- Kubeadm: ensured waiting for apiserver uses a local client that doesn't reach to the control plane endpoint and instead reaches directly to the local API server endpoint.

Suppose a function <code>G</code> defers a function <code>D</code> that calls
<code>recover</code> and a panic occurs in a function on the same goroutine in which <code>G</code>
is executing.
When the running of deferred functions reaches <code>D</code>,
the return value of <code>D</code>'s call to <code>recover</code> will be the value passed to the call of <code>panic</code>.
If <code>D</code> returns normally, without starting a new

It is likely that `v1alpha2` will be removed in one of the future Kubernetes releases to be able to develop `v1`.

### Structured logging graduate to Beta

- [Namespaced Brokers](https://svc-cat.io/docs/namespaced-broker-resources/), which enable operators to install a broker into a namespace instead of the cluster level, reached GA.
- The [Service Plan Defaults](https://svc-cat.io/docs/service-plan-defaults/) feature is in alpha and is under active development. This feature gives operators the ability to define defaults for when someone provisions a service.

- `StartupProbe` was explicitly stopped when the `successThreshold` was reached.
  This eliminated the problem of executing `StartupProbe` more times than
  the `successThreshold`. ([#121206](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121206), [@mochizuki875](https://github.com/mochizuki875))

  Additionally, if you enable the `JobSuccessPolicy` feature gate, the Job gets "CompletionsReached" reason for the "SuccessCriteriaMet" and "Complete" condition type
  when the number of succeeded Job Pods (`.status.succeeded`) reached the desired completions (`.spec.completions`). ([#126067](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126067), [@tenzen-y](https://github.com/tenzen-y)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps and Testing]

- Fixed an issue where a `CronJob` could fail to clean up Jobs when the `ResourceQuota` for `Jobs` had been reached. ([#119776](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119776), [@ASverdlov](https://github.com/ASverdlov))

* Updates Cinder AttachDisk operation to be more reliable by delegating Detaches to volume manager. ([#50042](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/50042), [@jingxu97](https://github.com/jingxu97))

* Add dns capabilities for Windows CNI plugins: ([#67435](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/67435), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer))
