### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

- Kube-apiserver: sets an upper-bound on the lifetime of idle keep-alive connections and time to read the headers of incoming requests ([#103958](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/103958), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG API Machinery and Node]

## Dependencies

### Added

- The kubelet no longer forcefully closes active connections on heartbeat failures, using the HTTP2 health check mechanism to detect broken connections. Users can force the previous behavior of the kubelet by setting the environment variable DISABLE_HTTP2.

documentation. MinIO strongly recommends *against* using compiled-from-source MinIO servers for production environments. ## Deployment Recommendations ### Allow port access for Firewalls By default MinIO uses the port 9000 to listen for incoming connections. If your platform blocks the port by default, you may need to enable access to the port. ### ufw For hosts with ufw enabled (Debian based distros), you can use `ufw` command to allow traffic to specific ports. Use below command to allow access to...

* On cluster provision or upgrade, kubeadm now generates certs and secures all connections to the etcd static-pod with mTLS. This includes the etcd serving cert, the etcd peer cert, and the apiserver etcd client cert. Flags and hostMounts are added to the etcd and apiserver static-pods to load these certs. For connections to etcd, https is now used in favor of http. ([#57415](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/57415), [@stealthybox](htt...
