work-in-progress for removing the in-tree provider. This work, being done in conjunction with SIG Cloud Provider, is focusing on moving internal APIs that the OpenStack (and other providers) depends upon to staging to guarantee API stability. This work also included abstracting the in-tree Cinder API and refactoring code to the external Cinder provider to remove additional Cinder volume provider code.

Additional work was also done to implement an OpenStack driver for the Cluster API effort lead...

### Bug or Regression

- Fix component status calling etcd health endpoint over http which exposed kubernetes to the risk of complete watch starvation and is inconsistent with other etcd probing done by kube-apiserver. ([#118683](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118683), [@serathius](https://github.com/serathius)) [SIG API Machinery]

* Authors of aggregated API servers must not rely on authorization being done by the kube-apiserver, and must do delegated authorization in addition. ([#61349](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/61349), [@sttts](https://github.com/sttts))

#### Node

- The deprecated kubelet security controls `AllowPrivileged`, `HostNetworkSources`, `HostPIDSources`, and `HostIPCSources` have been removed. Enforcement of these restrictions should be done through admission control (such as `PodSecurityPolicy`) instead. ([#77820](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/77820), [@dims](https://github.com/dims))

* [Breaking change, client-go]: The WaitFor function returns, probably an ErrWaitTimeout, when the done channel is closed, even if the `WaitFunc` doesn't handle the done channel. ([#72364](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72364), [@kdada](https://github.com/kdada))

  
  The API does include a few breaking changes:
  - The "extraArgs" component construct is now a list of "name"/"value" pairs instead of a string/string map. This has been done to support duplicate args where needed.
  - The "JoinConfiguration.discovery.timeout" field has been replaced by "JoinConfiguration.timeouts.discovery".

- Fixed SELinux warning controller not to emit events for completed pods. ([#136172](h...

- ValidatingAdmissionPolicy type checking now correctly handles `authorizer` variable. ([#118540](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118540), [@jiahuif](https://github.com/jiahuif)) [SIG API Machinery]
- When a pod is done or not going to run, then `ResourceClaims` for it can be reused by other pods or deleted. ([#118817](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118817), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))

    * and cloud_cidr_allocator. (ALPHA FEATURE)
    * Note: for this change, the other allocators still exist and are the default.
    * It supports two modes:
        * CIDR range allocations done within the cluster that are then propagated out to the cloud provider.
        * Cloud provider managed IPAM that is then reflected into the cluster.

* Allow for configuring etcd hostname in the manifest ([#54403](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54403), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t))
* - kubeadm  will warn users if access to IP ranges for Pods or Services will be done via HTTP proxy. ([#52792](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52792), [@kad](https://github.com/kad))
