* kubernetes-worker juju charm: Added support for setting the --enable-ssl-chain-completion option on the ingress proxy.  "action required": if your installation relies on supplying incomplete certificate chains and using OCSP to fill them in, you must set "ingress-ssl-chain-completion" to "true" in your juju configuration.

# v1.17.0-rc.1

- The `IPTablesOwnershipCleanup` feature (KEP-3178) is now GA; kubelet no longer
  creates the `KUBE-MARK-DROP` chain (which has been unused for several releases)
  or the `KUBE-MARK-MASQ` chain (which is now only created by kube-proxy). ([#119374](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119374), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship))

`(*"k8s.io/client-go/rest".Request).{Do,DoRaw,Stream,Watch}` now require callers to pass a `context.Context` as an argument. The context is used for timeout and cancellation signaling and to pass supplementary information to round trippers in the wrapped transport chain. If you don't need any of this functionality, it is sufficient to pass a context created with `context.Background()` to these functions. The `(*"k8s.io/client-go/rest".Request).Context` method is removed now that all methods that execute a request...

- Ensure the `KUBE-MARK-DROP` chain in kube-proxy IPVS mode. The chain is ensured for both IPv4 and IPv6 in dual-stack operation. ([#82214](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/82214), [@uablrek](https://github.com/uablrek))

- The kubelet now creates an iptables chain named `KUBE-IPTABLES-HINT` in
  the `mangle` table. Containerized components that need to modify iptables
  rules in the host network namespace can use the existence of this chain
  to more-reliably determine whether the system is using iptables-legacy or
