- Added metrics `authentication_attempts` that can be used to understand the attempts of authentication. ([#81509](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/81509), [@RainbowMango](https://github.com/RainbowMango))

- Kube-apiserver: Added metrics `authentication_latency_seconds` that can be used to understand the latency of authentication. ([#82409](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/82409), [@RainbowMango](https://github.com/RainbowMango))

## Major Themes

- **Simplified User Experience**
  - Easier to get a cluster up and running (eg: `kubeadm`, intra-cluster bootstrapping)
  - Easier to understand a cluster (eg: API audit logs, server-based API defaults)
- **Stateful Application Support**
  - Enhanced persistence capabilities (eg: `StorageClasses`, new volume plugins)

- The `--bind-address` parameter in kube-proxy is misleading, no port is opened with this address. Instead it is translated...

- Graduated Job's `ManagedBy` field to beta. ([#127402]...

deployments`) and be called when any other version of that resource is modified (for example `extensions/v1beta1 deployments`). This allows new versions of a resource to be handled by admission webhooks without needing to update every webhook to understand the new version. See the API documentation for the `matchPolicy: Equivalent` option in MutatingWebhookConfiguration and ValidatingWebhookConfiguration types.
