specified) is `1s` which may be too small for some exec probes. Ensure that pods relying on this behavior are updated to correctly handle probe timeouts. See [configure probe](https://docs.k8s.io/tasks/configure-pod-container/configure-liveness-readiness-startup-probes/#configure-probes) section of the documentation for more details.

  - This change in behavior may be unexpected for some clusters and can be disabled by turning off the `ExecProbeTimeout` feature gate. This gate will be...

### Other notable changes

* Limit the body length of exec readiness/liveness probes. remote CRIs and Docker shim read a max of 16MB output of which the exec probe itself inspects 10kb. ([#82514](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/82514), [@dims](https://github.com/dims))

### EndpointSlices are now enabled by default

EndpointSlices are an exciting new API that provides a scalable and extensible alternative to the Endpoints API. EndpointSlices track IP addresses, ports, readiness, and topology information for Pods backing a Service.

- Pods will now post their readiness during termination. ([#110417](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/110417), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea)) [SIG Network, Node and Testing]

- Introduces extension point for external feedback on pod readiness.

has entered beta and is available by default. You can now [configure startup, liveness, and readiness probes](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/configure-liveness-readiness-startup-probes/#configure-probes) for your gRPC app
natively within Kubernetes, without exposing an HTTP endpoint or
using an extra executable.

  * Liveness and readiness probes now support more configuration parameters:
periodSeconds, successThreshold, failureThreshold
  * The new ReplicaSet API (Beta) in the Extensions API group is similar to

- Removed `/livez` livezchecks for KMS v1 and v2 to ensure KMS health does not cause `kube-apiserver` restart. KMS health checks are still in place as a healthz and readiness checks. ([#120583](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120583), [@ritazh](https://github.com/ritazh))
