- CCM server will not listen insecurely if secure port is specified ([#68982](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/68982), [@aruneli](https://github.com/aruneli))

* You can now have services that listen on the same host ports on different interfaces by specifying `--nodeport-addresses`. ([#62003](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/62003), [@m1093782566](https://github.com/m1093782566))
* Added port-forward examples for service

- Add --permit-address-sharing flag to `kube-apiserver` to listen with `SO_REUSEADDR`. While allowing to listen on wildcard IPs like 0.0.0.0 and specific IPs in parallel, it avoids waiting for the kernel to release socket in `TIME_WAIT` state, and hence, considerably reducing `kube-apiserver` restart times under certain conditions.

*   A new scheduling queue helps schedule the highest priority pending pod first. ([#55109](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55109),[ @bsalamat](https://github.com/bsalamat))
*   A Pod can now listen to the same port on multiple IP addresses.  ([#52421](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52421),[ @WIZARD-CXY](https://github.com/WIZARD-CXY))

- New flag `--show-hidden-metrics-for-version` in kube-proxy, kubelet, kube-controller-manager, and kube-scheduler can be used to show all hidden metrics that are deprecated in the previous minor release.

* Allow kube- and cloud-controller-manager to listen on ports up to 65535. ([#65860](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/65860), [@sttts](https://github.com/sttts))
* Allow kube-scheduler to listen on ports up to 65535. ([#65833](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/65833), [@sttts](https://github.com/sttts))

- Registered_metric_total, disabled_metric_total, hidden_metric_total & kubernetes_feature_enabled are promoted to `BETA` stability.

* Fix kubelet reset liveness probe failure count across pod restart boundaries ([#46371](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/46371), [@sjenning](https://github.com/sjenning))
* The gce metadata server can be hidden behind a proxy, hiding the kubelet's token. ([#45565](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/45565), [@Q-Lee](https://github.com/Q-Lee))
