* kubeadm: kubelets in kubeadm clusters now disable the readonly port (10255). If you're relying on unauthenticated access to the readonly port, please switch to using the secure port (10250). Instead, you can now use ServiceAccount tokens when talking to the secure port, which will make it easier to get access to, for example, the `/metrics` endpoint of the kubelet, securely. ([#64187](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/64187), [@luxas](https://github.com/luxas))

* kubectl: fixed an issue with "too old resource version" errors continuously appearing when calling `kubectl delete` ([#72825](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72825), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

- Static pods were taking extra time to be restarted after being updated.  Static pods that are waiting to restart were not correctly counted in `kubelet_working_pods`. ([#116995](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116995), [@smarterclayton](https://github.com/smarterclayton))...

### SIG-vmware

SIG-VMware development was primarily focused on fixing bugs for the in-tree cloud provider, starting the development of the external cloud provider and taking ownership of the cluster-api provider for vSphere.

In-tree cloud provider bug fixes and improvements included:
- Adding initial Zones support to the provider using vSphere Tags

- Show a warning when `volume.beta.kubernetes.io/storage-class` annotation is used in pv or pvc ([#117036](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117036), [@haoruan](https://github.com/haoruan)) [SIG Storage]

* [stable] Expose storage usage metrics

  * The available capacity of a given Persistent Volume (PV) is available by calling the Kubernetes metrics API.

* [stable] Volume plugin metrics

  * Success and latency metrics for all Kubernetes calls are available by calling the Kubernetes metrics API. You can request volume operations, including mount, unmount, attach, detach, provision, and delete.
