* kube-apiserver: a new authorization mode (`--authorization-mode=Node`) authorizes nodes to access secrets, configmaps, persistent volume claims and persistent volumes related to their pods. ([#46076](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/46076), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

APIs are disabled by default.

* The `system:node` role is no longer automatically granted to the `system:nodes` group in new clusters. The role gives broad read access to resources, including secrets and configmaps. Use the `Node` authorization mode to authorize the nodes in new clusters. To continue providing the `system:node` role to the members of the `system:nodes` group, create an installation-specific `ClusterRoleBinding` in the installation.

  // NodeTaintsPolicy indicates how we will treat node taints when calculating
  // pod topology spread skew. Options are:
  // - Honor: nodes without taints, along with tainted nodes for which the incoming pod
  // has a toleration, are included.
  // - Ignore: node taints are ignored. All nodes are included.
  //
  // If this value is nil, the behavior is equivalent to the Ignore policy.
