* Using kubectl gcp auth plugin with a Google Service Account to authenticate to a cluster now additionally requests a token with the  "userinfo.email" scope. This way, users can write ClusterRoleBindings/RoleBindings with the email address of the service account directly. (This is a breaking change if the numeric uniqueIDs of the Google service accounts were being used in RBAC...

- Kube-apiserver: fixes a 1.27+ regression in watch stability by serving watch requests without a resourceVersion from the watch cache by default, as in <1.27 (disabling the change in #115096 by default). This mitigates the impact of an etcd watch bug (https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/pull/17555). If the 1.27 change in #115096 to serve these requests from underlying storage is still desired despite the impact on watch stability, it can be re-enabled with a `WatchFromStorageWithoutResourceVersion`...

#### **Other**

* Fixes an error with stuck informers when an etcd watch receives update or delete events with missing data ([#76675](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/76675), [@ryanmcnamara](https://github.com/ryanmcnamara))

        * Switch to basing our image of Elasticsearch in fluentd-elasticsearch addon off the official one
        * Switch to the official image of Kibana in fluentd-elasticsearch addon
        * Use StatefulSet for Elasticsearch instead of ReplicationController, with persistent volume claims

### Failing Test

- Fixed generic ephemeal volumes with OwnerReferencesPermissionEnforcement admission plugin enabled. ([#101186](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/101186), [@jsafrane](https://github.com/jsafrane)) [SIG Auth and Storage]

- Client-go: Clients can request protobuf and json and correctly negotiate with the server for JSON for CRD objects, allowing all client libraries to request protobuf if it is available.  If an error occurs negotiating a watch with the server, the error is immediately return by the client `Watch()` method instead of being sent as an `Error` event on the watch stream.

- The watch API endpoints prefixed with `/watch` are deprecated and will be removed in a future release. These standard method for watching resources (supported since v1.0) is to use the list API endpoints with a `?watch=true` parameter. All client-go clients have used the parameter method since v1.6.0.
