- The `AdvancedAuditing` feature gate that graduated to GA in `v1.12` (and was unconditionally
  enabled) has been removed. ([#118763](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118763), [@Shubham82](https://github.com/Shubham82))

- RemoteCommand feature gates for kubectl exec, cp, and attach over WebSockets are now enabled by default (Beta):
  - Server-side feature gate: `TranslateStreamCloseWebsocketRequests`
  - Client-side (kubectl) feature gate: `KUBECTL_REMOTE_COMMAND_WEBSOCKETS`

### Beta

### SIG-instrumentation

No feature work, but a large refactoring of metrics-server as well as a number of bug fixes.

### SIG-node

SIG-node graduated the PodShareProcessNamespace feature from alpha to beta.  This feature allows a pod spec to request that all containers in a pod share a common process namespaces.

  // built in to Kubernetes, and have special scaling options on top of those
  // available to normal per-pod metrics using the "pods" source.
  // This is an alpha feature and can be enabled by the HPAContainerMetrics feature flag.
  // +optional
  optional ContainerResourceMetricSource containerResource = 7;

  // external refers to a global metric that is not associated

  // built in to Kubernetes, and have special scaling options on top of those
  // available to normal per-pod metrics using the "pods" source.
  // This is an alpha feature and can be enabled by the HPAContainerMetrics feature flag.
  // +optional
  optional ContainerResourceMetricSource containerResource = 7;

  // external refers to a global metric that is not associated

- a new `EndpointSliceProxying` feature gate has been added to control the use of EndpointSlices in kube-proxy. The EndpointSlice feature gate that used to control this behavior no longer affects kube-proxy. This feature has been disabled by default. ([#86137](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/86137), [@robscott](https://github.com/robscott)) 

  // a persistent volume defined by a pod's inline VolumeSource. This field
  // is populated only for the CSIMigration feature. It contains
  // translated fields from a pod's inline VolumeSource to a
  // PersistentVolumeSpec. This field is beta-level and is only
  // honored by servers that enabled the CSIMigration feature.
  // +optional
  optional k8s.io.api.core.v1.PersistentVolumeSpec inlineVolumeSpec = 2;
}

This decoupling of parts, and being a "microframework" that could be extended to cover exactly what is needed was a key feature that I wanted to keep.

Given the simplicity of Flask, it seemed like a good match for building APIs. The next thing to find was a "Django REST Framework" for Flask.
