* The kubelet API is now secured, only cluster admins are allowed to access it.
* Insecure access to the API Server over `localhost:8080` is now disabled.

* kubeadm: kubelets in kubeadm clusters now disable the readonly port (10255). If you're relying on unauthenticated access to the readonly port, please switch to using the secure port (10250). Instead, you can now use ServiceAccount tokens when talking to the secure port, which will make it easier to get access to, for example, the `/metrics` endpoint of the kubelet, securely.

- Secure serving on port 10258 to cloud-controller-manager (configurable via `--secure-port`) is now enabled. Delegated authentication and authorization are to be configured using the same flags as for aggregated API servers. Without configuration, the secure port will only allow access to `/healthz`.

#### kubectl:

cloud-controller-manager has been deprecated, and will be removed in a future release. Use `--secure-port` and `--bind-address` instead. ([#59582](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/59582), [@sttts](https://github.com/sttts))

* The ability to use the insecure flags `--insecure-bind-address`, `--insecure-port` in the apiserver has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Use `--secure-port` and `--bind-address` instead. ([#59018](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/59018),...
