- Kubelet external Credential Provider feature is moved to GA. Credential Provider Plugin and Credential Provider Config APIs updated from `v1beta1` to `v1` with no API changes. ([#111616](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/111616), [@ndixita](https://github.com/ndixita))

### Auth

- Promoted pod resource `limit/request` metrics to stable. ([#115454](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115454), [@dgrisonnet](https://github.com/dgrisonnet))
- Removed AWS kubelet credential provider. Please use the external kubelet credential provider binary named `ecr-credential-provider` instead. ([#116329](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116329), [@dims](https://github.com/dims)) [SIG Node, Storage and Testing]

### Feature

- A client-go metric, rest_client_exec_plugin_call_total, has been added to track total calls to client-go credential plugins. ([#98892](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98892), [@ankeesler](https://github.com/ankeesler)) [SIG API Machinery, Auth, Cluster Lifecycle and Instrumentation]
