- `kube-controller-manager` and `cloud-controller-manager` have changed the
  name of controllers that can be turned on/off that are passed to the `--controllers`
  flag (e.g., `pod-garbage-collector-controller`). The old names (eg `podgc`) are

- kube-controller-manager currently needs a writable `--cert-dir` (default is `/var/run/kubernetes`) for generating self-signed certificates, when no `--tls-cert-file` or `--tls-private-key-file` are provided.
- The `system:kube-controller-manager` ClusterRole lacks permission to `get` the `configmap` extension-apiserver-authentication. kube-controller-manager errors if run with a service account bound to the clusterrole.

- The `PersistentVolumeLabel` admission controller in the API server is deprecated.

  - The replacement is running a cloud-specific controller-manager (often referred to as `cloud-controller-manager`) with the `PersistentVolumeLabel` controller enabled. This new controller loop operates as the `PersistentVolumeLabel` admission controller did in previous versions.

#### Network
- EndpointSlices: If upgrading a cluster with EndpointSlices already enabled, any EndpointSlices that should be managed by the EndpointSlice controller should have a `endpointslice.kubernetes.io/managed-by` label set to `endpointslice-controller.k8s.io`.

### **Apps**

*   The `kubernetes.io/created-by` annotation is no longer added to controller-created objects. Use the `metadata.ownerReferences` item with controller set to `true` to determine which controller, if any, owns an object. ([#54445](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54445),[ @crimsonfaith91](https://github.com/crimsonfaith91))

* Improve Azure instance metadata handling by adding caches. ([#70353](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/70353), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer))
* Fix cloud-controller-manager crash when using OpenStack provider and PersistentVolume initializing controller   ([#70459](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/70459), [@mvladev](https://github.com/mvladev))
