* Add new Prometheus metric that monitors the remaining lifetime of certificates used to authenticate requests to the API server. ([#50387](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/50387), [@jcbsmpsn](https://github.com/jcbsmpsn))

## Changelog since v1.7.0

### Other notable changes

* Added new flag to `kubeadm init`: --node-name, that lets you specify the name of the Node object that will be created ([#48594](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/48594), [@GheRivero](https://github.com/GheRivero))

* kubeadm: When certificates are present joining a new control plane make sure that they match at least the required SANs ([#73093](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/73093), [@ereslibre](https://github.com/ereslibre))

- Added a new IPAddress object kind
  - Added a new ClusterIP allocator. The new allocator removes previous Service CIDR block size limitations for IPv4, and limits IPv6 size to a /64 ([#115075](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115075), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth, CLI, Cluster Lifecycle, Network and Testing]

* ConfigMap objects now support binary data via a new `binaryData` field. When using `kubectl create configmap --from-file`, files containing non-UTF8 data will be placed in this new field in order to preserve the non-UTF8 data. Use of this feature requires 1.10+ apiserver and kubelets. ([#57938](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/57938), [@dims](https://github.com/dims))

- Added a new `ipMode` field to the `.status` of Services where `type` is set to `LoadBalancer`.
