- A bug was fixed in kubelet where exec probe timeouts were not respected. This may result in unexpected behavior since the default timeout (if not specified) is `1s` which may be too small for some exec probes. Ensure that pods relying on this behavior are updated to correctly handle probe timeouts. See [configure probe](https://docs.k8s.io/tasks/configure-pod-container/configure-liveness-readiness-startup-probes/#configure-probes) section of the documentation for more details.

### gRPC Probes Graduate to Beta

With Kubernetes 1.24, the [gRPC probes functionality](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/2727)
has entered beta and is available by default. You can now [configure startup, liveness, and readiness probes](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/configure-liveness-readiness-startup-probes/#configure-probes) for your gRPC app

- Revert kubelet prober metrics `pod` tag to include actual pod name ([#118549](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118549), [@a7i](https://github.com/a7i)) [SIG Node]

- Single static pod files and pod files from http endpoints cannot be larger than 10 MB. HTTP probe payloads are now truncated to 10KB. ([#82669](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/82669), [@rphillips](https://github.com/rphillips))

- Fix: ignore non-VMSS error for VMAS nodes in `reconcileBackendPools`. ([#103997](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/103997), [@nilo19](https://github.com/nilo19))
- Fix: leave the probe path empty for TCP probes ([#105253](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105253), [@nilo19](https://github.com/nilo19))

- Kubeadm: started using a named port 'probe-port' for all probes in the static pod manifests for kube-apiserver, kube-controller-manager, kube-scheduler and etc. If you have previously patched the port values in probes with kubeadm patches, you must now also patch the named port value in the pod container under 'ports'. ([#132776](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/132776),...

- Implemented logging and event recording for probe results with an `Unknown` status in the kubelet's prober module. This helped improve the diagnosis and monitoring of cases where container probes returned an `Unknown` result, enhancing the observability and reliability of health checks. ([#125901](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125901), [@jralmaraz](htt...

- Pod status updates faster when reacting on probe results. The first readiness probe will be called faster when startup probes succeeded, which will make Pod status as ready faster. ([#98376](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98376), [@matthyx](https://github.com/matthyx))

- Kubeadm: during execution of the "check expiration" command, treat the etcd CA as external if there is a missing etcd CA key file (etcd/ca.key) and perform the proper validation on certificates signed by the etcd CA. Additionally, make sure that the CA for all entries in the output table is included - for both certificates on disk and in kubeconfig files.
