- The e2e suite can be instructed not to wait for pods in kube-system to be ready or for all nodes to be ready by passing `--allowed-not-ready-nodes=-1` when invoking the e2e.test program. This allows callers to run subsets of the e2e suite in scenarios other than perfectly healthy clusters. ([#98781](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98781), [@smartercl...

    * 2. IPv4: api-server will assign an IP from a `service-cluster-ip-range` that is `ipv4` (either the primary or the secondary, according to how they were configured).
    * 2. IPv6: api-server will assign an IP from a `service-cluster-ip-range` that is `ipv6` (either the primary or the secondary, according to how they were configured).

- Kube-apiserver: the alpha PodSecurity feature can be enabled by passing `--feature-gates=PodSecurity=true`, and enables controlling allowed pods using namespace labels.
