* The Container Runtime Interface (CRI) version has increased from v1alpha1 to v1alpha2. Runtimes implementing the CRI will need to update to the new version, which configures container namespaces using an enumeration rather than booleans. This change to the alpha API is not backwards compatible; implementations of the CRI such as containerd, will need to update to the new API version.

- HTTP/2 connection health check is enabled by default in all Kubernetes clients. The feature should work out-of-the-box. If needed, users can tune the feature via the HTTP2_READ_IDLE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS and HTTP2_PING_TIMEOUT_SECONDS environment variables. The feature is disabled if HTTP2_READ_IDLE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS is set to 0. ([#95981](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/95981),...

it frontends equivalent mirrors in other clouds.  Please point your clusters to the new registry going forward. \n\nAdmission/Policy integrations that have an allowlist of registries need to include `registry.k8s.io` alongside `k8s.gcr.io`.\nAir-gapped environments and image garbage-collection configurations will need to update to pre-pull and preserve required images under `registry.k8s.io` as well as `k8s.gcr.io`.

- HTTP/2 connection health check is enabled by default in all Kubernetes clients to fix persistently broken connections (https://github.com/kubernetes/client-go/issues/374). If needed, users can tune the feature via the HTTP2_READ_IDLE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS and HTTP2_PING_TIMEOUT_SECONDS environment variables. The feature is disabled if HTTP2_READ_IDLE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS is set to 0. ([#100376](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/100376),...

* Change GCP ILB firewall names to contain the "k8s-fw-" prefix like the rest of the firewall rules. This is needed for consistency and also for other components to identify the firewall rule as k8s/service-controller managed.
