* Bug fix: Clusters with GCE feature 'DiskAlphaAPI' enabled were unable to dynamically provision GCE PD volumes. ([#59447](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/59447), [@verult](https://github.com/verult))

- Client-ca bundles for the all generic-apiserver based servers will dynamically reload from disk on content changes ([#83579](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83579), [@deads2k](https://github.com/deads2k))

- The extension API server can now dynamically discover the requestheader CA certificate when the core API server doesn't use certificate based authentication for it's clients. ([#66394](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/66394), [@rtripat](https://github.com/rtripat))

* A smaller fix for the apiserver panic. ([#67552](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/67552), [@wgliang](https://github.com/wgliang))
* Allows extension API server to dynamically discover the requestheader CA certificate when the core API server doesn't use certificate based authentication for it's clients ([#66394](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/66394), [@rtripat](https://github.com/rtripat))

- Kubernetes cannot distinguish between GCE Zonal PDs and Regional PDs with the same name. To workaround this issue, precreate PDs with unique names. PDs that are dynamically provisioned do not encounter this issue. ([#70716](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/70716), [@msau42](https://github.com/msau42))

## Known Issues

- Expose `/debug/flags/v` to allow dynamically setting log level for kube-proxy. ([#98306](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98306), [@borgerli](https://github.com/borgerli)) [SIG Network]

[image credential providers](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/kubelet-credential-provider/kubelet-credential-provider/)
has now graduated to Beta.
This allows the kubelet to dynamically retrieve credentials for a container image registry
using exec plugins, rather than storing credentials on the node's filesystem.
