Provided you enable the `KubeletFineGrainedAuthz` feature gate, you can access kubelet's `/healthz` endpoint by granting the caller `nodes/helathz` permission in RBAC.
  Similarly you can also access  kubelet's `/pods` endpoint to fetch a list of Pods bound to that node by granting the caller `nodes/pods` permission in RBAC.

- kubeadm: use etcd's /health endpoint for a HTTP liveness probe on localhost instead of having a custom health check using etcdctl ([#81385](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/81385), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123))

- A new API server flag `--encryption-provider-config-automatic-reload` was added to control when the encryption config should be automatically reloaded without needing to restart the server.  All KMS plugins are now merged into a single healthz check at `/healthz/kms-providers` when reload is enabled, or when only KMS v2 plugins are used. ([#113529](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113529), [@enj](https://github.com/enj))

- Exposed the kube-scheduler "/livez" and "/readz" endpoints for health checks that are in compliance with https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/using-api/health-checks/#api-endpoints-for-health. ([#118148](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118148), [@linxiulei](https://github.com/linxiulei)) [SIG API Machinery, Scheduling and Testing]

- Kubeadm: during kubelet health checks, respect the healthz address:port configured in the KubeletConfiguration instead of hardcoding localhost:10248. ([#125286](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125286), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

- We have added a new Priority & Fairness rule that exempts all probes (/readyz, /healthz, /livez) to prevent 
  restarting of "healthy" kube-apiserver instance(s) by kubelet. ([#101111](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/101111), [@tkashem](https://github.com/tkashem)) [SIG API Machinery]
