* The boostrapped RBAC role and rolebinding for the `cloud-provider` service account is now deprecated. If you're currently using this service account, you must create and apply your own [RBAC policy](https://kubernetes.io/docs/admin/authorization/rbac/) for new clusters. ([#59949](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/59949), [@nicksardo](https://github.com/nicksardo))

- kube-apiserver now reported the following metrics for authorization webhook match conditions: - `apiserver_authorization_match_condition_evaluation_errors_total` counter metric labeled by authorizer type and name - `apiserver_authorization_match_condition_exclusions_total` counter metric labeled by authorizer type and name - `apiserver_authorization_match_condition_evaluation_seconds` histogram metric labeled by authorizer type and name.

  - [beta] Added ability to authenticate/authorize access to the Kubelet API ([docs](http://kubernetes.io/docs/admin/kubelet-authentication-authorization/)) ([kubernetes/features#89](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/89))
- **AWS**

### Authorization
* The authorization.k8s.io API group was promoted to v1 ([#40709](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/40709), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

#### Node Authorization

  In addition, please be careful that:
  - kube-scheduler MUST start with `--authorization-kubeconfig` and `--authentication-kubeconfig` correctly set to get authentication/authorization working.
  - liveness/readiness probes to kube-scheduler MUST use HTTPS now, and the default port has been changed to 10259.

  - `--address`
  The insecure port flags `--port` may only be set to 0 now.
  
  In addtion, please be careful that:
  - controller-manager MUST start with `--authorization-kubeconfig` and `--authentication-kubeconfig` correctly set to get authentication/authorization working.
  - liveness/readiness probes to controller-manager MUST use HTTPS now, and the default port has been changed to 10257.

- `kube-apiserver`: added `--authorization-config` flag for reading a configuration file containing an `apiserver.config.k8s.io/v1alpha1 AuthorizationConfiguration` object. The `--authorization-config` flag is mutually exclusive with `--authorization-modes` and `--authorization-webhook-*` flags. The `alpha` `StructuredAuthorizationConfiguration` feature flag must be enabled for `--authorization-config` to be specified. ([#120154](https://github.com/kubernetes...

## Highlights

* Authorization:
  * **Alpha** RBAC authorization API group
* Federation
  * federation api group is now **beta**
  * Services from all federated clusters are now registered in Cloud DNS (AWS and GCP).
* Stateful Apps:

### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

- Client-go header logging (at verbosity levels >= 9) now masks `Authorization` header contents ([#95316](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/95316), [@sfowl](https://github.com/sfowl)) [SIG API Machinery]
