- Introduced new metrics removing the redundant subsystem in kube-apiserver pod logs metrics and deprecate the original ones:
  - kube_apiserver_pod_logs_pods_logs_backend_tls_failure_total becomes kube_apiserver_pod_logs_backend_tls_failure_total

    /** The key of the configuration. e.g. * */
    String API_CORS_ALLOW_ORIGIN = "api.cors.allow.origin";

    /** The key of the configuration. e.g. GET, POST, OPTIONS, DELETE, PUT */
    String API_CORS_ALLOW_METHODS = "api.cors.allow.methods";

    /** The key of the configuration. e.g. 3600 */
    String API_CORS_MAX_AGE = "api.cors.max.age";

s/tasks/debug/debug-cluster/audit/) is now enabled behind a featureGate in kubeadm. A user can supply their own audit policy with configuration option as well as a place for the audit logs to live. If no policy is supplied a default policy will be provided. The default policy will log all Metadata level policy logs. It is the example provided in the documentation.

- Migrated the `volumebinding scheduler plugins` to use [contextual logging](https://k8s.io/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/system-logs/#contextual-logging). ([#116803](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116803), [@mengjiao-liu](h...

* Audit policy supports matching subresources and resource names, but the top level resource no longer matches the subresouce. For example "pods" no longer matches requests to the logs subresource of pods. Use "pods/logs" to match subresources.

- GCE: bumped COS image version to `cos-beta-73-11647-64-0` ([#75149](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/75149), [@yguo0905](https://github.com/yguo0905))

warning texts were not always using the right format for a command (`add_dir_header` instead of `add-dir-header`). Fixing this included cleaning up flag handling in component-base/logs: that package no longer adds flags to the global flag sets. Commands which want the klog and `--log-flush-frequency` flags must explicitly call `logs.AddFlags`; the new `cli.Run` does that for commands. That helper function also covers flag normalization and printing of usage and errors in a consistent way (print usage text...

* Advanced audit policy now supports matching subresources and resource names, but the top level resource no longer matches the subresouce. For example "pods" no longer matches requests to the logs subresource of pods. Use "pods/logs" to match subresources.
