* Self hosted is no longer supported in the standard workflow. The feature flags have been removed and your self hosted cluster is no longer able to upgrade via kubeadm. ([#69878](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/69878), [@Klaven](https://github.com/Klaven))

* kube-apiserver --advertise-address is now set using downward API for self-hosted Kubernetes with kubeadm. ([#56084](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/56084), [@andrewsykim](https://github.com/andrewsykim))

* Default behavior in Cinder storageclass is changed. If availability is not specified, the zone is chosen by algorithm. It makes possible to spread stateful pods across many zones. ([#44798](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/44798), [@zetaab](https://github.com/zetaab))

### Cluster Lifecycle

#### kubeadm

* [beta] A new `upgrade` subcommand allows you to automatically upgrade a self-hosted cluster created with kubeadm. ([#296](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/296), [@luxas](https://github.com/luxas))

#### **Cloud Provider Integration**

- 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).
