- `kubeadm`: will now allow deploying a kubelet that is 3 versions older than the version of `kubeadm` (N-3). This aligns with the recent change made by SIG Architecture that extends the support skew between the control plane and kubelets. Tolerate this new...

  network plugins which was first widely noticed in 1.16 (though some users saw it
  earlier than that, possibly only with specific network plugins). If you were previously
  using ethtool to disable checksum offload on your primary network interface, you should
  now be able to stop doing that. ([#92035](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/92035), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship)) [SIG Network and Node]

* On AWS kubelet returns an error when started under conditions that do not allow it to work (AWS has not yet tagged the instance), rather than failing silently. ([#60125](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/60125), [@vainu-arto](https://github.com/vainu-arto))

**[Pod priority and preemption](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/pod-priority-preemption/) is now enabled by default.** Note that this means that pods from *any* namespace can now request priority classes that compete with and/or cause preemption of critical system pods that are already running. If that is not desired, disable the PodPriority feature by setting `--feature-gates=PodPriority=false` on the kube-apiserver, kube-scheduler, and kubelet components before upgrading to 1.11....

        * CIDR range allocations done within the cluster that are then propagated out to the cloud provider.
        * Cloud provider managed IPAM that is then reflected into the cluster.

- e2e tests that require SSH may now be used against clusters that have nodes without external IP addresses by setting the environment variable `KUBE_SSH_BASTION` to the `host:port` of a machine that is allowed to SSH to those nodes.  The same private key that the test would use is used for the bastion host.  The test connects to the bastion and then tunnels another SSH connection to the node. ([#72286](https://github.com/kubern...

    * To avoid that negative effect only use per pod metrics from pods that are:
    * - ready (so metrics about them should be valid), or
    * - unready but creation and last readiness change timestamps are apart more than 10s (pods that have formerly been ready and so metrics are in at least some cases (pod becoming unready because of overload) very useful).

* Fixes a bug in openapi published for custom resources using x-kubernetes-preserve-unknown-fields extensions, so that kubectl will allow sending unknown fields for that portion of the object. ([#79636](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/79636), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))
