* Native support for token based bootstrap flow.  This includes signing a well known ConfigMap in the `kube-public` namespace and cleaning out expired tokens. ([#36101](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/36101), [@jbeda](https://github.com/jbeda))

### ConfigMap

- kube-apiserver: `--service-account-max-token-expiration` can now be used in combination with an external token signer `--service-account-signing-endpoint`, as long as the `--service-account-max-token-expiration` is not longer than the external token signer's max expiration. ([#129816](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/129816), [@sambdavidson](https://github.com/sambdavidson)) [SIG...

### SIG Auth

- TokenRequest and TokenRequestProjection are now beta features. To enable these feature, the API server needs to be started with the `--service-account-issuer`, `--service-account-signing-key-file`, and `--service-account-api-audiences` flags.

- Topology Aware Hints now ignores unready endpoints when assigning hints. ([#106510](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/106510), [@robscott](https://github.com/robscott))

- The `EndpointSlicen Mirroring controller` no longer mirrors the `last-applied-configuration` annotation created by `kubectl` to...

    * ServicenameDelimiter string Delimiter to use to separate servicename from its configuration parameters Defaults "|"
    * OverrideSeparator string Delimiter to use to separate region of occurrence, url and signing region for each override Defaults to ","
    * ServiceOverrides string example: s3|region1, https://s3.foo.bar, some signing_region & ec2|region2, https://ec2.foo.bar, signing_region

* Removed alpha functionality that allowed the controller manager to approve kubelet server certificates. This functionality should be replaced by automating validation and approval of node server certificate signing requests.
