- Kubelet metrics have been changed to buckets. For example the `exec/{podNamespace}/{podID}/{containerName}` is now just exec. ([#87913](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/87913), [@cheftako](https://github.com/cheftako)) [SIG Node]

- Kubelet metrics have been changed to buckets. 
  For example the exec/{podNamespace}/{podID}/{containerName} is now just exec. ([#87913](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/87913), [@cheftako](https://github.com/cheftako)) [SIG Node]

- The `--pod` flag (`-p` shorthand) of the kubectl exec command has been marked as deprecated, and will be removed in a future version. This flag is currently optional. ([#66558](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/66558), [@quasoft](https://github.com/quasoft))

- `kubectl run` can set a service account name in the generated pod
  spec with the `--serviceaccount` flag.

- `kubectl proxy` now correctly handles the `exec`, `attach`, and
  `portforward` commands.  You must pass `--disable-filter` to the command to allow these commands.

- Added `cronjobs.batch` to "all", so that `kubectl get all` returns them.

- Users might specify the `kubectl.kubernetes.io/default-exec-container` annotation in a Pod to preselect container for kubectl commands. ([#97099](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/97099), [@pacoxu](https://github.com/pacoxu)) [SIG CLI]

### Feature

* CRI: Add stdout/stderr fields to Exec and Attach requests. ([#52686](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52686), [@yujuhong](https://github.com/yujuhong))
* Cluster Autoscaler 1.0.0 ([#53005](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53005), [@mwielgus](https://github.com/mwielgus))

* The default Flexvolume plugin directory for COS images on GCE has changed to `/home/kubernetes/flexvolume`, rather than `/etc/srv/kubernetes/kubelet-plugins/volume/exec`. Existing Flexvolume installations in clusters using COS images must be moved to the new directory, and installation processes must be updated with the new path. ([#58171](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58171), [@verult](https://github.com/verult))...

- Changed the error message to `cannot exec into multiple objects at a time` when file passed to `kubectl exec` contains multiple resources ([#114249](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114249), [@ardaguclu](https://github.com/ardaguclu))

* The priorityClass feature is now considered beta. ([#63724](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/63724), [@ravisantoshgudimetla](https://github.com/ravisantoshgudimetla))
* client-go: credential exec plugins is now considered beta. ([#64482](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/64482), [@ericchiang](https://github.com/ericchiang))

or GA.
  * New Flex Volume Plugin enables users to use out-of-process volume plugins that
are installed to “/usr/libexec/kubernetes/kubelet-plugins/volume/exec/” on
every node, instead of being compiled into the Kubernetes binary. See [example](examples/volumes/flexvolume/README.md) for details.
  * vendor volumes into a pod. It expects vendor drivers are installed in the
