## Changes by Kind

### API Change

- Kubeadm: enhanced the "patches" functionality to be able to patch kubelet config files containing `v1beta1.KubeletConfiguration`. The new patch target is called `kubeletconfiguration` (e.g. patch file `kubeletconfiguration+json.json`).This makes it possible to apply node specific KubeletConfiguration options during `init`, `join` and `upgrade`, while the main `KubeletConfiguration`...

// iamStorageWatcher is implemented by `IAMStorageAPI` implementers that
// additionally support watching storage for changes.
type iamStorageWatcher interface {
	watch(ctx context.Context, keyPath string) <-chan iamWatchEvent
}

// Set default canned policies only if not already overridden by users.
func setDefaultCannedPolicies(policies map[string]PolicyDoc) {

    * Add `kubectl apply edit-last-applied` subcommand ([#42256](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/42256), [@shiywang](https://github.com/shiywang))

  * 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.

*   Custom resources served by CustomResourceDefinition objects now support field selectors for `metadata.name` and `metadata.namespace`. Also fixed an issue with watching a single object; earlier versions could watch only a collection, and so a watch on an instance would fail.  ([#53345](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53345),[ @ncdc](https://github.com/ncdc))

#### **Other**

* Requests with invalid credentials no longer match audit policy rules where users or groups are set, correcting a problem where authorized requests were getting through. ([#59398](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/59398), [@CaoShuFeng](https://github.com/CaoShuFeng))
