components, but only worked when those components were local to the API server, and when kube-scheduler and kube-controller-manager exposed unsecured health endpoints. Instead of this API, etcd health is included in the kube-apiserver health check and kube-scheduler/kube-controller-manager health checks can be made directly against those components' health endpoints.

### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

- Client-go header logging (at verbosity levels >= 9) now masks `Authorization` header contents ([#95316](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/95316), [@sfowl](https://github.com/sfowl)) [SIG API Machinery]

## Dependencies

### Added
_Nothing has changed._

  [overwrite of manual edits to GCP Health Checks](https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress/issues/842)
  managed by the GLBC Ingress Controller. This can cause the health checks to start failing,
  requiring you to reapply the manual edits.
  * This issue does not affect clusters that were already running Kubernetes v1.6.4 or higher.
  * This issue does not affect Health Checks that were left in the configuration

- kubeadm: use etcd's /health endpoint for a HTTP liveness probe on localhost instead of having a custom health check using etcdctl ([#81385](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/81385), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123))

running in winkernel mode. `--forward-healthcheck-vip`, if specified as true, health check traffic whose destination is service VIP will be forwarded to kube-proxy's healthcheck service. `--root-hnsendpoint-name` specifies the name of the hns endpoint for the root network namespace. This option enables the pass-through load balancers like Google's GCLB to correctly health check the backend services. Without this change, the health check packets is dropped, and Windows node will be considered to be unhealthy...

#### Load Balancing

- The `RemoteRequestHeaderUID` feature moves to beta and is now enabled by default. This makes the kube-apiserver propagate UIDs in the `X-Remote-Uid` header in requests to the aggregated API servers. The header is not honored by default for incoming requests, but that can be enabled by setting the `--requestheader-uid-headers` flag explicitly. ([#130560](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130560), [@stlaz](https://github.com/stlaz))...

* GCE/GKE load balancer health check default interval changes from 2 seconds to 8 seconds, unhealthyThreshold to 3. ([#70099](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/70099), [@grayluck](https://github.com/grayluck))
    * Health check parameters are configurable to be bigger than default values.

- If `ComponentSLIs` feature gate is enabled, then `/metrics/slis` now becomes available on cloud-controller-manager allowing you to scrape health check metrics. ([#113340](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113340), [@Richabanker](http...
