- Fix an error when using external etcd but storing etcd certificates in the same folder with the same name used by kubeadm for local etcd certificates; for an older version of kubeadm, the workaround is to avoid file name used by kubeadm for local etcd.

### Bug or Regression

- Fix kube-proxy regression on UDP services because the logic to detect stale connections was not considering if the endpoint was ready. (#106239, @aojea) [SIG Network and Testing]
- Fix scoring for NodeResourcesBalancedAllocation plugins when nodes have containers with no requests. (#106081, @ahmad-diaa) [SIG Scheduling]
- Support more than 100 disk mounts on Windows (#105673, @andyzhangx) [SIG Storage and Windows]

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.
