- Secure serving on port 10258 to cloud-controller-manager (configurable via `--secure-port`) is now enabled. Delegated authentication and authorization are to be configured using the same flags as for aggregated API servers. Without configuration, the secure port will only allow access to `/healthz`.

- GCERegionalPersistentDisk feature is GA now! ([#70716](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/70716), [@jingxu97](https://github.com/jingxu97))
- Added secure port 10259 to the kube-scheduler (enabled by default) and deprecate old insecure port 10251. Without further flags self-signed certs are created on startup in memory. ([#69663](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/69663), [@sttts](https://github.com/sttts))

* The ability to use the insecure HTTP port of kube-controller-manager and cloud-controller-manager has been deprecated, and will be removed in a future release. Use `--secure-port` and `--bind-address` instead. ([#59582](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/59582), [@sttts](https://github.com/sttts))

- Kubeadm: add the deprecated flag --port=0 to kube-controller-manager and kube-scheduler manifests to disable insecure serving. Without this flag the components by default serve (e.g. /metrics) insecurely on the default node interface (controlled by --address). Users that wish to override this behavior and enable insecure serving can pass a custom --port=X via kubeadm's "extraArgs" mechanic for these components.

- Kube-apiserver: the insecure address flags `--address`, `--insecure-bind-address`, `--port` and `--insecure-port` (inert since 1.20) are removed ([#106859](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/106859), [@knight42](https://github.com/knight42))

## Kubefed

* Deprecate the `--secret-name` flag from `kubefed join`, instead generating the secret name arbitrarily. ([#42513](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/42513), [@perotinus](https://github.com/perotinus))


### **Kubernetes API**
#### User Provided Extensions

### Feature

- Kubernetes is now built with Golang 1.16.9 (#105672, @cpanato) [SIG Cloud Provider, Instrumentation, Release and Testing]

### Failing Test

- Backport: e2e.test now uses the secure port to retrieve metrics data to ensure compatibility with 1.21 and 1.22 (for upgrade tests) (#104328, @pohly) [SIG API Machinery, Instrumentation, Storage and Testing]
