- A namespaced object with an ownerReference referencing a uid of a namespaced kind which does not exist in the same namespace is now consistently treated as though that owner does not exist, and the child object is deleted.

- Kube API server accepts `Impersonate-Uid` header to impersonate a user with a specific UID, in the same way that you can currently use `Impersonate-User`, `Impersonate-Group` and `Impersonate-Extra`.

- Fixed a bug where unwanted fields were being returned from a `create --dry-run`: uid and, if generateName was used, name. ([#107088](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/107088), [@joejulian](https://github.com/joejulian))

- Fixes a regression in the pod binding subresource to honor the `metadata.uid` precondition.

* etcd: stop watcher when watch channel is closed ([#33003](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/33003), [@hongchaodeng](https://github.com/hongchaodeng))
* etcd3: dereference the UID pointer for a readable error message. ([#33349](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/33349), [@madhusudancs](https://github.com/madhusudancs))

  - `alpha` support (guarded by the `ServiceAccountTokenPodNodeInfo` feature gate) for including the node name (and uid, if the node exists) as additional claims in service account tokens it issues which are bound to pods, and `authentication.kubernetes.io/node-name` and `authentication.kubernetes.io/node-uid` extra user info when the token is used to authenticate.

* Updating apiserver to return UID of the deleted resource. Clients can use this UID to verify that the resource was deleted or waiting for finalizers. ([#45600](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/45600), [@nikhiljindal](https://github.com/nikhiljindal))

- There is now support for collecting pod logs under `/var/log/pods/NAMESPACE_NAME_UID` to stackdriver with `k8s_pod` resource type. ([#74502](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/74502), [@Random-Liu](https://github.com/Random-Liu))
- Changed CRI pod log directory from `/var/log/pods/UID` to `/var/log/pods/NAMESPACE_NAME_UID`. ([#74441](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/74441), [@Random-Liu](https://github.com/Random-Liu))
