* Allow access to ClusterIP from the host network namespace when kube-proxy is started in IPVS mode without either masqueradeAll or clusterCIDR flags ([#65388](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/65388), [@lbernail](https://github.com/lbernail))

2) Alpha for CSI specification 0.3 integration to AWS EBS (Elastic Block Store)

    * 2. IPv4: api-server will assign an IP from a `service-cluster-ip-range` that is `ipv4` (either the primary or the secondary, according to how they were configured).
    * 2. IPv6: api-server will assign an IP from a `service-cluster-ip-range` that is `ipv6` (either the primary or the secondary, according to how they were configured).
    * Notes (v1.16):

### Bug or Regression

- Added jitter factor to lease controller that better smears load on kube-apiserver over time. ([#101652](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/101652), [@marseel](https://github.com/marseel)) [SIG API Machinery and Scalability]

### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

- Service session affinity timeout tests are no longer required for Kubernetes network plugin conformance due to variations in existing implementations. New conformance tests will be developed to better express conformance in future releases. ([#112806](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112806), [@dcbw](https://github.com/dcbw)) [SIG Architecture, Network and Testing]

## Dependencies

### Added

seccomp defaults, the kubelet uses the `RuntimeDefault` seccomp profile by default, rather than than `Unconfined`. This allows enhancing the default cluster wide workload security of the Kubernetes deployment. Security administrators will now sleep better knowing there is some security by default for the workloads.

To learn more about the feature, please refer to the official [seccomp tutorial](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tutorials/clusters/seccomp/#enable-the-use-of-runtimedefault-as-...

### Other notable changes

* CustomResourceDefinitions: OpenAPI v3 validation schemas containing `$ref`references are no longer permitted (valid references could not be constructed previously because property ids were not permitted either). Before upgrading, ensure CRD definitions do not include those `$ref` fields. ([#58438](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58438), [@carlory](https://github.com/carlory))
