- kubeadm: all master components are now exclusively relying on the `PriorityClassName` pod spec for annotating them as cluster critical components. Since `scheduler.alpha.kubernetes.io/critical-pod` annotation is no longer supported by Kubernetes 1.14 this annotation is no longer added to master components. ([#73857](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/73857), [@ereslibre](https://github.com/ereslibre))...

    * This fixed environments where CPU and Memory Accounting were not enabled on the unit that launched the kubelet or docker from reporting the root cgroup when monitoring usage stats for those components.
* New default horizontalpodautoscaler/v1 generator for kubectl autoscale. ([#26775](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/26775), [@piosz](https://github.com/piosz))
    * Use autoscaling/v1 in kubectl by default.
