- `kubectl alpha debug` command now supports debugging pods by copy the original one. ([#90094](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/90094), [@aylei](https://github.com/aylei)) [SIG CLI]

Users who create ephemeral containers using `kubectl debug` should note that kubectl version 1.22 will attempt to fall back to the old API; older versions of kubectl will not work with cluster versions of 1.22 or later. Please update kubectl to 1.22 if you wish to use `kubectl debug` with a mix of cluster versions.

## Known Issues

* Exposed `/debug/flags/v` to allow dynamically set glog logging level.  For example, to change glog level to 3, send a PUT request such as `curl -X PUT http://127.0.0.1:8080/debug/flags/v -d "3"`. ([#63777](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/63777), [@hzxuzhonghu](https://github.com/hzxuzhonghu))

- Added "general", "baseline", and "restricted" debugging profiles for kubectl debug. ([#114280](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114280), [@sding3](https://github.com/sding3)) [SIG CLI]
- Added "netadmin" debugging profiles for kubectl debug. ([#115712](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115712), [@wedaly](https://github.com/wedaly)) [SIG CLI]

- Kubelet now exposes `/debug/flags/v` to allow dynamically setting glog logging level.  For example, to change glog level to 3, you only have to send a PUT request like `curl -X PUT http://127.0.0.1:8080/debug/flags/v -d "3"`. ([#64601](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/64601), [@hzxuzhonghu](https://github.com/hzxuzhonghu))

- Added validation of `containerLogMaxFiles` within kubelet configuration files. ([#129072](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/129072), [@kannon92](https://github.com/kannon92))
- Adding resource completion in kubectl debug command ([#130033](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130033), [@ardaguclu](https://github.com/ardaguclu)) [SIG CLI]

   ([#123413](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123413), [@seans3](https://github.com/seans3))
- A new flag called `custom` has been introduced in `kubectl debug`, allowing users to customize pre-defined profiles. ([#120346](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120346), [@ardaguclu](https://github.com/ardaguclu))

- The apiserver debug endpoint `/debug/api_priority_and_fairness/dump_requests` has been extended to dump executing requests as well as queued ones.  A column for StartTime has been added to the returned table, with the queued requests having a StartTime of "0001-01-01T00:00:00Z"....

#### Audit Logging
* [alpha] Advanced Auditing enhances the Kubernetes API [audit logging](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/debug/debug-cluster/audit/#log-backend) capabilities through a customizable policy, pluggable audit backends, and richer audit data.

#### Encryption at Rest

    *   tf.data input pipelines can now be executed in debug mode, which
        disables any asynchrony, parallelism, or non-determinism and forces
        Python execution (as opposed to trace-compiled graph execution) of
        user-defined functions passed into transformations such as `map`. The
        debug mode can be enabled through
        `tf.data.experimental.enable_debug_mode()`.
*   `tf.lite`
