### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

- Added basic Denial Of Service prevention for the the node-local kubelet `podresource` API ([#116459](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116459), [@ffromani](https://github.com/ffromani)) [SIG Node and Testing]

* Initial basic bootstrap-checkpoint support ([#50984](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/50984), [@timothysc](https://github.com/timothysc))

For more information, see [#1996](https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/issues/1996).

* The `ENABLE_APISERVER_BASIC_AUDIT` configuration parameter for GCE deployments is broken, but deprecated.

For more information, see [#53154](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/53154).

* Get public IP for Azure vmss nodes. ([#68498](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/68498), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer))
* test/integration: add a basic test for covering CronJobs ([#66937](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/66937), [@mortent](https://github.com/mortent))

- The conformance tests:
  - Services should serve multiport endpoints from pods
  - Services should serve a basic endpoint from pods
  were only validating the API objects, not performing any validation on the actual Services implementation.

- Fixed bug in error messaging for basic-auth and ssh secret validations. ([#106179](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/106179), [@vivek-koppuru](https://github.com/vivek-koppuru))

- ACTION REQUIRED: Support for basic authentication via the --basic-auth-file flag has been removed.  Users should migrate to --token-auth-file for similar functionality. ([#89069](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/89069), [@enj](https://github.com/enj)) [SIG API Machinery]

Additionally, these Kubernetes snapshot primitives act as basic building blocks that unlock the ability to develop advanced, enterprise-grade, storage administration features for Kubernetes: including application or cluster level backup solutions.

    - `kubectl create clusterrolebinding anonymous-discovery --clusterrole=system:discovery --group=system:unauthenticated`
    - `kubectl create clusterrolebinding anonymous-access-review --clusterrole=system:basic-user --group=system:unauthenticated`

- Certain `requestBody` parameters in the OpenAPI `v3` are now correctly marked as required. ([#120735](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120735), [@Jefftree](https://github.com/Jefftree))
- Changed `kubectl help` to display basic details for subcommands from plugins. ([#116752](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116752), [@xvzf](https://github.com/xvzf))
