- Kubeadm: add a upgrade health check that deploys a Job ([#81319](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/81319), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

- Kubeadm: remove the "ephemeral_storage" request from the etcd static pod that kubeadm deploys on stacked etcd control plane nodes. This request has caused sporadic failures on some setups due to a problem in the kubelet with cadvisor and the LocalStorageCapacityIsolation feature gate.

* Stackdriver cluster logging now deploys a new component to export Kubernetes events. ([#46700](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/46700), [@crassirostris](https://github.com/crassirostris))

- Failed pods associated with a job with `parallelism = 1` are recreated by the job controller honoring exponential backoff delay again. However, for jobs with `parallelism > 1`, pods might be created without exponential backoff delay.
