- Upgrades `IPv6Dualstack` to `Beta` and turns it on by default. New clusters or existing clusters are not be affected until an actor starts adding secondary Pods and service CIDRS CLI flags as described here: [IPv4/IPv6 Dual-stack](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/tree/master/keps/sig-network/563-dual-stack) ([#98969](htt...

A security issue was discovered in Kubernetes where a user that can create pods and persistent volumes on Windows nodes may be able to escalate to admin privileges on those nodes. Kubernetes clusters are only affected if they are using an in-tree storage plugin for Windows nodes.

**Affected Versions**:
  - kubelet >= v1.8.0

**Fixed Versions**:
  - kubelet v1.28.4
  - kubelet v1.27.8

that they span multiple clusters. Creating a Federated HPA targeting
multiple clusters ensures that cluster-level autoscalers are
consistently deployed across those clusters, and dynamically managed
to ensure that autoscaling can occur optimially in all clusters,
within a set of global constraints on the total number of replicas
permitted across all clusters.  If replicas are not

`system:aggregate-to-edit` role no longer includes write access to the Endpoints API. For new Kubernetes 1.22 clusters, the `edit` and `admin` roles will no longer include that access in newly created Kubernetes 1.22 clusters. This will have no affect on existing clusters upgrading to Kubernetes 1.22. To retain write access to Endpoints in the aggregated `edit` and `admin` roles for newly created 1.22 clusters, refer to https://github.com/kubernetes/website/pull/29025.

away from the usage of the word `master` in labels and taints. For new clusters, the label `node-role.kubernetes.io/master` will no longer be added to control plane nodes, only the label `node-role.kubernetes.io/control-plane` will be added. For clusters that are being upgraded to 1.24 with `kubeadm upgrade apply`, the command will remove the label `node-role.kubernetes.io/master` from existing control plane nodes. For new clusters, both the old taint `node-role.kubernetes.io/master:NoSchedule` and...

- In "large" clusters, kube-proxy in iptables mode will now sometimes
  leave unused rules in iptables for a while (up to `--iptables-sync-period`)
  before deleting them. This improves performance by not requiring it to
  check for stale rules on every sync. (In smaller clusters, it will still
  remove unused rules immediately once they are no longer used.)

Since 1.21, Kubernetes clusters are enabled to support dual-stack networking by default.
In 1.23, the `IPv6DualStack` feature gate is removed.
The use of dual-stack networking is not mandatory.
Although clusters are enabled to support dual-stack networking, Pods and Services continue to default to single-stack.

- Creation of new `CronJob` objects containing `TZ` or `CRON_TZ` in `.spec.schedule`, accidentally enabled in `v1.22`, is now disallowed. Use the `.spec.timeZone` field instead, supported in `v1.25+` clusters in default configurations. See https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/controllers/cron-jobs/#unsupported-timezone-specification for more information.
