there are variations on file changes (like symlink swapping of directories that contain the encryption config) that the file watch logic would fail to detect. Polling at a set interval prevents any such issues. Note that there is no guarantee on how quickly the API server will process the encryption config. The `apiserver_encryption_config_controller_automatic_reload_last_timestamp_seconds` metric must be used to determine when the new config becomes effective.([#121310](https://github.com/kubernete...

SelfSubjectRulesReview, an API that lets a user see what actions they can perform with a namespace, has been added to the authorization.k8s.io API group. This bulk query is intended to enable UIs to show/hide actions based on the end user, and for users to quickly reason about their own permissions.

- Allowed attached volumes to be mounted quicker by skipping exponential backoff when checking for reported-in-use volumes. ([#106853](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/106853), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied))

takes an optional flag "--maximum-startup-sequence-duration". This allows you to explicitly define an upper bound on the apiserver startup sequences before healthz begins to fail. By keeping the kubelet liveness initial delay short, this can enable quick kubelet recovery as soon as we have a boot sequence which has not completed in our expected time frame, despite lack of completion from longer boot sequences (like RBAC). Kube-apiserver behavior when the value of this flag is zero is backwards compatible...
