*   Azure Load Balancer Auto Mode: Services can be annotated to allow auto selection of available load balancers and to provide specific availability sets that host the load balancers (for example, `service.beta.kubernetes.io/azure-load-balancer-mode=auto|as1,as2...`)

### **CLI**

#### **Kubectl**

- When using `kubectl replace` (or the equivalent API call) on a Service, the caller no longer needs to do a read-modify-write cycle to fetch the allocated values for `.spec.clusterIP` and `.spec.ports[].nodePort`.  Instead the API server will automatically carry these forward from the original object when the new object does not specify them. ([#104673](https://gi...

A security issue was discovered in Kubernetes where users may have access to secure endpoints in the control plane network. Kubernetes clusters are only affected if an untrusted user can to modify Node objects and send requests proxying through them.

Type unification is controlled by a <i>matching mode</i>, which may
be <i>exact</i> or <i>loose</i>.
As unification recursively descends a composite type structure,
the matching mode used for elements of the type, the <i>element matching mode</i>,
remains the same as the matching mode except when two types are unified for

A security issue was discovered in Kubernetes clusters with Windows nodes
where BUILTIN\Users may be able to read container logs and NT
AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users may be able to modify container logs.

**Affected Versions**:
  - kubelet <= 1.27.15
  - kubelet <= 1.28.11
  - kubelet <= 1.29.6
  - kubelet <= 1.30.2 

**Fixed Versions**:
  - kubelet 1.27.16
  - kubelet 1.28.12

 - Insert a debug container in clusters that don’t have ephemeral containers enabled 
 - Modify a crashing container for easier debugging by changing its image, for example to busybox, or its command, for example, to `sleep 1d` so you have time to `kubectl exec`.
 - Inspect configuration files on a node's host filesystem
