- Fix an error when using external etcd but storing etcd certificates in the same folder with the same name used by kubeadm for local etcd certificates; for an older version of kubeadm, the workaround is to avoid file name used by kubeadm for local etcd.

* In the vSphere cloud provider the `Global.vm-uuid` configuration option is not deprecated anymore, it can be used to overwrite the VMUUID on the controller-manager ([#65152](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/65152), [@alvaroaleman](https://github.com/alvaroaleman))

* Add --request-timeout to kube-apiserver to make global request timeout configurable. ([#51415](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51415), [@jpbetz](https://github.com/jpbetz))

- Add `percentageOfNodesToScore` as a scheduler profile level parameter to API version `v1`. When a profile `percentageOfNodesToScore` is set, it will override global `percentageOfNodesToScore`. ([#112521](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112521), [@yuanchen8911](https://github.com/yuanchen8911))
- Add auth API to get self subject attributes (new selfsubjectreviews API is added). 

### Promoted Local Ephemeral Storage Capacity Isolation to Stable

- Support for proxying a request to a peer kube-apiserver if the local apiserver is not able to serve it due to version skew or in the case the requested api is disabled on the local apiserver ([#117740](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117740), [@Richabanker](https://github.com/Richabanker)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth, Cloud Provider, Network, Node and Testing]...

* Fix a bug that ListOptions.AllowWatchBookmarks wasn't propagating correctly in kube-apiserver. ([#80157](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/80157), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t))
* Pass-through volume MountOptions to global mount (NodeStageVolume) on the node for CSI ([#80191](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/80191), [@davidz627](https://github.com/davidz627))

Durable Local Storage Management is Now GA ([#121](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/121#issuecomment-457396290))

- Makes locally attached (non-network attached) storage available as a persistent volume source.
- Allows users to take advantage of the typically cheaper and improved performance of persistent local storage
