* Some components like kube-dns and kube-proxy could fail to load the service account token when started within a pod. Properly handle empty configurations to try loading the service account config.

- 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](h...

- Added support to the kube-apiserver for an alpha feature enabling external signing of service account tokens and fetching of public verifying keys, by enabling the Alpha `ExternalServiceAccountTokenSigner` feature gate and specifying `--service-account-signing-endpoint`. The flag value can either be the location of a Unix domain socket on a filesystem, or be prefixed with an @ symbol and name a Unix domain socket in the...

add` does not apply to `DELETE` operations. The version being deleted on the source cluster needs to maintain state and ensure that the operation is mirrored to the target cluster prior to completing on the source object version. Since this needs to account for the target cluster availability and the need to serialize concurrent DELETE operations on different versions of the same object during multi DELETE operations, the current implementation queues the `DELETE` operations in both sync and async modes....

- 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.
