- The `--bind-address` parameter in kube-proxy is misleading, no port is opened with this address. Instead it is translated internally to "nodeIP". The nodeIPs for both families are now taken from the Node object if `--bind-address` is unspecified or set to the "any" address (0.0.0.0 or ::). It is recommended to leave `--bind-address`...

- kubeadm: removed preflight check for nsenter on Linux nodes
  kubeadm: added preflight check for `losetup` on Linux nodes. It's required by kubelet for keeping a block device opened. ([#129450](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/129450), [@carlory](https://github.com/carlory)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

* The CSIBlockVolume feature gate is now beta, and defaults to enabled. ([#74909](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/74909), [@bswartz](https://github.com/bswartz))

// As of 2024-07, these are marked as reserved for potential 3LD

* kube-apiserver: the OpenID Connect authenticator can now verify ID Tokens signed with JOSE algorithms other than RS256 through the --oidc-signing-algs flag. ([#58544](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58544), [@ericchiang](https://github.com/ericchiang))

* Laid the groundwork for OIDC distributed claims handling in the apiserver authentication token checker. A distributed claim allows the OIDC provider to delegate a claim to a separate URL. ([ref](http://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-core-1_0.html#AggregatedDistributedClaims)). ([#63213](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/63213), [@filmil](https://github.com/filmil))

* Support whitespace in command path for gcp auth plugin ([#41653](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/41653), [@jlowdermilk](https://github.com/jlowdermilk))
* client-go no longer imports GCP OAuth2 and OpenID Connect packages by default. ([#41532](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/41532), [@ericchiang](https://github.com/ericchiang))

  - Clone `kubernetes/kubernetes` in `update-vendor.sh` shallowly, instead of fetching all revisions
  - Speed up binpacking by reducing the number of PreFilter calls (call once per pod instead of #pods*#nodes times)
  - Speed up finding unneeded nodes by 5x+ in very large clusters by reducing the number of PreFilter calls
  - Expose `--max-nodes-total` as a metric
