* --application_metrics_count_limit
    * --boot_id_file
    * --container_hints
    * --containerd
    * --docker

This means entire plugins can be enabled and disabled without having to manually edit individual extension point settings.
These extension points can now be abstracted away due to their irrelevance for most users.

### CSI Migration updates

CSI Migration enables the replacement of existing in-tree storage plugins such as `kubernetes.io/gce-pd` or `kubernetes.io/aws-ebs` with a corresponding CSI driver.

*   Load Balancer (Octavia) V2 is now supported, in addition to Neutron LBaaS V2.
*   Neutron LBaas V1 support has been removed.

This work enables Kubernetes to take full advantage of the relevant services as exposed by OpenStack clouds. Refer to the [Cloud Providers](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/cloud-providers/#openstack) documentation for more information.

### Storage

- Graduated the `LegacyServiceAccountTokenTracking` feature gate to Beta. The usage of auto-generated secret-based service account token now produces warnings by default, and relevant Secrets are labeled with a last-used timestamp (label key `kubernetes.io/legacy-token-last-used`). ([#114523](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114523), [@zshihang](https://github.com/zshihang)) [SIG API Machinery and Auth]

   ([#117024](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117024), [@sanposhiho](https://github.com/sanposhiho))

* flexvolume: trigger plugin init only for the relevant plugin while probe ([#58519](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58519), [@linyouchong](https://github.com/linyouchong))

- Graduated the `LegacyServiceAccountTokenTracking` feature gate to GA. The usage of auto-generated secret-based service account token now produces warnings, and relevant Secrets are labeled with a last-used timestamp (label key `kubernetes.io/legacy-token-last-used`). ([#117591](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117591), [@zshihang](https://github.com/zshihang)) [SIG API Machinery, Auth and Testing]

   The `read_vs_write_current_requests` metric histogram is adjusted, in the case of using API Priority and Fairness instead of max-in-flight, to divide by the relevant limit: sum of queue capacities for waiting requests, sum of seat limits for executing requests. ([#110164](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/110164), [@MikeSpreitzer](https://github.com/MikeSpreitzer))

## Changelog since v1.18.0-alpha.2

### Deprecation

- Remove all the generators from kubectl run. It will now only create pods. Additionally, deprecates all the flags that are not relevant anymore. ([#87077](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/87077), [@soltysh](https://github.com/soltysh)) [SIG Architecture, SIG CLI, and SIG Testing]

    - When upgrading from previous releases, issues will arise with public IPs if multiple clusters share the same resource group. To solve these problems, make the following changes to the cluster:
Recreate the relevant LoadBalancer services, or add a new tag 'kubernetes-cluster-name: <cluster-name>' manually for existing public IPs.
