth projected podcertificate test now binds an unprivileged port instead of 443 [2], fixing a failure in environments enforcing net.ipv4.ip_unprivileged_port_start. SIG Storage transitions leadership: Saad Ali stepped down, Hemant Kumar nominated as co-chair [3]. The release repo bumped step-security/harden-runner from 2.21.0 to 2.21.1 [4], and bumped google.golang.org/grpc to 1.83.1 [5], with the grpc patch 'Fix a bug where nested Principal or Permission rules with :scheme or grpc- prefixed header matchers were not rejected'. apimachinery fixes Quantity.String() dropping the suffix for DecimalSI values above 10^18 [6].
