- Kubeadm: on kubeconfig certificate renewal, keep the embedded CA in sync with the one on disk ([#88052](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88052), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

- The feature gate was mentioned as `csiMigrationRBD` where it should have been `CSIMigrationRBD` to be in parity with other migration plugins. This release correct the same and keep it as `CSIMigrationRBD`.

  * Strategic Merge Patch

    * Reference docs now display the patch type and patch merge key used by `kubectl apply` to merge and identify unique elements in arrays.

      * `kubectl edit` and `kubectl apply` will keep the ordering of elements in merged lists ([#45980](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/45980), [@mengqiy](https://github.com/mengqiy))

* 📝 Add External Link: ML serving and monitoring with FastAPI and Evidently. PR [#9701](https://github.com/tiangolo/fastapi/pull/9701) by [@mnrozhkov](https://github.com/mnrozhkov).
* 📝 Reword in docs, from "have in mind" to "keep in mind". PR [#10376](https://github.com/tiangolo/fastapi/pull/10376) by [@malicious](https://github.com/malicious).

 - Kubelet flag `--keep-terminated-pod-volumes` was removed.  This flag was deprecated in 2017. ([#122082](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122082), [@carlory](https://github.com/carlory)) [SIG Apps, Node, Storage and Testing]

### 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

    * This keeps the behavior consistent with Docker integration, and fixes an issue that some container Prometheus metrics don't work when there are summary stats for multiple instances of the same pod.
