- Added authorization check support to the CEL expressions of ValidatingAdmissionPolicy via a `authorizer`

- Conflicting issuers between JWT authenticators and service account config are now detected and fail on API server startup.  Previously such a config would run but would be inconsistently effective depending on the credential.

- Adds support for CEL expressions to v1alpha1 AuthorizationConfiguration webhook matchConditions. ([#121223](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121223), [@ritazh](https://github.com/ritazh)) [SIG API Machinery and Auth]

- Removed `WindowsHostProcessContainers` feature-gate. ([#117570](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117570), [@marosset](https://github.com/marosset)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth, Node and Windows]

- Kubelet should reconcile `kubernetes.io/os` and `kubernetes.io/arch` labels on the node object. The side-effect of this is kubelet would deny admission to pod which has nodeSelector with label `kubernetes.io/os` or `kubernetes.io/arch` which doesn't match the underlying OS or arch on the host OS. 

- Fix an ephemeral port exhaustion bug caused by improper connection management that occurred when a large number of objects were handled by kubectl while exec auth was in use. ([#112339](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112339), [@enj](https://github.com/enj)) [SIG API Machinery and Auth]

- The `gcp` and `azure` auth plugins have been removed from client-go and kubectl. See https://github.com/Azure/kubelogin and https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/containers-kubernetes/kubectl-auth-changes-in-gke for details about the cloud-specific replacements.

- DRA: new API and several new features ([#125488](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125488), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth, CLI, Cluster Lifecycle, Etcd, Node, Release, Scheduling, Storage and Testing]

### API Change

- Add auth API to get self subject attributes (new selfsubjectreviews API is added). 
  The corresponding command for kubctl is provided - `kubectl auth whoami`. ([#111333](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/111333), [@nabokihms](https://github.com/nabokihms)) [SIG API Machinery, Auth, CLI and Testing]

- Using exec auth plugins with kubectl no longer results in warnings about constructing many client instances from the same exec auth config. ([#97857](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/97857), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG API Machinery and Auth]
- When a CNI plugin returns dual-stack pod IPs, kubelet will now try to respect the
