#### Apps

- Hyperkube short aliases have been removed from source code, because hyperkube docker image currently creates these aliases. ([#76953](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/76953), [@Rand01ph](https://github.com/Rand01ph))

#### Auth

- `kubectl config set-context` can now set attributes of the current context, such as the current namespace, by passing `--current` instead of a specific context name ([#66140](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/66140), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

- Introduces optional --detect-local flag to kube-proxy. 
  Currently the only supported value is "cluster-cidr", 
  which is the default if not specified. ([#87748](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/87748), [@satyasm](https://github.com/satyasm)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle, Network and Scheduling]

- Introduce a feature gate `DisableCloudProviders` allowing to disable cloud-provider initialization in KAPI, KCM and kubelet.

   * **NOTE:** This command is currently staged under `kubeadm alpha phase` and will be graduated to top level in a future release.

#### kops

`client-certificate: /var/lib/kubelet/pki/kubelet-client-current.pem` and `client-key: /var/lib/kubelet/pki/kubelet-client-current.pem`, replacing the embedded client certificate and key. ([#84118](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/84118), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123))
#### Network

- `kube-proxy` now has a new nftables-based mode, available by running
  
      `kube-proxy --feature-gates NFTablesProxyMode=true --proxy-mode nftables`
  
  This is currently an alpha-level feature and while it probably will not
  eat your data, it may nibble at it a bit. (It passes e2e testing but has
  not yet seen real-world use.)
  

- Introduce a feature gate `DisableKubeletCloudCredentialProviders` which allows disabling the in-tree kubelet credential providers.
  

* Kubeadm is currently omitting etcd certificates in a self-hosted deployment; this will be fixed in a point relelase. ([#61322](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/61322))
