* Fixes a bug in the OpenStack-Heat kubernetes provider, in the handling of differences between the Identity v2 and Identity v3 APIs ([#40105](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/40105), [@sc68cal](https://github.com/sc68cal))

### Container Images

- Kube-apiserver now maintains a Lease object to identify itself: 
  - The feature is under feature gate `APIServerIdentity`. 
  - Two flags are added to kube-apiserver: `identity-lease-duration-seconds`, `identity-lease-renew-interval-seconds` ([#95533](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/95533), [@roycaihw](https://github.com/roycaihw)) [SIG API Machinery]

- Fix pull image error from multiple ACRs using azure managed identity ([#96355](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96355), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx)) [SIG Cloud Provider]

- Renamed API server identity Lease labels to use the key `apiserver.kubernetes.io/identity` ([#114586](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114586), [@andrewsykim](https://github.com/andrewsykim)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Cloud Provider and Testing]

field declaration. An empty tag string is equivalent to an absent tag.
The tags are made visible through a <a href="/pkg/reflect/#StructTag">reflection interface</a>
and take part in <a href="#Type_identity">type identity</a> for structs
but are otherwise ignored.

struct {
	x, y float64 ""  // an empty tag string is like an absent tag
	name string  "any string is permitted as a tag"

- TaintNodeByCondition has been moved to Beta and is enabled by default.
- Scheduler throughput has been improved by ~50% in large clusters (>2000 nodes).

### SIG-service-catalog
- The Originating Identity feature, which lets the broker know which user that performed an action, is now GA.

  // +optional
  optional ServiceStatus status = 3;
}

// ServiceAccount binds together:
// * a name, understood by users, and perhaps by peripheral systems, for an identity
// * a principal that can be authenticated and authorized
// * a set of secrets
