- When using `kubectl replace` (or the equivalent API call) on a Service, the caller no longer needs to do a read-modify-write cycle to fetch the allocated values for `.spec.clusterIP` and `.spec.ports[].nodePort`.  Instead the API server will automatically carry these forward from the original object when the new object does not specify them. ([#104672](https://github.com/kubernetes/ku...

  Similarly you can also access  kubelet's `/pods` endpoint to fetch a list of Pods bound to that node by granting the caller `nodes/pods` permission in RBAC.
  Similarly you can also access kubelet's `/configz` endpoint to fetch kubelet's configuration by granting the caller `nodes/configz` permission in RBAC.

    2. Add function `GetMultiTenantServicePrincipalToken` to fetch multi-tenant service principal token, which will be used by Azure VM/VMSS Clients in this feature.

- Fixed a regression in default 1.27 configurations in kube-apiserver: fixed the AggregatedDiscoveryEndpoint feature (beta in 1.27+) to successfully fetch discovery information from aggregated API servers that do not check `Accept` headers when serving the `/apis` endpoint ([#120359](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120359), [@Jefftree](https://github.com/Jefftree)) [SIG API Machinery]

* Fix `kubeadm upgrade plan` for offline operation: ignore errors when trying to fetch latest versions from dl.k8s.io ([#54016](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54016), [@praseodym](https://github.com/praseodym))

  * Now to edit a particular API version, provide the fully-qualify the resource, version, and group used to fetch the object (for example, `job.v1.batch/myjob`)
  * Client-side conversion is no longer done, and the `--output-version` option is deprecated for `kubectl edit`.
* `edit` works as intended with apply and will not change the annotation

- Structured Authentication Configuration now supports `DiscoveryURL`. If specified, `discoveryURL` overrides the URL used to fetch discovery information. This is for scenarios where the well-known and jwks endpoints are hosted at a different location than the issuer (such as locally in the cluster).

- Updated the `v1` credential provider configuration to include the `tokenAttributes.cacheType` field. This field is required and must be set to either `ServiceAccount` or `Token` when configuring a provider that uses a service account to fetch registry credentials.
