- `alpha` support (guarded by the `ServiceAccountTokenPodNodeInfo` feature gate) for including the node name (and uid, if the node exists) as additional claims in service account tokens it issues which are bound to pods, and `authentication.kubernetes.io/node-name` and `authentication.kubernetes.io/node-uid` extra user info when the token is used to authenticate.

* Add new Prometheus metric that monitors the remaining lifetime of certificates used to authenticate requests to the API server. ([#50387](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/50387), [@jcbsmpsn](https://github.com/jcbsmpsn))

- Fixed an issue where `pull image` fails from a cross-subscription Azure Container Registry when using MSI to authenticate. ([#77245](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/77245), [@norshtein](https://github.com/norshtein))

effect. Delete/modify the configs if that's not desirable. ([#58185](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58185), [@caesarxuchao](https://github.com/caesarxuchao))

* 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...

- Kube-apiserver now reports latency metric for JWT authenticator authenticate token decisions in the `apiserver_authentication_jwt_authenticator_latency_seconds` metric, labeled by jwtIssuer hash and result. ([#123225](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123225), [@aramase](https://github.com/aramase))

    *   Mutation support for admission webhooks. ([#54892](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54892),[ @caesarxuchao](https://github.com/caesarxuchao))
    *   Webhook admission now takes a config file that describes how to authenticate to webhook servers ([#54414](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54414),[ @deads2k](https://github.com/deads2k))

 - Provides a fix to allow a cluster in a private Azure cloud to authenticate to ACR in the same cloud. ([#90425](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/90425), [@DavidParks8](https://github.com/DavidParks8)) [SIG Cloud Provider]

For example, you could have code like this:

```Python
def get_current_user(token: str):
    # authenticate user
    return User()


@app.get("/items/")
def read_items(user: User = Depends(get_current_user)):
    ...


@app.post("/items/")
