* Because some plugins mount volume on sub-directory of volume path, we need to distinguish between volume path and mount path to fix issue in reconstruction. ([#74653](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/74653), [@cofyc](https://github.com/cofyc))

* Implement TLS bootstrap for kubelet using `--experimental-bootstrap-kubeconfig`  (2nd take) ([#30922](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/30922), [@yifan-gu](https://github.com/yifan-gu))

### StatefulSet

* Fix zone placement heuristics so that multiple mounts in a StatefulSet pod are created in the same zone ([#40910](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/40910), [@justinsb](https://github.com/justinsb))
