* [fluentd-gcp addon] Fluentd now runs in its own network, not in the host one. ([#54395](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54395), [@crassirostris](https://github.com/crassirostris))

* Cluster Autoscaler 1.0.2 ([#55161](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55161), [@mwielgus](https://github.com/mwielgus))

    * - Stop mounting the host certificates into fluentd's prometheus-to-sd container

separate flag, the order in which they're specified doesn't matter.  ([#58123](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58123), [@hzxuzhonghu](https://github.com/hzxuzhonghu))

* The kubelet  --docker-disable-shared-pid flag, which runs docker containers with a process namespace that is shared between all containers in a pod, is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release. It is replaced by `v1.Pod.Spec.ShareProcessNamespace`, which configures this behavior. This field...

*   `kube-apiserver` now runs with the default value for `service-cluster-ip-range` ([#52870](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52870),[ @jennybuckley](https://github.com/jennybuckley))

- "unfinished_work_microseconds" is added to the workqueue metrics; it can be used to detect stuck worker threads. (kube-controller-manager runs many workqueues.) ([#70884](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/70884), [@lavalamp](https://github.com/lavalamp))

### Introducing Windows CSI support alpha for Kubernetes

control plane components as non-root users. This is a long requested security measure in kubeadm. To try it you must enable the kubeadm-specific `RootlessControlPlane` feature gate. When you deploy a cluster using this alpha feature, your control plane runs with lower privileges.

A new [v1beta3 configuration API](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubeadm/issues/1796). It [iterates over v1beta2](https://pkg.go.dev/k8s.io/kubernetes/cmd/kubeadm/app/apis/kubeadm/v1beta3) by adding some long requested...

## Changes to Cluster Provisioning Scripts

### AWS

on the kubelet performing the TLS Bootstrap properly. Earlier, `kubeadm join` only did the discovery part and exited successfully without checking that the kubelet actually started properly and performed the TLS bootstrap correctly. Now, as kubeadm runs some post-join steps (for example, annotating the Node API object with the CRISocket), `kubeadm join` is now waiting for the kubelet to perform the TLS Bootstrap, and then uses that credential to perform further actions. This also improves the UX,...
