* kubectl port-forward now allows using resource name (e.g., deployment/www) to select a matching pod, as well as the use of --pod-running-timeout to wait until at least one pod is running. ([#59705](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/59705), [@phsiao](https://github.com/phsiao))

`Initializers` admission plugin is enabled.([#51436](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51436))

* [Action required] The validation rule for metadata.initializers.pending[x].name is tightened. The initializer name must contain at least three segments, separated by dots. You can create objects with pending initializers and not rely on the API server to add pending initializers according to `initializerConfiguration`. If you do so, update the initializer name in the existing objects...

mc mb myminio/test
mc cp /etc/issue myminio/test
mc admin user add myminio foo foobar123
export MC_HOST_foo=http://foo:foobar123@localhost:9000
mc ls foo
mc cp /etc/issue myminio/test/issue2
```

Only the last operation would fail with a permissions error.

## Configuration

Access Management Plugin can be configured with environment variables:

```sh
$ mc admin config set myminio policy_plugin --env
KEY:

- In the `wait.PollUntilContextTimeout` function, if `immediate` is true, the condition will now be invoked before waiting, guaranteeing that the condition is invoked at least once and then wait a interval before executing again. ([#119762](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119762), [@AxeZhan](https://github.com/AxeZhan))

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.
