An API server fronted by an L7 load balancer that already mitigates these http/2 attacks may choose not to enable the kube-apiserver mitigation to avoid disrupting load balancer → kube-apiserver connections if http/2 requests from multiple clients share the same backend connection. An API server on a private network may choose not to enable the kube-apiserver mitigation to prevent performance regressions for unauthenticated clients.

* After a kubelet rotates its client cert, it now closes its connections to the API server to force a handshake using the new cert. Previously, the kubelet could keep its existing connection open, even if the cert used for that connection was expired and rejected by the API server.

- The kubelet no longer forcefully closes active connections on heartbeat failures, using the HTTP2 health check mechanism to detect broken connections. Users can force the previous behavior of the kubelet by setting the environment variable DISABLE_HTTP2.

An API server fronted by an L7 load balancer that already mitigates these http/2 attacks may choose to disable the kube-apiserver mitigation to avoid disrupting load balancer -> kube-apiserver connections if http/2 requests from multiple clients share the same backend connection.

- Changed the API server so that for admission webhooks that have a URL matching the hostname 'localhost' or a loopback IP address, the connection supports HTTP/2 where it could be negotiated.
