- Kube-apiserver: Each unique set of etcd server overrides specified with `--etcd-servers-overrides` surfaced health checks named `etcd-override-<index>` and `etcd-override-readiness-<index>`. These checks were still excluded by the `?exclude=etcd` and `?exclude=etcd-readiness` directives. ([#129438](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/129438), [@pacoxu](https://github.com/pacoxu)) [SIG API Machinery and Testing]

- Removed `/livez` livezchecks for KMS v1 and v2 to ensure KMS health does not cause `kube-apiserver` restart. KMS health checks are still in place as a healthz and readiness checks. ([#120583](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120583), [@ritazh](https://github.com/ritazh))

## Changelog since v1.16.0

### Other notable changes

* Limit the body length of exec readiness/liveness probes. remote CRIs and Docker shim read a max of 16MB output of which the exec probe itself inspects 10kb. ([#82514](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/82514), [@dims](https://github.com/dims))

- kubeadm: switched the kube-scheduler static Pod to use the endpoints `/livez` (for startup and liveness probes) and `/readyz` (for the readiness probe). Previously, `/healthz` was used for all probes, which is deprecated behavior in the scope of this component.

### Bug or Regression

- Fix 121094 by re-introducing the readiness predicate for externalTrafficPolicy: Local services. ([#121116](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121116), [@alexanderConstantinescu](https://github.com/alexanderConstantinescu)) [SIG Cloud Provider and Network]

- Kubeadm: Switched to using the new etcd endpoints introduced in 3.5.11 - /livez (for liveness probe) and /readyz (for readyness and startup probe). With this change it is no longer possible to deploy a custom etcd version older than 3.5.11 with kubeadm 1.31. If so, please upgrade etcd to a supported version.
