* A cluster-autoscaler ClusterRole is added to cover only the functionality required by Cluster Autoscaler and avoid abusing system:cluster-admin role. ([#64503](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/64503), [@kgolab](https://github.com/kgolab))

## Major Themes

### SIG API Machinery

SIG API work this cycle involved development of the "dry run" functionality, which enables users to see the results of a particular command without persisting those changes.

### SIG-autoscaling

SIG Autoscaling focused on improving the Horizontal Pod Autoscaling API and algorithm:

- Introduces new alpha functionality to the reflector, allowing user to enable API streaming.
  
  To activate this feature, users can set the `ENABLE_CLIENT_GO_WATCH_LIST_ALPHA` environmental variable.

* Removed alpha functionality that allowed the controller manager to approve kubelet server certificates. This functionality should be replaced by automating validation and approval of node server certificate signing requests. ([#62471](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/62471), [@mikedanese](https://github.com/mikedanese))...

  - CSIPersistentVolume
  - GCERegionalPersistentDisk
  - KubeletPluginsWatcher
  - VolumeScheduling
- kubeadm
  - The DynamicKubeletConfig feature gate is deprecated. The functionality is still accessible by using the kubeadm alpha kubelet enable-dynamic command.

## Changelog since v1.10.4

### Action Required

* A cluster-autoscaler ClusterRole is added to cover only the functionality required by Cluster Autoscaler and avoid abusing system:cluster-admin role. ([#64503](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/64503), [@kgolab](https://github.com/kgolab))

- Respect ExecProbeTimeout=false for dockershim ([#101127](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/101127), [@jackfrancis](https://github.com/jackfrancis)) [SIG Node and Testing]
- Upgrades functionality of `kubectl kustomize` as described at https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kustomize/releases/tag/kustomize%2Fv4.1.0 ([#101177](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/101177), [@KnVerey](https://github.com/KnVerey)) [SIG CLI]

Renamed FeatureGate RequestManagement to APIPriorityAndFairness.  This feature gate is an alpha and has not yet been associated with any actual functionality. ([#85260](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/85260), [@MikeSpreitzer](https://github.com/MikeSpreitzer))

* The names generated for ControllerRevision and ReplicaSet are consistent with the GenerateName functionality of the API Server and will not contain "bad words". ([#51538](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51538), [@kow3ns](https://github.com/kow3ns))

` now require callers to pass a `context.Context` as an argument. The context is used for timeout and cancellation signaling and to pass supplementary information to round trippers in the wrapped transport chain. If you don't need any of this functionality, it is sufficient to pass a context created with `context.Background()` to these functions. The `(*"k8s.io/client-go/rest".Request).Context` method is removed now that all methods that execute a request accept a context directly. ([#87597](htt...
