- 'Promoted `cronjob_job_creation_skew` metric to stable to follow the cronjob v2 controller,
  the following metrics had their name updated to match metrics API guidelines:
    - `cronjob_job_creation_skew_duration_seconds` -> `job_creation_skew_duration_seconds`.' ([#113008](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113008), [@soltysh](https://github.com/soltysh))

### Ephemeral Containers Graduate to Stable

  You can still access kubelet's `/healthz`, `/pods` and `/configz` by granting the caller `nodes/proxy` permission in RBAC but that also grants the caller permissions to exec, run and attach to containers on the nodes and doing so does not follow the least privilege principle. Granting callers more permissions than they need can give attackers an opportunity to escalate privileges.

  The scheduling hints allow the scheduler to retry scheduling a Pod that was previously rejected by the CSILimit plugin if a deleted pod has a PVC from the same driver.

- Kube-scheduler implements scheduling hints for the InterPodAffinity plugin.

"server" field in the  /etc/kubernetes/kubelet.conf file. The subphase of "kubeadm join phase control-plane-join" called "etcd" is now deprecated, hidden and replaced by the subphase with identical functionality "etcd-join". "etcd" will be removed in a follow-up release. The subphase "kubelet-wait-bootstrap" of "kubeadm join" is no longer experimental and will always run.

* The Kubelet's deprecated `--allow-privileged` flag now defaults to true. This enables users to stop setting `--allow-privileged` in order to transition to `PodSecurityPolicy`. Previously, users had to continue setting `--allow-privileged`, because the default was false. ([#63442](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/63442), [@mtaufen](https://github.com/mtaufen))

    [FTRL paper](https://research.google.com/pubs/archive/41159.pdf).
*   `Optimizer.__init__` now accepts a `gradient_aggregator` to allow for
    customization of how gradients are aggregated across devices, as well as
    `gradients_transformers` to allow for custom gradient transformations (such
    as gradient clipping).
*   Improvements to Keras preprocessing layers:

supports both synchronous blocking calls and async calls with callbacks.
