* Fixes issue where you could not mount NFS or glusterFS volumes using hostnames on GCI/GKE with COS images. ([#42376](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/42376), [@jingxu97](https://github.com/jingxu97))

  - Health check (liveness & readiness) probes using an HTTPGetAction will no longer follow redirects to different hostnames from the original probe request.

* Webhook client credentials configured with `--admission-control-config-file` must include non-default ports in the configured hostnames. For example, a webhook configured to speak to port 8443 on service `mysvc` in namespace `myns` would specify client credentials in a stanza with `name: mysvc.myns.svc:8443`.
