The following test has been flaking a lot in the PR that bumps Kubernetes to v1.32.1:

[sig-network] pods should successfully create sandboxes by other

According to Component Readiness page below [1], with Kubernetes 1.32, this test flakes almost every single run. On the other hand, it only flakes occasionally in 4.19.

We identified that the main reason for the test failure is "never deleted - network rollout":
