//  2. "kubernetes.io/kube-apiserver-client-kubelet": issues client certificates that kubelets use to authenticate to kube-apiserver.
  //   Requests for this signer can be auto-approved by the "csrapproving" controller in kube-controller-manager, and can be issued by the "csrsigning" controller in kube-controller-manager.

* Fix the bug that query Kubelet's stats summary with CRI stats enabled results in error. ([#53107](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53107), [@Random-Liu](https://github.com/Random-Liu))

#### From a specific node syslog

The CNI plugins are executed by threads in the `kubelet` process.  The CNI plugins logs end up the syslog
under the `kubelet` process. On systems with `journalctl` the following is an example command line
to view the last 1000 `kubelet` logs via the `less` utility to allow for `vi`-style searching:

```console
$ journalctl -t kubelet -n 1000 | less
```

#### GKE via Stackdriver Log Viewer

    *   Extends the gpu_device_plugin e2e_node test to verify that scheduled pods can continue to run even after a device plugin deletion and kubelet restart.
*   The NodeController no longer supports kubelet 1.2. ([#48996](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/48996),[ @k82cn](https://github.com/k82cn))

## Changelog since v1.3.0-beta.2

### Action Required

* [kubelet] Allow opting out of automatic cloud provider detection in kubelet. By default kubelet will auto-detect cloud providers ([#28258](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/28258), [@vishh](https://github.com/vishh))

are installed to “/usr/libexec/kubernetes/kubelet-plugins/volume/exec/” on
every node, instead of being compiled into the Kubernetes binary. See [example](examples/volumes/flexvolume/README.md) for details.
  * vendor volumes into a pod. It expects vendor drivers are installed in the
volume plugin path on each kubelet node. This is an alpha feature and may
change in future.

AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users may be able to modify container logs.

* [alpha] Rotation of the server TLS certificate on the kubelet. See [TLS bootstrapping - approval controller](https://kubernetes.io/docs/admin/kubelet-tls-bootstrapping/#approval-controller).

* [alpha] Rotation of the client TLS certificate on the kubelet. See [TLS bootstrapping - kubelet configuration](https://kubernetes.io/docs/admin/kubelet-tls-bootstrapping/#kubelet-configuration).

  - The deprecated `--google-json-key` flag has been removed. Remove the `--google-json-key` flag from kubelet invocations before upgrading. ([#69354](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/69354), [@yujuhong](https://github.com/yujuhong))
