### Apps

The core workloads API, which is composed of the DaemonSet, Deployment, ReplicaSet, and StatefulSet kinds, has been promoted to GA stability in the apps/v1 group version. As such, the apps/v1beta2 group version is deprecated, and all new code should use the kinds in the apps/v1 group version.

### Auth

  are now in the apps/v1beta2 group and version.

- The apps/v1beta2 group version adds a Scale subresource for the StatefulSet
kind.

- All kinds in the apps/v1beta2 group version add a corresponding conditions
  kind.

#### Behavioral Changes

 - For all kinds in the API group version, a spec.selector default value is no longer

* The `PodSecurityPolicy` API has been moved to the `policy/v1beta1` API group. The `PodSecurityPolicy` API in the `extensions/v1beta1` API group is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Authorizations for using pod security policy resources should change to reference the `policy` API group after upgrading to 1.11.

  ### Kubemark

- Upon successful authorization check, an impersonated user is added to the system:authenticated group.
  system:anonymous when impersonated is added to the system:unauthenticated group. ([#94409](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/94409), [@tkashem](https://github.com/tkashem)) [SIG API Machinery and Testing]

## Changes by Kind

### API Change

- Aggregated discovery now returns `responseKind: {}` for resources which are missing group/version/kind information, to ensure compatibility with v0.26.0-v0.26.3 clients.

### Feature

* Improve efficiency of preemption logic in clusters with many pending pods. ([#72895](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72895), [@bsalamat](https://github.com/bsalamat))
* Fix AWS NLB security group updates where valid security group ports were incorrectly removed ([#68422](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/68422), [@kellycampbell](https://github.com/kellycampbell))
    * when updating a service or when node changes occur.

- NONE ([#124326](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124326), [@ritazh](https://github.com/ritazh)) [SIG Auth]
- OpenAPI V2 will no longer publish aggregated apiserver OpenAPI for group-versions not matching the APIService specified group version ([#123625](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123625), [@Jefftree](https://github.com/Jefftree)) [SIG API Machinery and Testing]

  ### IONOS
  - Add support for IONOS
  
  ### Kubemark

- Updated pause image to version 3.5, which now runs per default as pseudo user and group `65535:65535`. This does not have any effect on remote container runtimes like CRI-O and containerd, which setup the pod sandbox user and group on their own.
