* Fix the bug where StartedAt time is not reported for exited containers. ([#45977](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/45977), [@yujuhong](https://github.com/yujuhong))

    * This is a breaking change (and only slightly) if you used dependencies with `yield`, used `except` in those dependencies, and didn't raise again.
    * This was reported internally by [@rushilsrivastava](https://github.com/rushilsrivastava) as a memory leak when the server had unhandled exceptions that would produce internal server errors, the memory allocated before that point would not be released.

* Remove 'system' prefix from Metadata Agent rbac configuration ([#61394](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/61394), [@kawych](https://github.com/kawych))
* Ensure cloudprovider.InstanceNotFound is reported when the VM is not found on Azure ([#61531](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/61531), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer))
