- Migrated `pod-security-admission` to use [contextual logging](https://k8s.io/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/system-logs/#contextual-logging). ([#114471](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114471), [@Namanl2001](https://github.com/Namanl2001)) [SIG Apps and Auth]

using exec plugins, rather than storing credentials on the node's filesystem.

### Contextual Logging in Alpha

that enables the caller of a function to control all aspects of logging (output formatting, verbosity, additional values and names).

### Avoiding Collisions in IP allocation to Services

- Add --experimental-logging-sanitization flag enabling runtime protection from leaking sensitive data in logs ([#96370](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96370), [@serathius](https://github.com/serathius)) [SIG API Machinery, Cluster Lifecycle and Instrumentation]
